These can vary, based on your event. We often: |
|||
* ''Ask attendees to share their successes''. Find a few people (perhaps 5) to stand up and speak for a minute or two about what they accomplished during the day. |
|||
* ''Get attendees to fill out your exit survey''. Typically, you should plan your exit survey in advance of the event. At the wrap-up, you can use a projector and project a URL of the exit survey (preferably shortened with a meaningful name, using a service like http://bit.ly/ or http://smarturl.it/ ). |
|||
* ''Thank people''. Sponsors! Staff! And don't forget the attendees - they are there! You are glad they are there. |
|||
* ''Hand out tokens of appreciation'', if you can. Attendees often love to receive T-shirts, books, stickers. |
|||
* Follow up: |
|||
** Tell attendees to expect a follow up email and an invitation to join the alumni list (if you have an alumni list) and/or the general OpenHatch mailing list. |
|||
** Let them know about follow up events. If this is obvious -- like inviting people to a "project night" after an introductory workshop -- great! Make sure to share that recommendation, and do so with high clarity. Perhaps put the URL on a projector, and give people 90 seconds to check their calendars and sign up for it. If the follow-up methods are less obvious, think harder: for an open source outreach event, are there conferences nearby that are coming up? Is there a programming user group that welcomes newcomers that might be a good fit? Mention them, because attendees new to the community are likely to have never heard about them. |
|||
** Encourage attendees to keep hanging out on IRC, keep doing training missions and to keep working on the bugs from our bug tracker. |
|||
** Remind them about programs like GSoC and GNOME outreach. |

Revision as of 02:18, 7 December 2013
The following is a list of activities in roughly the order we run them at an event. (To see our typical schedule, see the Schedule page.)
Computer Setup
Open Source Communication Tools
You can see the current and past versions of this presentation here.
Learning Git
You can see the current and past versions of this presentation here.
Career Panel
There are several possible options for the career panel.
Ethics and History of Free Software
This activity has been mostly omitted from recent Open Source Comes to Campus events - mostly for time issues, but also because we think it needs a lot of work.
If you'd like to take a look, it's here: Ethics and History of Free Software.
(If you want to help improve it, that would be swell.)
Contributions Workshop
Here is the link for the Princeton event.
Wrap Up
