Our first topic is going to be programming. So using your minty code 4295 6826. What kind of non session programming did you enjoy most at the previous conference. So we're we know that we automatically have programming all the time we have different sessions, but other than these sessions that we normally have outside of that perimeter. So what else did you enjoy most at the previous conferences. Again your input is so important because this is a community and we want to give the community what they want. So if you can utilize your minty code. 4295 6826 and let us know. Besides the regular sessions, what else would you like. Again, it's going to be like a social activity. It just can be a networking. It can be broken out into different sessions that you know maybe region wise you want people to meet. Okay, great. Communication on discord networking asynchronous activities. Okay. This karaoke is just really important here. I mean my God every time we talk about somebody bringing up the character. So I can guarantee you that that karaoke is going to be on there I bet you that I'm going to make sure of that myself. Opening reception. That's that's a great guided networking. Okay. Wonderful. All right. Our next question. Kim, did I already, is that the next question. What kinds of non session. Would you, did we already do this one already.

What topics that you think that you would like to basically have the keynote speaker address is important that you feel it's important to you or to our community. Again, utilizing the mentee code 42956826. Again, what topics would you like to see the keynote speaker address.

I love it coming because this is important, because if we're going to get one of these people we need to get on the ball with this. There was someone put something in the chat. Yeah, sorry, Tonya, I'll just pop in really quick. Hi everyone my name is Haley I'm an open education project manager with spark who's helping to support the conference this year. I will just note that for the mentor meter we will actually leave it open for the next 14 days after today. So if you go home, or, you know, sort of go away from this meeting and something comes to you later. So please feel free to access this later and input your suggestions here. This is the best way for us to sort of compile information and keep it all in one space so submitting it through man team meter is super helpful so just know that that's available to you in the future. Awesome. Thank you for reminding us about that. And Boris. Thank you bar so much. I also added the name, and I'm, and I'm so sorry that I've mispronounced it. Pym, Billinger. And I'm so sorry I badgered the name so Christina ask is someone who can speak on indigenous knowledge and OER, but I'm not sure who we have our own Ursula types that would be amazing. She would be an awesome keynote speaker and she that's one of her. That's her specialty. So Christina I'm going to put her name up there thank you for that I'm going to put her name on the list. She would be amazing. So just think about that as Haley said this will be up for another 14 days. So if you guys can think of someone or are basically have somebody else let let the other OER community know that this will be up so we're really we reference all your information that you give us so please spread the word that we're trying to find our keynote speaker. Again to provide us with more knowledge pertaining to open educational resources. Okay, Haley. Great and sorry, I'm just going to interrupt really quick because I think we have our questions set to word cloud. So I'm just going to stop the recording really quickly and make sure that these next few questions are free form answer because we want to make sure that folks, you know of course can submit. Of course, the long form answer so let me just double check that that is the case. Yes, it is. Okay, thank you for the brief intermission we'll go back to our regularly scheduled program. Programming. All right, perfect. I am going to now as Haley said the recording has been stopped. So please, please feel free to answer freely, which I hope you've been doing anyway. Again, our next question pertains to finance, and it says what questions are important to ask the open ed community when making decisions related to sponsorship. Again, what important questions do you think that's important for for us to ask someone who wants to be a sponsor for our open ed conference. I apologize recording is still live which is should it should not affect your comments. Again, what questions do you feel that we should ask pertaining to recruitment of sponsors when do you feel that's important. In order for us to keep aligned with the open ed community review for any open watching activities by the organization. What are your response. Are they nonprofit. Okay, consider how they collect and use user data. What does they want an exchange for sponsorship. Okay, quit pro pro. How do your company values align with open education, what are your goals and hopes for marketing to the open education community. Great questions, great questions that we most definitely need to address if someone wants to become a sponsor for our open ed conference. Great questions. If you think of anything else as Haley said, it will be. This will be available to you for 14 days after today. So please, again, go in and put any additional comments because they are being referenced. And we're using this as I as our guide to continue on working with our open ed. How does the or value and activity align with equity, diversity and inclusive at values. Someone says I disagree with nonprofit. I work at a social startup that really is driven by its own your mission. The reason it has a for profit business model is to pay for development and foster growth. You have to keep all of these comments in mind, we have to keep all of these in mind. We again think about what it takes to put up on our program and everything, keeping that same frame that that mindset that you have in reference to sponsorship. The next question asked, how should we be consulting the open ed community on decisions related to the conference sponsorship. What would you again like this information distributed to you. How should we be consulting you guys on the decision rating to the conference sponsorship. Again guys how again because this is very important. You've already given us ideas in reference to what, what, what the sponsorship should be, whoever this person the groups are that will be sponsoring the open education committee will be sponsoring us some initial. So how should we continue to let you know, an update you an initial thought as community to give input into a draft set of criteria, then the committee makes decision based upon the criteria. Okay. Now our last community meeting focus really on this sponsorship. I'm sure that the finance committee will be reaching out to the community again. Email survey with the list of potential sponsors or types of sponsors that's a great one. That's a great one being very transparent being very transparent. Any other suggestions in reference to how we should be consulting agree with letting folks give feedback on a list of sponsors. That is a great idea isn't it. Okay. A mechanism for protesting a potential sponsor. Okay, protesting. We're going to find that for protesting. I hope we don't have to protest a potential sponsor. But if we don't again if they don't align with the OER community. We'll have to reject their sponsorship. But I hope that everybody falls along with with our sponsorships. Okay, again, please feel free to come back to that question. Rachel is, is this still me or you. I think this is me now. All right me. All right me. Okay guys thank you so much for your input we really appreciate you. Thank you so much for joining us on Rachel here again so we're going to start with our general questions so what questions do you still have that you would like us to address at the next community meeting. And again I know Tanya mentioned it but if you are not logged in you can go to minty comm and use the code for two nine five, six, eight to six. Thank you for your questions to help drive our next community meeting and to make sure that you are all involved in this entire process of developing the conference with us. What kind of social programming will there be we got some good feedback from that in the beginning of the presentation so I'm sure the board will be discussing that. Great question. I'm sure that there are lots of opportunities for people to feel connected, even though the conference is online and we are attending from different places. Yes that's definitely a challenge and online communities and that's something that we're considering. We want to make sure that everyone in our community feels connected. Everyone made a great point about small businesses potentially being sponsors. How might the conference be an opportunity for employment related networking. That's a, that's an interesting take on networking at conferences I like that.
