[TriPython] Need a Durham Project Night Coordinator(s)

[Calloway, Chris]

The long-time Durham Project Night coordinator, Mark Lavin, is stepping down and we thank him for his many years of service. Caktus has suggested that we seek a replacement from among our ranks and they would coordinate with that person.

This involves being responsible for a card access key to the Caktus Tech Space, showing up for the project night by 6pm on third Mondays, letting people in, ensuring awareness of the code of conduct, and finally closing up the space at 9pm. Hopefully, this coordinator would also conduct introductions between attendees when a critical mass of people have shown up as well as facilitating any announcements or discussions as the coordinator feels useful for making attendees feel welcome and oriented. Totally optional: finding a pizza sponsor.

If being present for every third Monday sounds like more of a commitment than you would want to take on, possibly there could be a team of two or three coordinators who would back each other up. Multiple coordinators would probably need to coordinate the exchange of the access key with each other. I would imagine Caktus would want to limit the number of access keys but maybe they would provide one to each of multiple coordinators. We already have an access keys used for our monthly featured speaker meetings at Caktus each quarter.

If you have an interest in continuing Durham Project Nights at Caktus, please speak up.
