Rails Bridge Yilan, Taiwan on 3/21/2015 #60

Closed jane-shih closed 9 years ago

jane-shih commented 9 years ago

Hi all, We are hosting Rails Bridge Yilan on 3/21. There are a few questions I would need help with: 1) Is there a standard process to create a webpage for registration info so we could publish on the homepage of rails bridge? We have a volunteer-ChiunHau to help create the webpage. 2) Is there possibility to get sponsorship from Rails Bridge community in terms of $? 3) We currently have a few sponsors in line to help with banners, stickers, venue. Our coaches are organized by sdlong(very appreciated). This is a small scale workshop (30 students, 10 coaches).

Thanks, Jane

  1. You can use Bridge Troll to publish your event and manage RSVPs by logging in and clicking the "Organize Event" button: http://www.bridgetroll.org/. This will create a page on Bridge Troll that will also show up on the RailsBridge.org home page, and this is where students and volunteers will RSVP to the workshop.
  2. It is definitely possible to get financial support from RailsBridge for your workshop. If you have sponsors who can cover the food or donate a venue, that's awesome, but if not we can figure something out. You can email board@railsbridge.org to start that process.

Here's our guide for planning your first, small workshop: https://github.com/railsbridge/docs/wiki/Minimum-Viable-Workshop

Appreciate the quick response. I've created an event on bridge troll and will contact board@railsbridge.org soon. https://www.bridgetroll.org/events/147

Please let me know if I miss anything. Thanks, Jane

when will the event be published? please let me know if i should edit anything else to get approval. thanks, Jane

Hi Jane!

Thinking about this more, I'm realizing that maybe Bridge Troll isn't the best tool, since all of the survey questions are in English and we haven't internationalized anything within it. It might be better for the people signing up if you use a different event management tool that supports Mandarin. Things like the class levels on the RSVP form could be tough for someone with limited English skills to understand.

But, if you think that it's not a problem, I can definitely go ahead and approve your event on Bridge Troll. Let me know what you think.

jane-shih commented 9 years ago

Thanks Lillie. Based on your feedback, I've added a few notes and chinese explanation on the event page. We'll also provide detailed instruction for students to follow when they register on our marketing announcement. We'd like the event to be published as normal process. Thanks much, Jane

@jane-shih Sounds good!

Can you confirm for me that there's language in the announcement that explains that the event is targeting an population that is underrepresented in tech, and could you update the title of the event to reflect what group of people (women, I'm guessing from your email to the board) it's for? Something like "RailsBridge Yilan Ruby on Rails Workshop for Women" is the pattern we've often used.

jane-shih commented 9 years ago

Yes, I've also changed the title of the workshop. Thanks, Jane

Awesome, thank you! Published.

jane-shih commented 9 years ago

Thanks much Lillie. We are on track to market the event and the organizers are all very excited to see our event on the front page of railsbridge.org. Do you know when we'll get our sponsorship notice? If RailsBridge would like to treat my company as one of the partner organizations outside of US, I am open to discuss and develop a program to cohost open workshops in Taiwan. Thanks, Jane

@jane-shih Could you send a follow up email to finance@railsbridge.org? We've got a new finance committee these days, so you'll want to work with them on it.
