How to run better online meetings

jwf · March 9, 2020, 8:11pm

Hi folx! In the Telegram/IRC chat this week, we briefly discussed inclusivity for online meetings and gatherings, in light of widespread event cancellation because of COVID19. @emma.irwin mentioned @abbycabs as a great resource for this and would be a good person to ask for tips on this.

Surprise, @jonatoni spotted this awesome Twitter thread from her unprompted! Thought I’d share it here with folks too:

That's all I have! I hope this helps you stay safe & have great online meetings! I learned many of these tips over the years from colleagues @mozilla! Shoutout to @OpenMatt, @chadsansing - @juliesquid shared her thoughts here (& inspired this thread): twitter.com/juliesquid/sta…

@sidneymbell @Stephani_Otte @sofroniewn @abbycabs @MozOpenLeaders @openscapes In short: Having a clear agenda, live google docing, videos on, & clear community participation guidelines/code of conduct are really important. I modeled (copied & edited) our agendas after MozOL; you can do the same from ours linked in this table: https://t.co/tyzhBe71KK
