Thoughts about CodeRefinery future

Radovan Bast @__radovan


The easy part

  • There is demand
  • This work makes sense
  • However: If we don't do it, who will?

The difficult part

  • Connect "supply" and "demand" in an efficient and motivating way
  • Bureaucracy
  • Top-down sub-sub-contracting

Requires two things (one is not enough)

  • Motivated organization
  • Motivated person

How to motivate

  • Motivate organizations to give motivated staff some time to contribute
  • Reward their work (CV)
  • Reward organizations with training seats and collaboration network
  • Short commitments (instead of risky/unreliable years-long service contracts)

Future

(these are personal thoughts, other opinions welcome)

  • More invested and more open steering group
  • In-kind instead of top-down financed
  • Easier to participate short-term
  • Clear communication of benefits
  • Support synchronous and asynchronous learning
  • Mentorship
  • Schedule workshops 6-12 months in advance
  • Summer/winter schools
  • Grow into a center and attract people/projects
  • Trademark and organization registration
