[Coffee-organizers] HOW DID IT GO!! My Updatte

[Sandy Ordonez]

Hey Everyone,

How did your Coffee & Circumvention meeting go? We want to know!!! Share
with us, so we can learn from each other!

For NYC, we had a few snafus, but overall it went super well. We had a
really good turnout. Just to give you an idea of how diverse it was, we
had reps from a grassroot group that does alot of work around
homelessness, wikipedians, digital security trainers, activists from
Asia and Latin America, aclu folks, lawyers working on freedom of
speech, and so much more.

One Lesson Learned:
We forgot to leave time for networking/socializing, which by far has
been super powerful in the past. Future formats will probably look more
like this: 20 minutes presentations, leave 20 minutes for Q&A, and then
the rest of the time to connect people together!

ONE WIN:
We also had three bilingual IT people approach us about learning how to
give basic digital security workshops so they can volunteer to help
folks locally. (Spanish, Arabic) In addition, two old school community
folks have agreed to have them as aides for a workshop, to help onboard
them.

Let us know one lesson learned and one win from your city, so we can all
learn from each other!!

Sandy :)
