Wrangling Sites for Global Sprint
Reveiew the Site Hosts info.
The Site Registration form is open, share it widely!
Each Hub should aim to bring five or more sites to the Sprint. More sites means more participation, project work, and community building!
Workflow for Sites
- Aspiring Site Host (SH) fills out the Site Host Registration with checkbox for Hub affiliation
- Designated Hub Contact (HC) is notified of this registration
- Zannah creates at Ti.to event for the site, and adds SH and HC as administrators
- This site/event is added to our site map on the Global Sprint page, and participants can register to attend
- SH and HC should monitor the Ti.to event throughout registration
- As event date nears, HC sends out swag packs and signage templates to Site Hosts (if among first 50), and generally answers questions.
About Sites
While lots of Global Sprint activity happens online, the Sites are a physical space where project leads gather to work on the Sprint. A site needs good workspace for participants, and an internet connnection– preferably good, strong Wi-Fi.
Just as with MozFest and other face to face events, this is an amazing opportunity for your communities to get together, work together, network and create new relationships as well as strengthing existing relationships. Some of your partner organizations, groups, and institutions may have space available, and a built-in audience. If you're just starting a relationship with an group or org, running a small site at the Sprint could be a good first collaborative event. If community members are local to a Mozilla office, you might take advantage of space, A/V equipment and the built-in audience there, while making some new x-org and MoCo-MoFo connections.
We don't currently have any financial resources to support sites (for example, to pay for rentals of space or equipment or snacks) but we do provide printable signage, some A/V support and encouragement getting connected to the rest of the sprint. And we'll send out swag packs for first 50 sites to register!
About Site Hosts
Your Site Hosts should be prepared to create a welcoming space for all participants, and help to enforce Participation Guidelines. Ideally, Site Hosts are,
- reliable and responsible
- welcoming and approachable
- well-connected, natural networkers who can really promote the Sprint via social media, email lists, blogging, etc.
- relatively tech-savvy and prepared coordinate communications with their Site
