Why we run Appropedia Jams: these can be a fun and social way to get introduced to Appropedia, and help people overcome barriers to editing a wiki.

Preparation for an Appropedia Jam

  • Confirm the time - make sure some reasonably experienced Appropedians will be there.
  • Confirm a chat tool.
  • Set up the Etherpad beforehand - just tidy or empty it.


Announce

  • Mailing lists (especially our own: A:Discussion lists)
  • Social media (Twitter, FB, G+...) - especially through our own channels: A:Social media.
  • A:Village pump.
  • Try reaching out to a different new community each time - e.g. permaculture, engineering students or environmental science students.

Face-to-face Appropedia Jams

  • Arrange a place with accessible wifi (or enough ethernet cables).
  • Start with some "definites" - people with a solid reason to be using Appropedia. E.g. students using Appropedia for writing up their assignments.
  • Make a page - e.g. Appropedia:Appropedia Jam/Arcata for jams in Arcata, California.
