KORONAKRISEN Coffee Break – when Corona time AV MARC WIDMANN How to do it Just send out an calendar invite with webconference details and remove the ticks under Response Options for “Request Responses” and “Allow New Time Proposals” so that you are not bothered by replies. But leave “Allow Forwarding” ticked. But send it only to a random sample of team members and non team members ofter the wider project enviornment. Ideally initially to ~ 10 team members. Further will be receiving the invite by others. With following text suggestion for the invite: I currently have many more telephone calls than I do have meetings on site in London and I don’t get “real work” started until the evening. This is certainly not only the case with me. Nevertheless, I notice that we have far fewer contacts across provider boundaries and also across tower boundaries. That’s why I think we need more conversations that just happen to occur by chance. So please get involved in the following. We just meet at the coffee machine in building C1 6th floor by chance and have a little chat. Rules • You must join with your web cam turned on. • You need to have a coffee or tea prepared for yourself before joining. • You may forward this invite only to one further member of the Apollo program after you have participated yourself in the “coffee break.” • The first topic of conversation after you join the videoconference must not be business (instead, for example, homeschooling, weather in your home town). • The 10th or each additional participant leaves the coffee kitchen (the call) due to overcrowding and arrives a little earlier for the next appointment. If somebody finds this idea stupid –> delete appointment in your calendar, but do not complain. 36 PROSJEKTLEDELSE • NR. 3 2020
