The open education community called out for support for #OpenEd20 and many have already stepped forward, https://tinyurl.com/openedcollaborators<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nkk0oJtGJEdbdu2WV7pnFttjeM9m4-UnqqQOU_H1FXc/edit#gid=1752633394>. From this call, a group of 65+ members of the community recently held a call to identify potential next steps. We realize that all members of our community were not able to join that call so we wanted to share out the notes [here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1daGqwSOy820t_TdLYXF4hXBeydYRQfUydux613-z338/edit?usp=sharing>] and invite everyone to add contributions or feedback. With a large scale effort like this on a quick turnaround we will need the support of the community to successfully execute a 2020 conference. We are inviting those who may not have been on the call to volunteer their and/or their organization’s time, energy, and resources to this effort. In particular, we need to hear from community members/entities that are interested in being fiscal agents/partners for a 2020 or 2021 event; have any venue locations that can be made in-kind; and those individuals who want to serve on conference committees. If you are interested in having your voice be a part of the process to determine next steps in the planning please fill out this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmKWXdM3r4XQIt5hEOURZMdRnzSZ_Xn1ti1gllAAnEk6t5Pw/viewform> by EOD Monday February 3rd. Please note if you already filled this out in response to the call in November, you do not need to do so again, but you are welcome to update or add to your information. Those who sign up will be added to a Google Group that will be used to communicate next steps in the process. Please note that the community may begin the next communications by February 3rd, so please sign up now if you are interested in partnering to support or volunteering your services.
