Welcome to OL6, Cohort B! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Leadership Training 🎉.


Before Week 1 (Sept 11): Your first mentorship call

  • Complete the OLF self-assessment (online, printable). If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
  • Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2 (Sept 18): First Cohort Call (Open by Design)

Before Week 3 (Sept 25): Mentorship call

  • Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement.
  • Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas). Comment on this issue with a link to your canvas.
  • Start your Roadmap. Comment on this issue with your draft Roadmap.

Before Week 4 (Oct 2): Cohort Call (Build for Understanding)

  • Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.
  • Pick an open license for the work you're doing during the program.
  • Use your canvas to start writing a README, or landing page, for your project. Link to your README in a comment on this issue.

This issue is here to help you keep track of work during the first month of the program. Please refer to the OL6 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

Hey @npatil99. Congratulations on your project! :)
Do you have a vision statement?

Love this idea. :) Have you already considered Internet Archive or the Storytelling Conference as resources?

A very well laid out Open canvas. Would involving libraries and asking them to help in digital book contributions help your plan of collecting books?

Great idea! Who are hour partner orgs?

Interesting idea! I'm curious if there are additional features you could add to make this more interactive, such as tracking progress, reminders if they haven't picked up a book in awhile, suggestions for next books to read based on previous ones, etc. I know there are also some existing apps out there (Goodreads is one I use) related to books, so I'd be curious to hear more detail on how this one is different from existing products.

closing for now
