* What is our shared vision for who our target group is? | |||
** '''Jordan:''' In SfN there are 30k with super different ideas, but we can adhere to the same rules most the time. People define democratizing science differently. | |||
** '''Brad:''' Since we are ultimately working to extend the reach of NM, then we should be more broad. People who are interested in democratizing science should be included. | |||
** '''Jonny:''' Having the organizing notion as the belief/principle of what communication can and should look like -- open registrations initially | |||
** '''Nick:''' What is the purpose of NM being a part of this, what's the purpose for NM? Is it to create a space for people to talk with each other -- those exist. There is a community of people who have this shared vision for science, come join us. How people can be intro'd to community and values. | |||
*** Can we separate the goal vs. the how -- how to grow ourselves to a large open community can happen in many ways | |||
** '''Manisha:''' w/ broader audience, there is more moderation -- it can be hard, and time consuming. Discord mod mod during academy was hard. Will need to mod content too - is this mis-info, is this illegal, is this hate speech? A larger territory that we have not tackled yet in the NM before. | |||
*** To start could be helpful to start w/ smaller group, see how it goes, and then invite larger community. | |||
*** Need to have answers for questions, FAQs for common questions | |||
** '''Ogul:''' Scope of the community -- if it's only comp neuro, then the mods have to check all folks for their background. If we just do scientist, would be an easier check. Can simplify moderation for enrollment. But having a small number of people at first would be easier and then grow. | |||
** '''Jonny:''' providing the notion that scientist can be part of running something, and not just taking what's given (ex. journals) -- invite the people who are interested in starting open governance join us -- it will be messy but we can figure stuff out in our smaller group and then continue to invite. | |||
*** '''Brad:''' we can be clear about the phase we are at, and hopefully the folks who do come in at the start will be helpful is getting things started -- there is an urgency w/ interest in Masadon right now, can we set a timeline for ourselves | |||
** '''Jeremy:''' More people means more messy. Do we have an idea of how many people are going to join? If we are expecting high number, that will create more difficulty. | |||
*** '''Manisha:''' guessing that if we announce on NM twitter (22k followers) + linkedin (7K) + email list (~27k) | |||
*** '''Jordan:''' is there a waiting list mechanism or way to open and close registration? --- 3 types of registration: open / closed (require approval) / fill out a form why you want to join -- waitlist seems doable | |||
'''Action Items:''' | |||
* Emails are holding us back right now -- Manisha will follow up w/ Kate | |||
* Also should expand server size (Jordan) | |||
Decision: we want to slowly open instance | |||
