The slides are really good!

 

Slide 33 (The Ombudsteam)

The reference to https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-anti-harassment-policy is
fine and good.

But it is a bit lightweight and I think you also need to point at RFC 7776

 

Slide 37 (Badges and dots)

You have this slide hidden, but note that the text for "TBD (WG or BoF)"
overflows the blue block.

 

Slide 42 is obviously not complete

 

I am maybe missing a slide on how to approach people and how to talk to
people.

I tried to look at this from the perspective of someone who has never been
to an IETF meeting before (foggy and vague memory!). I think the order of
material on the page is about right. The one thing that is perhaps missing
is "How to ask for help."

 

IETF meetings can be frenetic and confusing: there is a lot going on and
things happen very fast. Although most IETF participants are going to be
busy, they are also friendly and helpful. If you ask questions in the Jabber
chat rooms <insert link> or in the Gather.Town <insert link> meeting space.
Don't be shy, but perhaps introduce yourself as a newcomer looking for help,
that way people will be especially sympathetic.

 

Thanks for the work.

 

Adrian

information

 

Chairs,

 

As discussed during today's wgchairs meeting, we would appreciate any
feedback you have on the newcomer's slides. These can be found at: 

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11Xsd810q70PR4TkN7F-egUBoTXa0fYcSlc50
t7qv19Y/edit?usp=sharing

 

Please remember that we are trying to keep this to about 45 minutes of
presentation so that we can leave time for questions. The timeline for
feedback on these is pretty short (by Monday evening). But, suggestions are
always welcome, and the version of the slides for each IETF is posted in the
materials for that meeting, and the webinars are uploaded to the youtube
channel. 

 

And, since I have your attention, feel free to comment on the Newcomer's
webpage for IETF 109

https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/109/newcomers/

 

You will note that the newcomer's activities for IETF 109 are listed early
in the presentation. We are going to be doing the following: 

*	2 Newcomer Overview webinars next week at different times to
accommodate timezones. 
*	The regular IETF guides program that matches experienced IETFers
with newcomer's for a more one on one experience. Information on guides
including the link to signup to be a guide (or update your availability
information) is https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/guides/. Watch for
additional pleading from Wes/Paul/Barbara to participate in the guides
program. 
*	Newcomer's quick connections the Thursday before the main IETF
(during hackathon week) . this is a virtual version of the Sunday afternoon
quick connections that we did at F2F meetings. We will use the newcomer's
space in gather. We will also needs guides for that and a simple signup
request will come out sometime next week. 
*	Two newcomer coffee breaks during the week itself where a few of us
will be hanging out in the newcomer space in gather for any newcomers who
might want to stop by and ask a question or just chat for a moment. These
will be in the first coffee break on Tuesday and last coffee break on
Thursday. 

 

As you can well imagine, we are still trying to figure out the right mix of
newcomer activities for our new virtual world. I'm quite certain these
aren't perfect and constructive feedback and suggestions are welcome. Also,
volunteers to participate in any of these activities are welcome. 

 

Thanks, 

Karen
