How to use Loomio
Welcome to Loomio, an online place for communicating and making decisions.
In case you haven't read the group introduction go back and read that 馃槑 but I will also put the Code of Conduct here as well.
This is an example discussion thread. You can add comments below. Threads are for discussing topics and getting clear outcomes. This thread is about how Loomio works, so post questions about that here.
You are currently reading the thread context, which can be kept up to date with key information and questions that help people engage.
To get started with Loomio:
Try commenting in an existing thread, or this one.
Tips for posting on Loomio:
To notify a specific person, type @ followed by their name
Drag and drop pictures and attachments or click the paperclip icon
See 5 ways to use threads for some ideas and tips
If you have any questions, see Loomio Help.
It might also be useful to see an example of an active Loomio group that actively uses consensus based decision making: in this case check this the social.coop group out. A toy example of using Loomio to made a decision about a shared resource can be seen here in the members subgroup (must be a member to view).
Please also see the attached presentation on Using Loomio to engage with Biotech Without Borders. At the Biosummit 6.0 I updated this presentation somewhat for a general audience incorporating the concept of getting paid via Open Collective and you can find that here. My rationale about using these two tools was also delivered at Biosummit 6.0 and I will link that presentation in the thread about software choices at the bottom of the context before the table.

Oh you see the same thing I see. For some reason I had assumed that the votes would be open to your inspection. If you want to sum up the outcome of your vote please do! As I mentioned in my comment it would be preferable if you did not create unnecessary email by notifying all. Thanks for playing around.
I don't think I told you but making threads is restricted to admins of the group. But if you let me know the thread you want to make I'm happy to green-light it and let you post.

Notifications, if there are any, are missing me.
Is anything happening with BWOB?

Thanks to everyone who voted. I created two events for scheduling flexibility and will likely post the weekend one for wider attendance.
The first was on Thursday March 10th at 20:00 UTC-5 and the second was on Sunday March 20th at 13:00 UTC-5

Hello all,
It's been expressed many times that this Loomio software has learning curve. Although I find the help docs of excellent quality, I also understand that it's not easy to learn something new alone (that's one of the ways I've been thinking/talking about the Online Microbiology Journal Club and I think of it as being loosely associated with the value of Collaboration as well as the purpose of community). This is also going to the first time I try and nudge everyone to respond to a poll. For some of you I only have Loomio as our point of contact so I may not be able to nudge effectively, but I'll try my best with the tools I have.
If you have someone you think I should add to this poll please let me know in a comment on this thread.
And let me know what times you are available to do a 1h online training on Loomio.
