[Announcement] Event Coordinator Team Released

[Darkling 2,041 / 23,430]

Hello everyone. You may have noticed that we have a new role on the forums called Event Coordinators. This role was inspired by GCC and their approach towards event management. Currently there are four members of GFL who have been doing amazing work within GCC and pushing them forward with every event they produce. These members are @Runda @Pyros @Syntax and @Kubnair. The sheer amount of effort each one of them has put into their work within GCC is phenomenal!

That is why these members will be the first four to start up our Event Coordinator team!

 

Now for some details about this team and what they can do within there new role.

• My aim for the team is for one GFL event a month, starting with a Christmas themed event which they are starting to work on now.
• They will continue to work within GCC to provide events. However they can now request usage of GFL's servers and any other reasonable resource for use within GCC and for GFL events.
• They will be able to use the Creative team to create GFX for events and for recording/streaming and tweeting the events. 
• They have access to request the Developer team to edit plugins for usage within events.
• They are able to work with our Server Managers to be able to create events on our current servers.
• They have been given permissions to directly post and feature posts within the events sub-forum.
• Lastly they have been given TeamSpeak permissions to edit and use the Event channel, in order to support using TeamSpeak during events.

 

Now I would like to mention that working within GCC is not required by the role, however the team does need to be involved in the events from GCC. 

There will be opportunities for members to apply and help out the Event Coordinators but that will currently be handled through PMs instead of an application form.

 

This new role is something that will give us all something to look forward to and will help provide GFL with some regular, quality events. I have a lot of belief in the current members of the team and look forward to their upcoming work within GFL!

I'm glad something like this is finally being implemented.  Keep up the great work.  I recommend these guys also take a look at the Mini Divisions while they're at it... kill two birds with one stone.

I'm not 100% if this is a Promotion but Good Job, @Kubnair, @Pyros, @Syntax and @Runda.  

 

Good luck with your roles you Four!

not really, we have had this role for at least 2 months, but it was only on GCC. But we now have that role in here as well

That's the plan! We'll be hosting events on Main divisions, mini divisions heck our next event (cant mention the name yet) is not even a GFL mini divison but I get your point reviving servers etc. We're very excited to see what we can come up with and how many people take part in the events!

I just want to give some insight to anyone who isn't an Event Coordinator, although it's good to know as an Event Coordinator: I have seen in past communities and organizations, that these roles often make great pathways to leadership.  If you're interested in Staff positions, which would be quite good for you right now as inferred in earlier announcements, then I would definitely consider this.

 

Don't wait for things to be official.  Not an Event Coordinator?  It doesn't mean you can't take a stab at an event.  Remember: It's okay to fail.

And to complement that, you can always suggest your own event in here and we will give you the credits for it.

Good to see the GFL Community striving further, and well done to those who are Event Coordinators! Good luck!
