Practical matters
Social events. Evening social events are an important part of the IPHU experience (cultural events, films, etc). These are entirely participant organised.We need a social events team.
Documentation. A disparate range of resources are produced during the IPHU (including precious photographs). We need a documentation collective to collects these so that they can be made available to everyone during and after the course.
Social media. We use social media to communicate among ourselves and with the outside communities watching this IPHU. The social media group takes the lead in making this happen.
Evaluation
IPHU courses are carefully evaluated as part of learning how to do it better (more on evaluation here). Nightly Program Committee meetings (open to everyone) and the Smiley reports are key mechanisms for in-course evaluation (here). We need a Smiley Committee to ensure that we have a new smiley template for each day.
All participants are requested to complete the online course evaluation. Watch this space.
