# 2. [MIGRATING] Good Gathering Guide Hello, here you will find everything on how to run a gathering. We are updating the existing good gathering guide. # Updating the good gathering guide ## \[WIP\] \[HELP: pingouin/robin on the FOLLE\] ## What makes a gathering good? A question that faeries have tried to answer for ages. Some faeries got so worked up about it that they came up with a guide: The Good Gathering Guide. But 99% of the faeries don't know about it. This is the start of a project to update this guide (it's been 4 years since it was last updated!), and have it widely known and available to anyfaerie on the FOLLE. ##### [Here is the current version of the guide ](https://tmilon.com/nextcloud/s/BDLtjqgZFrLcwAo?dir=/&editing=false&openfile=true) **IMPORTANT: There will be a group reading session during the last week of February where we go over the guide and think about how to revamp it together** [**Please fill in a time that would work for you here.** ](https://rallly.co/invite/LkIQxzivCtbk) #### **Date and time for the meeting : Thursday Feb 26 4PM Paris time. We're doing it on Signal: [https://signal.group/#CjQKIPJz17DUglyLJfZpaDX5Imy3LOSx-NKuIHZiR5C6arKEEhCpAoGVbAfcBzjxAPHQYwi2](https://signal.group/#CjQKIPJz17DUglyLJfZpaDX5Imy3LOSx-NKuIHZiR5C6arKEEhCpAoGVbAfcBzjxAPHQYwi2)** #### Timeline for the project: ##### Mid to late February: - Making the content of the guide known to everyone, gathering opinions and feedback and missing pieces. - Group reading session last week of the month to have a more involved discussion ##### 2 first weeks of March: - Gathering the feedback previously accumulated to have a first draft of the updated guide on the FOLLE. ##### 3rd week of March: - Go over the first draft to affine things: Any section that is too content-rich gets refined so that the general advice is moved to a dedicated book (EX: if the "managing the kitchen" session is too long we make a book about cooking and keep it short in the good gathering guide). ##### Late March to early April: - The good gathering guide is shared widely to facilitators and faerie folks. Yippee!!!!!
