Comms Meeting Notes 2025-02-02

Questions:
    - what is the current volume of DMs on instagram
    - who is actually interacting with the IG right now
    + synergy between the RC ig and the WG igs (recurring messaging)
    - booking calendar on site 
    - freeze date for calendar listing
    - image and copy flow
    - color codes for google calendar
    - buffer / social use via platform vs direct logins
    
# Where does info for weekly calendar come from?
- 4 signal groups
- instagram
- calendar
- initiating signal DMs

An alternative to this could be setting up a second form to send out to event hosts that prompts them for the event description, hyperlink, flyer etc

Using tally would allow folks to upload their assets & stuff without being logged into a google account

# Types of events (for calendar color-coding+)
- public event, RC-promoted 
- public event, not promoted (internal or niche without desire for randos)
- notaflof rental, promoted
- private rental
List may be incomplete.

# What are the current existing workflows for programming bookings
- public: somebody submits a request via the google programming form
- casual/ad-hoc: non-commital/last-minute? people wanna use the space for something but won't be bummed if it gets booked, but doesn't end up on calendar/get promotion.
