Checking out "Onboarding," gets this on Wikipedia athttp://bit.ly/1RIieiN: Onboarding, also known as organizational socialization, refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members and insiders. Ok, but it does seem like a bit of a kludgy word. Which leads me to a thought I have been thinking these last few days. Can we dissect our ideas without offending each other? Is it possible to put stuff OUT THERE where we can smash it onto shape, and leave our bodies intact? I think this might be a peeragogical problem.

I would think this is the perfect place to do what you describe.

@lorenzsell had requested more active on-boarding of newcomers within our Augment Peeragogy Handbook v3 reading group. It's useful to think about how this can happen at different timescales (e.g., in vivo during a discussion, but also slowly, as in this follow up). Can we work together to design better protocols for this? Lorenz, maybe you'll return to this theme in your Augment seminar on sutra.co. Since you mentioned Burning Man as an inspiration in your bio on that site, I wonder if you've read the profile of Paul Romer here, which was based on an onsite interview conducted there:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/05/upshot/paul-romer-burning-man-nobel-economist.html

Maybe we can extract some relevant "Romerian" (sp?) patterns from his work, or from the way festivals like this work. The NYT profile mentions this paper:

There's also his Nobel lecture:

@holtzermann17 - interesting reference to the Paul Romer / Burning Man article. Burning Man inspired much of my aspiration around Sutra and the exploration of how co-creation can lead to deep connection and getting to know people in a meaningful way. Everything at Burning Man is participant produced and there's a culture of mutual reciprocity - meaning doing things for a person without expecting something directly in return, just trusting that the community will get you back when you need it.

There's a real magic that emerges in this way, but I've also learned that this emerges both naturally and with "engineering". I was involved in running a camp of 150 people and we spent a lot of time experimenting with onboarding. How we received new members, how we enrolled them in camp duties, how we built relationships between people, how we got them to actually show up to their camp shifts, how we created a sense of real community and family.

I think there's a lot of layers here: technology and how easy it is to use (github, google groups, keybase, google docs, zoom all present different levels of complexity for the average person), integration / information flow between the platforms being used (here for example we're referencing an onboarding conversation that originally happened on google docs), clear pathways of participation and entry points for participation (small easy things someone can do to get into the flow of contributing), the process / social technology by which new members are "acculturated" (creating a safe space where people can ask "silly" questions, communicating the general culture of the group), and probably a lot of other nuances I'm not mentioning here.

Maybe we can touch on some of this on a call sometime.
