@erikaraven @bendfulcher @PhillipGWard @agahkarakuzu @_mattboud @damadam @layerfMRI @neuropet @HealthHackAu quite specific problems, that really helped. need 1+ organiser with expertise in the subject matter to a) find ppl in the field b) help them figure out a problem big enough to bother with, small enough to get an outcome over a weekend
@erikaraven @bendfulcher @PhillipGWard @agahkarakuzu @_mattboud @damadam @layerfMRI @neuropet @HealthHackAu sometimes i’d start with pitching the hack concept at a scientist seminar, or get intros via other researchers. the conversation starts with ‘tell me what you’re working on’ thru ‘tell me what your day to day looks like’ before we’d figure out somewhere software may help
@erikaraven @bendfulcher @PhillipGWard @agahkarakuzu @_mattboud @damadam @layerfMRI @neuropet @HealthHackAu for a more diverse crowd, we advertised heavily in groups of different demographics: games designers, various women in STEM groups, accessibility meetups, that kinda thing
@erikaraven @bendfulcher @PhillipGWard @agahkarakuzu @_mattboud @damadam @layerfMRI @neuropet @HealthHackAu have a well documented process for each part that needs to happen, so each organiser what they need to do when. i was rather lacking in that part, @minillinim @FCTweedie and many, many others are much better.
@erikaraven @bendfulcher @PhillipGWard @agahkarakuzu @_mattboud @damadam @layerfMRI @neuropet @HealthHackAu @minillinim @FCTweedie i think i’ve finished vomiting up random thoughts now. (yeh, about that documented process…)
