Event debrief

This is a template agenda for a staff debrief after an event

Goal

In this session, we consolidate information about an event we participated in and identify next steps.

Preparation

Individually, develop high level notes on who you met, what you learnt and potential next steps.

Agenda

1. New contacts:
   • who are the interesting people we met?
   • why do we think they are interesting for us as an organization?
   • what newsletters, mailing lists or future events should we invite them to?
   • process the contacts
2. What could the event and our participation in it mean for:
   • partnerships
   • codebase stewardship
   • the Standard for Public Code
   • developing our community
   • communications
   • improving About
3. Next steps:
   • generate overview of identified next steps
   • assign next steps to a team of owners (at least 2 staff members)
   • define a timeframe, if relevant
   • create issues on GitHub, if relevant
4. Decide if it would be useful to run a retrospective for our preparation, participation and debrief for this event.
