Re: New Member Orientation
So, I didn't get this done before leaving for this trip. I would very much like to publish something as soon as we can after the new members start accepting their invitations. Or, if someone beats me to this, that's even better. I'll be back in the office on April 2, and would love to record something then, or the day after.

Re: New Member Orientation
Thanks, everyone, for your responses and great ideas. It would be really nice if we could have our first episode ready to send to new members as soon as they come on board. Who will volunteer to do the first session with me? What I need is (I'm making this up, so feel free to push back) Someone who: * been a member for several years, possibly former board member, but that's certainly not required * speaks clearly * has a very clear understanding of what we expect of members * Has 20 minutes to get on a video call with me, and can do this either Friday of this week, or Monday of next week, so that I have a chance of editing and publishing in time. The first episode will cover the following simple points: * Members are expected to attend member meetings and vote * Members get access to internal resources that they didn't have before, but we still expect everything to be done in public if it possibly can Also, I need to regain access to the YouTube channel, which I have lost at some point. I expect that I'll need to work with Sally about that. Finally, Bertrand (or, anyone else!!) do you still compose music? What are the chances we could get a 10-second intro musical piece, like you did for FeatherCast so many years ago? --Rich On 03/12/2018 02:08 PM, Rich Bowen wrote: As you may have seen on members@ (those of you who are members) I'd like to do a series of New Member Orientation sessions (probably video, to be posted to the ASF YouTube channel, where we cover things like: * What are the rights and responsibilities of a Member? * How are members selected/elected? * What does the Board do? stuff like that.

Can the very first thing that we say is “attend the meeting” and say how easy it is to do that by proxy, before all the other stuff such as nominating/voting/standing for the board, nominating/voting members, seeing records, mailing lists etc?

New Member Orientation
As you may have seen on members@ (those of you who are members) I'd like to do a series of New Member Orientation sessions (probably video, to be posted to the ASF YouTube channel, where we cover things like: * What are the rights and responsibilities of a Member? * How are members selected/elected? * What does the Board do? stuff like that.
