Recent & Upcoming events
What to do now?
There are a few ways of going forward: 1. matching the organizers in different cities with the new grassroots mappers and letting them self organize. However with there are many major cities where we are not yet sure we have someone who could lead an event, so we could send word to those people where we don't yet have possible events that there will be virtual trainings and have people sign up for those? 2. making a general announcement to all the kickstarter mappers saying they can get in touch with organizers close to them if they are interested? Or join a virtual session. 3. holding off on making a general announcement until we are sure we can hold meet ups in the remaining cities we were hoping for. Also it would be good to hammer out exactly what financial support PLOTS is going to give to these events? Based on prior practices for the ones lead by staff we'll be reimbursing kit costs and helium. Are we going to extend that to the other organizers? That seems fair but is it financially possible? We are going to have participants contribute to cover helium, if organizers don’t make money back we will help cover costs. We have confirmed organizers for: Boston NYC Asheville Cincinnati Portland Vermont/Northern New England Davis/Sacramento Jerusalem Austin San Francisco We have people in the works for: Washington DC Philly LA Chicago Seattle We need organizers for: Toronto Berlin Zurich Somewhere in the Netherlands--leads A Virtual Meetings Fundraising
