  • make measurements and start on the drawings - sierk
    • sierk: can make something tonight that's more rough
    • anka: remembers joe showed a more extensive sketch. not sure it still exists.
      • for the video, we can fake it - eg pull out some old permit plansets/sketches from secure storage and shoot a few of us sketching / looking at it on one of the counters in the kitchen - let's shoot it quick tonight
  • learn how to use google docs :) - gerald & joe - here's a video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBh8bMC7XEU

video

  • 3:26 long
  • repeat of word 'large' at kitchen scene - also joe's voice a bit too loud/off
    • robb: can probably compress that part and get rid of some of the twang
  • add scene/shot at "this crowdfunding ... modernize and expand this kitchen"
    • maybe a shot of a mockup of the indiegogo page?
      • sierk: not sure what it adds, that or an image of the planning
        • phil: visuals in the omni help focus and slow it down
  • anka to send jenny video file and robb audio
  • add more flashes of link to donation / campaign page and upload/share organically (not just link to indiegogo campaign url)
  • Daniel: too long. took a long time to say "we need money". logo of food not bombs somewhere? people recognize it. perhaps put "omnicommons.org/donate" all on one line at the end.

budget

  • stove? only need to replace 2 burners
    • ken will reach out to some possible in-kind donors
  • estimate for new stove & demo of current is $7,000

timeline

community outreach - asap: reach out to friends and family for early pledges

  • It's recommended to 'tee up' funders and raise 20-30% of the goal within the first 48 hours of the campaign. For us that would mean roughly $15K pledged prior to launch.
  • video mailers - we have 400 - can load up to 3 videos, 20 minutes of video
    • anka: they look better on the videomailers!
  • everyone: forward spreadsheet for preliminary pledge requests from friends, family, org contacts: [REDACTED]

end of november: launch party

  • jenny put a placeholder on the calendar for Saturday, November 25th

project needs

  • someone else to help with quotes / budget (ideally someone with some familiarity with commercial kitchens and local contacts)
  • someone else to help with campaign text / launch
  • someone to lead community outreach for big donors
  • someone to help with project management / facilitation
  • someone to help with social media strategy / marketing
