Retrospective on the March 1st meetup
Some stats:
- Number of RSVP’s: ~120. Attended: 30
- Number of talk proposals: ~10. Selected: 5
- Planned meetup time: 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, actual time: 11:30 am - 2:15 pm
The Good
- High quality talks by all the speakers present.
- Talks covered a range of spectrum: people’s personal journey, their projects, digital commons, decentralization.
The Bad
- Forgot about sending reminder emails for RSVP’ed audience - might be a cause of low turnout.
- Event could have been shared early in socials, especially announcement of call for proposals. This could have attracted more talk proposals.
