Potential contacts to reach out to should be posted/listed on the Master contact list

@mateoclarke you had some recommendations for people to reach out to. Can you post them here, identify them on the list/add them?

I know we identified IBM design.

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

Here is the potential sponsors doc we started earlier this year: Potential 2016 Sponsors

For this event, I think it makes sense to focus on orgs that have a specific interest in Mobility and/or Design (not just straight up tech companies, at least at first). @VictoriaODell, please let me know as soon as you have the sponsorship prospectus drafted. That will be really important. I plan to share it via the Austin City Up email group because they are super focused on transportation right now with Austin being announced as a finalist for the Department of Transportation Smart Cities grant. That listserv includes groups like RideScout, CapMetro, Living Planet, Vizias, etc.

I'll reach out to my buddies (cough: @techtolentino & @chrsfshr) about any connects they might have at IBM Design who know who to ask about community donations to help use cover the cost of lunch boxes, Post It Notes, and other materials.

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

@mateoclarke will do. I'll work on it some tonight!

:star2:

Rough first draft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fc2awKqL2YTEHrjiN_iKomradNqiNbhJUp1y40hDj1U/edit

I left comments for myself to come back and edit. I pulled some of the language from the AC4D workshop page. Kinda busy since I'm with family in Galveston but want to get this done tomorrow if possible.

@mateoclarke had some things that need to be discussed~ A few comments directed towards you.

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

Thanks for getting that started @VictoriaODell!

I just added my comments. Lmk what's next. We should also pass it to Eric for review before we send it out. Want to make sure he's cool with us calling out AC4D alumni. Think he will be but just in case.

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

Also, are we set on the name "Designing Mobility Workshop"? I kind of just threw that out as a random place holder.

some others ideas started with the pair Eric threw out:

Civic Design Workshop/Bootcamp
Design-led Innovation Impact Lab
Human-Centered Design Workshop/Bootcamp
Mobility Innovations Workshop
Designing Innovations for Mobility

haha these all sounds so buzzwordy :bee:

Yeah, a little buzzy. :bee:

What about

Designing for Austin Workshop
Designing for Civic Solutions Workshop

I was just thinking we should probably follow up with Daniela and let her know what we decided on too. I can do that.

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

I like those better! :smile:

Of the two I vote "Designing for Civic Solutions Workshop"

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

Sweet. Making the changes in the document now.

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

I think it's good to send to Eric to review now. :eyes: :page_facing_up:

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

@mateoclarke Have you sent this to anyone yet? If so who? I don't want to duplicate efforts. I can send some stuff out today.

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

Behind on email so much I'm dreading it. 😖

Will start a list up a the top :arrow_up: with folks I reach out to.

Hello {person/company}!

Open Austin is partnering with alumni from the Austin Center for Design to host a free to attend workshop on using design thinking and ethnographic research for civic problem solving.

Our upcoming event on Saturday, April 23rd will focus on addressing civic issues under the theme of Mobility. We are asking for donations to help us pay for coffee, lunch, and post it notes for our attendees. Donors will be recognized in the lead up to and during the event. They will also be recognized in our event recap.

Would you or your company be interested in participating as a donor partner for this community event?

Here are more details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fc2awKqL2YTEHrjiN_iKomradNqiNbhJUp1y40hDj1U/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks!

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

We have donor commitments from Vizias and HubCiti! I've added their logos up top :arrow_up:. We should start including the logos as we move forward with the event page and slides.

There might be a few more via the City Up consortium so I'll keep the door open on that and wait a few more days before I finalize the amount that each of those companies are willing to give.

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

Added both logos to the Eventbrite page and slide deck. Need to update the blog post. >,>

twentysixmoons commented 8 years ago

@mateo So HubCiti donated $100, Vizias donated $100, b-cycle donated $100 and IBM donated supplies correct?

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

and USAA donated $300 just today. I've added all their logos to

the Google slide deck
the Eventbrite
the event blog post
the Press Release blog (no logos, just listed)
the Press Release Google Doc (no logos, just listed)

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago
