Agenda

Typical agenda

# Description Duration
1
  • Q&A session for new attendees related to the introductory presentation of Friends Of CNM;
  • If there is a room, the session extends to any question related to WorldOpp development.
15 minutes
2
  • One by one, those participants who would like to speak up, describe the challenges that the Group faces. The other participants may or may not ask questions and/or provide the speakers with their feedback.
  • The sequence of the speakers is defined by the agenda created in advance on the first-come-first-served basis. If the time allows, those speakers who are not on the official agenda are welcome to present.
up to 45 minutes
All of the presentations are pre-recorded and supposed to be viewed by the attendees before they arrive.

Specific agenda

The specific agenda is proposed by future participants, Friends Of CNM DevOps Administrator, and/or another event host using this CNM Wiki and approved by Friends Of CNM DevOps Administrator and/or another event host in advance.

Format

The Events are usually organized simultaneously onsite to accommodate those who needs face-to-face interactions and online to accommodate those attendees who choose to participate remotely. Any onsite Event should be accompanied by an online Event, but not every online Event should be a Event onsite.

Onsite

The Events shall usually be scheduled to occur in either:
  1. The cafeteria of McLean Bible Church in Vienna, Virginia;
  2. Any other public space such as libraries, restaurants, parks, etc.
By default, the announcements should be published at Tech Events for Managers and Entrepreneurs. They can also be published at the Career Network Ministry meetup group. The cut-off RSVP shall be set at about 24 hours prior to the event and, if no member RSVPed, the onsite portion of the Event shall be cancelled.

Online

The Events shall usually be broadcasted via some webconferencing software. The announcements shall usually be published at http://worldopp.org when such an opportunity is technically available. Until it is, Tech Events for Managers and Entrepreneurs can be temporarily used. If no new attendee RSVPed, the first and final parts of the Event shall be cancelled.

Requirements

Epic

Although the Events shall address needs of several categories such as skill seekers, job seekers, and/or income seekers, the main challenge to be solved is as follows. On the one side, Gary Ihar cannot find qualified employees for remote positions such as Friends Of CNM DevOps, Outreach, and Event Administrators. On another side, many would like to be hired, but they are not able to start working. The Events should primarily serve as a platform to discuss how to face this challenge. After all positions are filled in, the topic will shift to WorldOpp development, especially to development of Careerprise Orientation, WorldOpp Placement Seminar, and Septem Artes Administrativi, and, later, when the recruitment process is both designed and developed, to the WorldOpp programme.
