| #### Cultural consistency | ||
|
|
||
| Continuous, regular sessions will be key to achieving my long-term goal of allowing people to move through the intermediate phase of technical skills development to the point where they are ready to take part in the more advanced communities. To provide this, I will need to ensure that the community is not dependent on a single person (me). Since the events should be fairly easy to organise, it should not be too difficult to find other people who can take on the organising work occasionally if I'm not available, or regularly after I have moved on. To facilitate this, however, I will need to fully document the administration of the community — tangible tasks like booking rooms, and softer, cultural things like how to handle disagreements and provide a welcoming atmosphere will be equally important to provide a seamless transition between community administrators. |

| #### Diversity | ||
|
|
||
| A lot of the existing communities I plan on targeting are aimed at underrepresent groups in technology — especially women. I'm not aware of many communities targeting other underrepresented groups, but my hope is that by building a reputation as a welcoming and inclusive community, we will reach and retain a diverse community membership. |

Lots of your implementation details support this

| #### How will you obtain these resources? | ||
|
|
||
| By collaborating with CompSoc, the university's computing and artificial intelligence society, I will be able to book access to university venues for little or no cost. In future, I could also ask tech companies in Edinburgh to allow us to meet in their offices. The other little niceties could likely be sourced from Edinburgh tech companies by providing the opportunity to provide a sponsorship at a very low cost. |

We're also able to support in this capacity!

|
||
| I will get in touch with the various groups I'd like to use to find members of the community, and ask if I can reach out to their members somehow — this would preferably be me talking about my event at a gathering of that community in person, but could also take the form of me making a post in an online space. | ||

| #### What are you going to prepare to deliver the content? |

I'm really interested in the content you'll actually deliver at the events! Where do you think you'll start?

Wherever people want to! I don't want this to be a top-down thing where I go in having decided what's going to happen this time, and honestly I don't see myself as a "content-deliverer" too much — this is far more about giving people the opportunity to learn from each other than from making them learn from me!
