About this page
This page (and the pages it links to) are a proposal for how meta-organizing (a concept we're borrowing from Railsbridge) could be blended into Open Source Comes to Campus.
Roles and responsibilities
Here's how we think about the people who make an event possible.
- Attendees: These are the people, typically students, who come to the event to learn about the event's topic, open source contribution.
- Organizer(s): This is a person, typically also a student, who handles local logistics like ordering food, reserving a room, and contacting attendees. They also are the person in control of the event's schedule. They might have experience attending or running other Open Source Comes to Campus events, but it's OK if they don't. They're likely to need help, and that's OK, because they are supported by a meta-organizer.
- Meta-organizer: This is a person, located anywhere in the world, who is the main contact point for the Organizer(s) to help them answer questions. What should the curriculum look like? How do we find funding for food? What possible mentors live nearby, and how do we contact them? This person might be an experienced volunteer who's run other Open Source Comes to Campus events, or might be a board member or staff member of OpenHatch itself.
