Holo-REA 2020 strategic plan (ideation)
In our call today I've been asked to put together some strategic outline of where I see Holo-REA moving this year. I must confess that's sort of a difficult ask for me- I have taken a "flow based" approach to life over the past ~5 years and have been working well in a receptive, mostly reactive paradigm. What that means though is that I'm not really in control of my life and I never know what's going to be happening next week, let alone next year 馃槀 Soooo with that in mind, let's give this a shot...

+1 for a core group of practitioners.

Mattermost has worked for us in the past. Might be worth considering. But in general, yes I do think choice of platform is a balance of pragmatism/idealism.

We have a product that is workable for developers now. So #1 focus feels like developer exposure, workshops & training. The project is understaffed technically and more interested parties would definitely help with that.
In the short term, I'd like to explore some processes for sparking online communities, probably with @Carolyn Beer & Bear. Not taking this on has been one of my bigger failings- setting up spaces to "catch" interested parties is definitely necessary. This is probably largely a "service exploration", there are things like eg. Telegram that are really terrible and morally bankrupt but that everybody seems to use. So there's a balance between pragmatism and ideology to be had.
Longer term, something that comes to mind is training up domain experts on REA accounting, and training "traditional" web developers in using the framework. We lack a core group of practitioners who can educate and spread this work in their own communities.

Hey @pospi for sure! I regularly hear interest from folks about Holo-REA. My first idea is to do something like a mini-DevCamp, a series of online calls in which folks can get trained up and familiar with Holo-REA. It is great that you will be going to some hackathons in Europe and if there is interest, I would encourage you to do Holo-REA session/presentations at each of those. I bet Meetup communities would also loveeeee the opportunity to hold an event around a video call where you do a short presentation. Perhaps there are other ways? What do you think? Do you wanna call to do a brainstorm on this or...?
