: My thoughts on what core things make freeside great.
==== Things that make freeside great ====
* Community
* Making/doing cool thing
I want to focus on those two things.
I think that when people do something cool in the space that is what will draw others to the space. I think most of the people that come to freeside want to make stuff or learn something. So this is what I think the feedback loop looks like.
<big>
# Freesiders make/do something cool.
# People outside see this cool thing.
# People outside come to freeside.
# People outside become freesiders and go to 1.
</big>
I would like to lube up this loop.
=== 1. Freesiders make/do something cool. ===
I think the board should remove obstacles and facilitate this.
* Encourage freesiders to do more cool things at freeside.
* Make sure the space is equipped to make/do said cool things.
* Make sure clutter or other things in the space are not getting in the way.
* Help connect freesiders to projects they would like to work on.
==== Some experiments to try. ====
* Keep track of ongoing projects more.
* Remind people working on projects to keep working.
* Ask them what is getting in their way.
* Ask them if they would like us to keep an eye out for people to help.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.
=== 2. People outside see cool things. ===
* Encourage freesiders to get projects to a state where they can tell people about it.
: IE Finish it
* Encourage freesiders to post their stuff more to the wiki/blog/facebook/their personal FB.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Other ways of promoting what we do.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.
=== 3. People outside come to freeside. ===
I think there are probably ways to make people more comfortable with coming to freeside.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Put up information in the space about where people should park.
: I think a lot of people who come to the space have not read the parking thing online.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.
=== 4. People outside become freesiders. ===
* Keep the space clean.
* Make the space welcoming.
* Connect new people with projects they would be helpful on.
