Fedora design video hangouts

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi everybody :)

Before the holidays I did a few very impromptu live design 
sessions/chats using streaming / video chats (the first was on twitch 
but I didn't like how one-way it was, so subsequent ones were on Jitsi.) 
We did some live digital painting, a design critique session, and also a 
Discourse theming session, with a lot of fun and random chatter and 
banter :)

I'd like to continue this on a more regular / planned basis, maybe every 
two weeks, and I am inviting my current set of interns and mentees to 
join in too (hoping it can be a teaching tool for them!) The idea is 
anyone participating can bring some design work they are working on for 
some critique / advice / etc. and if nobody has anything to show off I 
will always have some Fedora design ticket or thing I'm working on that 
we can look at as a back up. I want it to be very laid-back / chill but 
also a super-respectful, calm, encouraging, and safe environment. All of 
the Fedora code of conduct [1] rules apply.

If this is something you'd be interested in participating in or if you 
have any ideas or concerns around it, let me know. I am hoping to 
schedule the first session sometime next week.

Cheers,
~m

This was super interested and cool. I'm glad you're doing more and
definitely encourage anyone interested to attend.

I would love to join, too, if the time difference allows it :)
If not, would the meetings be recorded?

Hey Ella!

That I'm not sure of. I think we'd need the consent of all the 
participants to do it. I didn't record any of the pre-holiday sessions 
because I wanted to keep it kind of informal & loose, but I'd be open to 
recording at least some of the sessions if all participating were agreed 
or if we marked it as a session to be recorded ahead of time so folks 
not comfortable being on camera could either plan not to attend or watch 
with camera off or something like that.

I think sometimes when recording is on, folks act a little differently 
*or* they forget and then regret when the recording gets posted (not for 
any bad reasons or anything like that).

I know having recordings helps with accessibility though across 
timezones. One potential solution would be something like on Twitch 
where a stream recording is available for say a few days after the live 
session then expires and goes away. That might be a good solution?

We could also do something like the Fedora Social Hour where the time 
block is staggered every other session so if you can't make one block 
logistically the other could be feasible?

What do you think?

Cheers,

Hi everybody!

I've got a nice banner for the series created (see attached :-) ) and 
also set up calendar slot grid on whenisgood - so if anyone interested 
in joining up, if you could please visit this link, put your Fedora 
Account System (FAS) id in the comments if you don't mind, and select 
the times that would work for you over the next two weeks, I would 
appreciate it:

http://whenisgood.net/design-team-sessions

Based on what seems to be the time that works best for everyone 
including my core group of interns / mentees, let's pick at least one 
time (if not two so we could have an Atlantic time and a Pacific time) 
where the most of us can make it and set the regular times moving forward.

Cheers!
~m

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi everybody!

Thank you for replying to the scheduling survey; we have a time! :)

Wednesday, January 20 at 7 PM / 1900 UTC. [1].

Fedocal entry: 
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/design/2021/1/20/#m9895

I have an .ical generated from Fedocal attached to this email. The  I 
will send out an email closer to the time as a reminder and also to see 
if anybody has any specific work they'd like feedback on or specific 
topics. If not, we will fall back to the F34 & F35 wallpaper designs.

MEETING CADENCE

I would like to use this time slot moving forward every two weeks, so 
the second session would be February 3rd, the third session would be 17, 
so on and so forth. There were 3 folks (the minimum possible) who could 
not make the Jan 20 specific timeslot. If this timeslot during other 
weeks moving forward is impossible for you to make and you feel strongly 
you'd like to be able to attend, please reach out to me off-list and we 
can certainly investigate an alternating time schedule.

MEETING RECORDING POLICY

I'd like to propose we make the recording available only until the next 
live meeting, at which time the recording of the old meeting will be 
deleted. I think this is a reasonable mix of allowing folks who cannot 
make it live the ability to participate while keeping some informality 
level to the meeting since it's not meant to be a permanent record. Let 
me know here on list or off-list if you have any concerns about this (I 
am happy to summarize off-list concerns here to preserve anonymity of 
anyone raising them for everyone's benefit.)

MEETING SOFTWARE

- We'll use Jitsi via Matrix: 
https://jitsi.riot.im/sCKrJFTGlxUYsIwkZumatrixorgihpwhaq9pq8
- The video chat will be attached to our Matrix room: 
https://matrix.to/#/#fedora-design:matrix.org
- Firefox is recommended except if you have multi-screen and want to 
screenshare, in which case use Chromium or Chrome

These links will change after the Fedora element.io server becomes 
available imminently (hopefully before our first meeting?? :) )

MEETING SAFETY

I intend to maintain a laid-back / chill but also a super-respectful, 
calm, encouraging, and safe environment. All of the Fedora code of 
conduct rules [2] apply and I have zero qualms about enforcing them to 
keep this event highly-inclusive and safe for all.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Cheers,

~m
