This would be the first gathering to further organize ourself. The objective of this first meeting would be: - get to know each other - have fun together - think about a legal structure (association?) - set the first miletones - organise our presence at BattleMesh Hope to see a great number of motivated people! Cheers! Pierre PS: We already received some advices to start this adventure, you can read them before joining us in this great adventure: * Be at least 4 * Have regular meetings (fixed date with 2 to 3 week between each meetings), this is a KEY part to ensure you are still moving. * Focus on long time sustainability of you energy, you don't want to spend all your energy at the beginning, you are going for the long run. * Don't kill yourself doing to perfect organisation with the perfect status. This is a very common trap and can kill a project by exhausting everyone. You goal is to provide people with neutral internet in an associative human sized and focused structure, everything else is only here to support this goal. * You generally have the choice between a hierarchical organisation * and a more self organised one. Pick the one you are the more at ease with. Self-organisation is great but requires enough experienced people in the group for that. * read the hackerspaces design patterns (they are short) but remember that they are only advices https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Design_Patterns * learn what is bikesheding, avoid it http://bikeshed.com/ * communicate with other DIY ISP, we are a community, we can help and we have already solved the technical problems.
