- [ ] Everyone: add messages to what we want to promote around EthMagicians https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-twyFi7h6HNGwxgs27qHv7TkiBqkLd6DJhuhAgFRQ6s/edit?usp=sharing
- [ ] Chelsea: Volunteers - define how many volunteers we need, deadlines for application/selection, orientation and role assignment
- [ ] Tomo: Logistics - define general needs and tasks, "local contact point" to determine arrangements (accommodation, food, transport, certificates...)
- [ ] WHO? Blog post communicating work gets done everywhere / face-to-face is nice to have -- don't wait, start collaborating now (MP can do this)
## Wed Oct 10th

Sponsorships
* Infura -- through Lane

* Also at Devcon
* Examples of how to run meetings
* When is DevCon schedule up?
Communications
* Fluence + livestream, RightMesh thanks, and BokkyPooBah thanks
* Email to all registrants / participants
* Donation: suggested ETH is 0.1? Or $25USD per
* BM: Suggested donations are signaling -- get people to understand they are supporting
* This week in EIPs? ETHMagicians weekly newsletter - Could be a bounty?? We ideally want organic contributors
Day of Wrangling
* Chelsea + Tomislav
Security
* Discourse isn't being used, coordinating topics
* Reframe Ring / subgroup
* Bryant -- like how Discourse is structured in categories
* Working group categories, then Rings underneath there
* Jamie: try and use tagging
* Bryant: Way to have a URL, tag links? Yes
* Bryant: recorded in Prague?
* Bryant: let's say we have an hour -- 20/30 minutes, history, choices we made -- then go over a discussion, loose consensus -- doing discussion in action
* Bryant: 40 people, but only 10 participated
* Boris: making room for discussion
* Bryant -- Monday, breakout sessions
* TO DO: fit in time for Bryant / Security Ring to model how to have a standards discussion
Peter Mauric / Recovery
* starting discussion in the forum
* recovery in the past 2/3 weeks, Vlad and Vitalik
* Path to an EIP focused on stuck funds, but also process to deal with critical issues as they come up -- rather than chats in the background
* Signaling? No, that will be Griff
Ring Leaders by example
* Ask Peter
* Jamie: project to wider audience -- once DevCon begins -- get more
* Get more activity on the forum
Forum:
* better discussion? add to Meta Magicians
* Boris: auto tweet EthMagicians
* Peter M: direct line to Twitter trolls

* We post it if it's 5 replies
* This conversation has been running -- what are your thoughts?
* Coordinate for This Week in Ethereum -- weekly EIPs
* Bounty to run it? Aragon Monthly does this well -- different links about governance
* Pretty nice bounty on it
* Not just on the forum -- on the EIPs flow
* A more formal activity
* A group that is more oriented to content -- to broadcast, to submit to the funnel
* A ring that focuses on communications
* Something that the signaling site was hoping to provide
* See it as a component of signaling
* Discourse -- elevated permissions as people participate
* Jamie is only admin / moderator
* Peter Mauric: concern -- concern that Dan from Musiconimi got blasted with rude memes
* Jamie: organizing through Signaling Ring -- looked at fewer dimensions, already want to be involved there -- can sit within Governance
* Peter Mauric: grants for this are being slow walked, not materializing, a l
* Kevin Seagraves: bounties on community projects, Gitcoin matching funds with Gitcoin Requests -- ECF
Tell people that they need to move on to future discussions
Only real requirement

## Wed, Oct 3, 8am - 9am PST / 17:00 - 18:00 Central Europe
Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/bkn-ntrc-hdw
### Agenda & Updates
- [ ] Budget update - got catering quote, thanks Josef
- [ ] Sponsors! No from Aragon, no from EEA, Yes from Fluence to do Livestream -- need one more
- [ ] Scheduling a meta-CoP call w/ interested parties - Chelsea willing to "own" this piece (what do we see as ideal basic processes and outcomes for Rings? goal here is to provide some templates and inspiration for the Rings that know **what** they'd like to discuss but not **how** to tackle it)
- [ ] Wrangling of the Rings - more ideas have been added; suggestions made to combine Rings; how/when do we "finalize" the Rings for CoP?
- [ ] Agenda review https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xD27SWjoCl7zaxSG6TMRS3MyCR4xuM-_xkeYI_Vvjjg/edit?usp=sharing
### Notes
Look at catering again
Fluence livestream
* Ask Caspar to coordinate with them
* only do the 29th
Sponsorship / Donations
* Have two more to cover
* With OBP we are covered for costs
* Stabilize with DAI
* TO DO: Boris to share finances
* Chainsafeth: help with multisig, helping with stabilizing
* Outright trade it for DAI
* Minimal Viable Governance
Chelsea + Tomislav
* discussed volunteers, etc
* Tomislav anchoring in Europe, on the ground
* Chelsea will do volunteer schedules
* Get people who are leading Rings, ideation call as next steps for ring, and outcomes
* Useful beyond EthMagicians, working session -- that has in mind what's next
* Chelsea & Tomislav will help host call, plus enthusiastic ring leaders
* Chelsea: pick a time, make an event, Boris to help with invites
* Topics of discussion / outcomes
* Breakout sessions vs. Rings
* Chelsea: wants to talk Decentralization ring
* Adeola -- what is a ring? what is a breakout session? Needs to be done for an agenda perspective
Finalize rings, don't wait
* face to face is just a blip
* start the discussion now
* Have a blog post?
* Boris: Pre-prague call suggested for people?
* Adeola: Come up with a template -- ring leader, fill out the template
* Can be free form, not prescriptive
* These five questions: why is it important?
* TO DO: Help come up with that ring template --> template for breakout session
* eg. breakout session on governance
* Tomislav: difference between the two?
* Outcome or structure for everything, it's OK if it's a breakout session, still want outcomes
* Should still have clear outcomes / outputs for everything
* Boris: is a breakout session smaller?
* Adeola: maybe not, just more succinct. 1, people may be intrigued, but not know the outcome -- Tomislav: learning about a topic / sharing -- 2,
* Bryant: governance -- not small or succinct, no outcome
* Chelsea: aware of
* Bryant: defining Ring as a group of people with a dedicated interest topic, and reviewing subsets of EIPs
* Adeola: Education doesn't have to be a Ring -- Bryant: it's a field! -- do feel that designation does help guide them
* Boris: will drop in Ring Formation links too
* Tomislav: every session has an outcome, they can choose -- we know the definitions, scope, goals, etc. -- let's discuss integration; some will be more about learning; these templates will be something that people can plugin
* Boris: issue is timing for these sessions
* Tomislav: depends on facilitators -- time frames
* Adeola: does dovetail into agenda
* Offline, still have people saying, how do I help?
* Going through the process of defining Rings -- good signaling
Agenda
* Adeola
* 28th is set for the timing
* Eth2.0 update
* Peter has said he will help
* Both for hackers, and participants
* Boris: when should we tell people to show up?
* Adeola: show up on the 26th! Hope that everyone gets there by noon -- session at 1pm
* Boris: space for discussion in a corner?
* Adeola: main room for Eth2? people can find areas out
* Boris: help ping Lane to help with people wrangling TO DO
* Who wants to take ownership? Say a few things and answer questions
* Bryant: one of most useful meetings, boss would sit us down, here is what management team is going to do -- ETH2 how is it going to affect
* Get people moving session
* Bryant: Tell us what you discussed is the only requirement
* Adeola: toolkit for facilitation
* Communicate
* Bryant: will do some facilitation tips
* Adeola: MC? yes, she volunteered

#### Notes
Space - Adeola / Boris (registration)
* 300 people even with 75
* Tomislav: capacity -- totally different for circles
* Adeola: space is setup for rings, breakouts everywhere -- does accomodate 300 people
* Broader concern -- take away, affect agenda
* Larger it becomes, more like a standard conference
* Tomislav: diminishing returns
* Boris: last time next to a big event
* Adeola: work can be done outside the meeting -- vast majority happens not face to face
* Tomislav: satellite events -- somewhere nearby, without any prior announcement or approval -- ligi for wallet? -- in their own circle
* Everyone comes together later to present to everyone.
* Organize rings or events, happening at same time, submit for 5 minutes a discussion
* Adeola: one thing to add -- created a draft for the agenda -- fewer lightning talks, and bigger meetings

MAX: 250
Agenda - Adeola / Bryant
* https://hackmd.io/24gMCamXQTSTDpUN-9w_ow?view
* Discussions in forum, ETH Berlin
* Feedback on ^^^
* Sunday, keep it light
* Monday -- meeting and
* Boris -- how do we mesh this with Status ending on Sunday and starting EthMagicians
* Maria -- Jarrad loves EIP0, can we do that on Sunday? -- will help with comms for Status coordinating
* Boris -- turn it into a time grid
* Boris -- smaller groups in the "main hall" of 5 - 15 people, and then larger meetings kicked out to separate areas
* TO DO: everyone review
* Tomislav -- define objectives of each session
* Just bringing together and talking isn't good enough -- should have results of each session
* Adeola -- what should it be? Tomislav -- it can be anything -- defining problems, proposing solutions, proposing what to research -- sharing the problems
* Boris -- template for people -- use HackMD as a notes tool, then next steps, objectives -- whole session is time frame, whole talk, meeting objectives
* Tomislav -- something we lacked last time, many things we found out, lots of people started thinking or learning -- lot less tangible -- try to support people to move towards objectives
* Boris -- high quality sessions as templates, Bryant?
* Bryant -- EthSecurity -- unconf before ETHBerlin
* Form into important groups, our thought for this session -- continue that work together -- broach topics we didn't have time for
* Tomislav -- full forming, norming, and collecting -- Bryant: objective is larger problems on working together, break it down to first principles, smaller chunks so we can solve over time; a little more Ethereal than just do
* Tomislav -- TO DO pick something you care about? Structure some sessions
* Boris -- facilitators GLOBAL VILLAGE - open space technology
* Adeola -- MC? TO DO / FIND

## Thursday, Sept 13th, 8am - 9am PST
Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/ain-fcig-dkm
Forum Thread: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/prague-volunteers-meeting-thursday-sept-13th-8am-pst/
### Participants
- Boris https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/boris
- Pet3rpan https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/pet3rpan
- caspar https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/caspar
- Adeola https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/aogunwole
- Bryant https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/fubuloubu
- Tomislav https://ethereum-magicians.org/u/tomislavmamic
### Agenda /
- [x] ~~Boris~~ Jamie: add Peter to EthMagicians twitter via Tweetdeck (BM - sent message to Jamie)
- [x] Boris -- check Picatic numbers
- We are at 138
- Boris: will post about this and get help in crafting something
**Simple way of thinking about organisation of this event...**
- Multiple unconfs at the same venue / day - eg. ux, wallet, security all taken care by ring leads
- To enable / support the event we need: operations, volunteers, sponsorships, communications
#### Notes
Adeola: Also important to make sure we are onboarding at every face to face event and aligning with the Mission. Will hopefully have lots of new faces in each location but protocol to reinforce the values each time.
#### Adeola -- Agenda Review & Feedback
See https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/council-of-prague-agenda-topics/1308
Also added editable HackMD link for the agenda: https://hackmd.io/24gMCamXQTSTDpUN-9w_ow?view
^^^ Boris: this is great, I have the feeling that this can get good usage
Space? Talk to Status (**Adeola** - I spoke with Status this week and have updates:My google hangouts isnt working so will type)
Status update: Met with Jonny and Andy on Inclusion OF ETH Magicians at hackathon. The space is large enough to accommodate us for the entire hackathon (Oct26 - 28) as well as breakout sessions for the entire hackathon. The main meeting room that we have seats close to ~75 people. We will have access to at least 3 breakout rooms as well for the entire hackathon. I‘ve requested a floorplan and should have one before the end of the week.
^^^Boris: OK. All good info.
*One request from Status* -can ETH Magicians provide mini "magic" talks about Tech or EIPS during the first or second day of the hackathon? This will be an alternative to typical sessions that the sponsors will provide and also to reinforce the EIP track of the hackathon
^^^Boris: I think "lightning talks" or similar from people behind EIPs is possible -- I think EIPs track is kind of on my head still, need to do a post about that
*Outstanding question for FEM* - do we want to extend the Council earlier to Oct 26 to be fully included for the EIP track of the hackathon and allow for more work/discussions? If so, we willneed to coordinatw with everyone who has registered so far so that they plan to come earlier than just the 28th
^^^Boris: I think generally the messaging is -- code heavy work in the EIPs track, summaries, discussion, and sharing at main council. That's not totally correct phrasing, but close. The current council registration asked if people are intending to do status. We can do an email to everyone and message this appropriately, getting them to be sure to sign up for Status Hackathon under EIPs track if they DO intend to come /me waves at @augunwole :+1:
#### Pet3rpan - Shilling Ethereum Magicians + Ux Ring
-> content and marketing plan https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zTJ3tQ6bgazHY0LllJ7W2XUaBB2AGURf
**Adeola** - I‘m having trouble accessing this Google Doc. Are there any restrictions? If not, it may be a total Google fail for me today 🙈
-> Coordination of ux ring will be taken care of fairly easily (this will likely become the Prague Blockchain Week's UX unconf) :+1:
#### Notes
Peter
* numbers -- doesn't make much sense
* educational things around magicians
* what we are, what we aren't
* ambiguity
* same thing with EF
* post right before the event
* keep it lighthearted
* illuminati of Ethereum
Eduardo Rodriguez
* dialing in from Calgary
Bryant
* ring aspect of it at the event
* SecurEth
Caspar
* curious to learn how to go forward with planning, take ownership
* Boris sort of project management -- how to get practical
* Said last week -- help Peter with marketing -- help Boris with sponsorship
Multiple unconferences simultaneously
Venue / Food / Sponsorship / Communication
Tomis --
* Someone else?
* Boris thinks Chelsea? connect directly
* Applications -- Josef, spillover from DevCon
Adeola
Have we finalized an idea around live streaming for overflow registeations/those cant attend? Discussed this briefly with Bryant - if we livestream vs just video, we should make the livestream interactive (Q&A monitoring, etc) for those who attend so that it’s truly worthile to watch live
^^^Boris: we need a Livestream lead and sponsorship -- totally agree that making it worthwhile or not do it at all -- this can be part of messaging, that if people want this to happen, need lead and sponsorship

## Notes
TODO: Status -- what our max capacity is at National House? What are the different spaces
Capacity -> ask Chris or Exiledsurfer from Status, they were recently finalising the hackathon location
150 people
80-90% attendance
Dunbar's number
Which rings are gathering?
- wallet - Marcus
- security - Bryant
- education - Adeola
- Request feedback from registrants on what Education topics to cover
- ux? will see - Josef help, Peter can help organise within the web3 ux community
- events / EthMagicians -- meta-ring, discussion session -- Boris
How to do tie ins between ring? eg. wallet security, education for everyone
Post: how to form ring? https://github.com/ethereum-magicians/scrolls/wiki/HOWTO-Form-A-Ring
Chainsafe / Aidan & Elizabeth -- do the call for rings / ring wrangling
Agenda Gardener -- Adeola + Bryant -- happy to have more
EF Ethereum 2.0 -- Antoine to reach out, apparently 29th
TO DO: Boris budget and sponsor list
Sponsor outreach -- Caspar -- fine line between company branding -- not a marketing machine for companies
### Security Ring, Bryant
SecEth Berlin
Small lightning talks in the morning
Parallel tracks / discussion in afternoon, plus summary / consensus
Present to wider group even if you weren't in the session
Prague good next step -- few tracks of that, very interactive
### Background
Thread https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/ecf-sustaining-sponsorship-call-for-volunteers/1185
#### Sponsor Outreach
Develop a write up on why / how sponsors can sp
sponsor, make a list of all the organizations, and email / follow up to see who wants to sponsor
+ boris, josef (?), caspar
#### Agenda Gardener
Someone to wrangle the agenda ahead of time; probably also outreach to get other people in gear and organized, such as ring makers.
We think we’re going to have one full day and up to 3 separate spaces. How do we run both an unconference track as well as help ring makers get chunks of time to dig into specific EIPs or topics.
#### Facilitation
In person, social scalability and conversation facilitation
Bryant -- facilitate rings
Jamie -- do a write up -- difference between facilitator and chair
Tomislav -- role of chair? MC
I think facilitation should be taken care of under the organisation of the rings themselves.
^ yes, definitely -- and then higher meta level
^^ I think the organisation of the event and enablment of rings by the magicians should be high level and abstracted away from the events/workshops themselves. more efficient / less details to worry about
#### Volunteer lead / Space Organization
Organize people who will volunteer over a couple of days on the ground; there is lots more to do here as well, such as helping people get setup with forum accounts, using HackMD for real time note taking, interviewing people in person about what they care about / what EIPs are great, and so on
Chelsea P -- said she would help with day of ops
Tomislav -- also volunteer
Recruit extended volunteers to help with these tasks
Signage
Places for agenda
Food / waste (Josef is asking for a qoute; TODO: GET CLUB MATE!!)
Power
Josef -- may have additional DevCon leftover volunteers
#### Marketing / communication / outreach
Outreach to people who should attend, messaging on Twitter, active recruiting of core Ethereum people and adjacent projects and allies
GOAL-> get the right people / eyes at the right place
+ Peter, support caspar
#### Ops / Budget / Ticketing
I (@boris) couldn’t help but stay involved organizing, so I’m sticking my hand up to help run budgets, ticketing & registration, and the operations bits of sponsorship.
- Chelsea help with Picatic
Video -- Chronologic will cover video
Food
- Josef help with catering; helping Status too
- one is using same provider as last event, or extending Status catering
