Crier

A Crier reminds us in Slack of upcoming meetings.

One Business Day Before The Meeting

• Announce the meeting in the Slack channel of our working group.
  • Include a link to the meeting notes, you can find them in the shared document folder
  • Include a link to the InnerSource Commons Calendar page so that potential attendees can copy the event to their calendar.
  • Include a link to join the meeting
• Send the announcement to #general using the Share arrow.

Behaviors

• Recruit external members.
  • Invite your friends!

Tips

• Make the announcement clear enough for those without a calendar invite.
  • Meeting day/time
  • Call info
• An excellent way to keep participants and non-participants intrigued is to include interesting agenda items from the calendar invite in the announcement.
• You can schedule Slack messages ahead of time. Write your message, click on the down arrow by the side of the send button and select Custom time.
  • You cannot easily automate the forwarding of this message to #general. Alternatively, it is a good idea to set a reminder for yourself to do it at the time you schedule your message.
