Find coaches

[jhilden]

Who would like to coach at a "Refugeesonrail"-like event?

The content and structure of the workshop will be very similar to the Railsgirls workshops. See e.g. http://guides.railsgirls.com/

Concerning our coaching style we would like to follow a similar appraoch to OpenTechSchool:

Our goal is to find 10 coaches for the 20 participants by the end of november.

So far we have:

• @jhilden
• @sangyye

@railsbros-dirk could probably be a Coach if we do it on November 21/22.

For @larsvegas it's not super likely, that he has enough time, but we will see.

[koos]

I can be a coach if we do it on November 27/28

[koos]

Another Idea would be to setup a special "How to meet the Cologne Tech Community" for refugees where all the other community events are listed etc.

[jhilden]

@marcel12bell would be a coach if it is not on the 27/28 because https://djangogirls.org/cologne/ is on that date.

Another potential coach is @DonSchado

[stephanpavlovic]

I would also join...

[jhilden]

Cool @stephanpavlovic

Maybe @Uepsilon can also help out with coaching (he will check his schedule)

[normanwenk]

I would like to coach. I don't have any rails knowledge though. Could provide a lesson for JavaScript to consume a rails rest service. Or any other idea?

[jhilden]

Hi @normanwenk great that you want to coach, I'm sure we will find a way to make it work.

Since we are expecting many participants with ony very basic or no web development experience, our plan for the first workshop is also to have very basic material. We are planning to do pretty much this: http://guides.railsgirls.com/app/
But I could also imagine that there might be a participant that is already interested in more advanced topics. Or if not we can just pair you with another experienced rails coach.

For further communication it would probably make sense for you to join our slack channel via http://colognerb.sangyye.net/

[jhilden]

@normanwenk in case you don't have any plans for tonight yet, we will have our next orga meeting tonight (Thursday) at 19:00 in the Cowoco.

[jhilden]

Let's do a quick recap of how many coaches we have:

100% (6):

• @jhilden
• @koos
• @stephanpavlovic
• @sangyye
• @normanwenk
• @Uepsilon

Maybe (3):

• @DonSchado
• @tatjanala ("Springer")
• @erdnusskeks ("Springer")

Probably not:

• @railsbros-dirk
• @marcel12bell
• @DittmarSteiner

So we still have room for 1-2 coaches more.

We would like to ask you to come a little early (at 17:00) on the Friday of the workshop for some coaches briefing and setting up the location.

Do you already have any questions that we could try to answer before the event?
