| r_aytoun | Activator/Validator Capacity
No changes here
I may be assisting Shammie with ESA Hub Validator training tomorrow with a view to getting a regional Validator team started. | 19:01:10 |
| r_aytoun | And finally last but just as important Existing Project (not mapping) | 19:02:07 |
| r_aytoun | Anything to add? | 19:03:22 |
| pete_masters | Not from my side | 19:03:30 |
 Bryan Sayer | In terms of projects that are nearly finished, I wonder if having some sort of activity to wrap them up might be worthwhile. All I can think of is some type of validation-a-thon or something. Maybe as part of a group training or something. | 19:04:33 |
| r_aytoun | I will be giving a talk and mapathon to the 22 MSc Disaster Management students at Portsmouth University on the 1st May. | 19:04:50 |
 Becky Candy | Hey r_aytoun I will be leading the training, we are still planning regional validator team to be launched in a capable of weeks | 19:05:32 |
| Bryan Sayer | Alternatively, is there a method or process for determining that no more activity is really needed, and the project could be closed out? Like there is no more humanitarian response, so more mapping is not needed? | 19:05:36 |
| Bryan Sayer | Neat! That's exciting | 19:06:31 |
| Bryan Sayer | Related to long term projects, is there any update on meeting platform and schedule? | 19:08:05 |
| r_aytoun | I have been co-opted into the Tasking Manager admin team and we are looking at what has been done and what is close to being finished. I have a list of 30 projects created in 2024 that have less than 10 tasks to completion and hope to publish the list to see who will take up the challenge of completing them. Some are closed to individual validator teams so it is not that straight forward. | 19:08:23 |
| r_aytoun | I believe that some payment is being considered to keep the slack channel going but we are busy off-boarding those that have not been active on the slack for some time. | 19:10:21 |
| r_aytoun | Asana was being considered but it is not that user friendly and is better suited to an internal company needs than a volunteer base. | 19:11:40 |
| r_aytoun | Well, we are well past the hour but if you want to discuss any items we can sneakily extend a bit longer. | 19:12:45 |
| pete_masters | I'm off. Thanks all! | 19:12:56 |
| Bryan Sayer | I don't have anything to add, but I can hang around if need be | 19:13:22 |
| r_aytoun | Thank you Pete | 19:13:23 |
 Tony Bendell | Thanks for the meeting | 19:13:56 |
| r_aytoun | Hello Tony, you were hiding and very quiet. Good to know you were there. Thanks | 19:14:53 |
| r_aytoun | If we do not have any other items then you can go get a cuppa and relax with some validating. | 19:15:15 |
| r_aytoun | Thank you all and those lurking. Meeting ended 20:16 BST | 19:16:46 |
| Tony Bendell | Yes good to keep up to date. Will pick on a third project to push on tomorrow. Think it's about momentum with projects. If mappers believe it will get over the finishing they will keep mapping maybe | 19:17:04 |
| Bryan Sayer | Have a good week everyone! | 19:18:40 |
| r_aytoun | Hi Becky, Shammie was at the Quakity Control W G this morning and invited me for tomorrow. Are you happy for me to join you? | 19:33:45 |
| Becky Candy | YESSSSSS, would you like to lead the training | 20:29:25 |
