Notes knowledge-sharing group March 27th
Here are the meeting notes from the Knowledge-sharing and Co-creating group meeting on March 27, 2023.
Speaker list
We’ve started with a blog post on this community group website with a list of speakers in a table. It’s good that this is publicly available in a tool that’s already being used. The layout is not the best, however. Sander will ask the administrators if there are options available here.
We’ve also discussed changing the layout within the blog post, i.e. not using one big table, but making sections per person and underneath each person a table or list with “Topic”, “Location”, “Speaker fee”, “Contact and additional info”.
An issue with this site is that only chairs can publish and edit blog posts and pages. Even the author of a blog post cannot edit it. Sander will ask the administrators if these rights can be changed. For now we’ve solved it by making a note that you can add a comment to the blog post or email Erik for changes.
Speakers should be aware that any info on this blog post is publicly available.
An alternative could be to set up a different website, for example hosted as a Github Page. This adds an extra layer of difficulty and another tool to be using. Not everybody is familiar with using Github and/or has an account.
Events list
First, we need to define what we want to show. If we only want to show accessibility events, then there are already great resources available. For example on the IAAP site. We could link to those. If we also want to list non-accessibility events, it would be hard to manage and to keep it updated.
A good alternative would be to write info by way of “I’m going to event [x] to talk about subject [y]”. That way each speaker can tell something from own experiences and this would not be too hard to manage (if any group member can edit this blog post).
Meeting notes
For meeting notes, this community group website is a great way to publish them. Please be aware that this is publicly available, so do not share any sensitive info, like passwords, in here.
Next meeting
We have not planned a new meeting yet. Please let me (Sander) know if you have any things you want to discuss. The easiest way to do that is to reach out to me in our Slack channel.
