Date: 2022-04-26 20:00 (CEST)
Participants: Nick, Bruno, Vasilis

1. Check in

• agree duration
• checkin

Discussion

• what to do?

  • draw a map more specifically on how different groups and communities are using other tools (the one on consumer/participatory culture is a good basis)
  • sketch

• discussion on the sketch: wall on group’s public page

  • is it possible to comment on a public wall without registration? Low barriers to interacting is nice.
    • Something like Jitsi?
    • Unverified e-mail address?
  • what about moderation? anybody in the group could delete messages

• idea about choosing whether a post is to the public or the group

  • taps into the discussion about a whole different conversation model for Karrot, like a feed with posts for the whole group, from a specific place, etc.
    • from separate walls to individual posts

• sketches

  • 1st sketch: quick contact by e-mail, like a contact form
  • 2nd sketch: SMS updates/notifications, to reach people on the fringes of the group
    • the point is to mobilize people, but also include others who would not be in the group
    • group or just broadcast messages?
  • 3rd sketch: public activity link
  • 4th sketch: public group page with wall, activities and “send message”
  • 5th sketch: different ideas for communicating with people outside the group
    • opt between public/members-only posts
    • contacting group just to give some feedback, without mandatory e-mail registration (but prompt them to do it)

1. Check in

• agree duration

Discussion

• after the sketches pick some of the sketches and turn em into a storyboard.
• start with an assesment of the sketches
  • pick the ones we like the most that can be the basis for a prototype/prototypes
  • reflection: we only focused on one form of breaking the silo, from an outsider perspective and not, for instance, between groups
  • What is the big idea (most interesting thing) behind the sketch?
    • “Public group page” (dogsaving seoul) sketch
      • opening up communication/low barrier for communication between the ‘public’ and group members
    • “Making things public” sketch
      • easeness for group members to share something beyond group barriers
    • “Public activity link” sketch
      • Low barrier to join an activity
    • “SMS updates/notifications” sketch
      • more inclusive, widespread used technology
    • “Contact the group by e-mail” sketch
      • simple way to just open a communication channel to the group
  • some thoughts: how to make public information on Karrot easily discoverable? Some kind of notification/subscribe/broadcast system? E-mail, SMS…? Maybe an idea for a new sketch, combining different ideas above!
  • consider the different types of communications proposed in the sketches: one-to-many, many-to-many
    • e.g. donating food to the group (one-to-many)
    • interaction between group members who distribute the food and those who get it (many-to-many)
  • What are the ideas that would have the biggest impact?
  • Any solution should be a low barrier one to access information and communicate (not yet-another-account kind of thing)

Actions/Outcomes

• try another sketch combining some of the best ideas (Bruno)
