If you want to help OTS, make it better or give it a new direction, this is the meeting for you!

It's been a hell of a year on OTS, from it's awakening, organisation, to the many workshop that were hosted (almost 30!). We won't rest on our laurels. Let's take advantage of OTS's birthday to meet and see how we can make it be better, add new activities, and make OTS fit better its growing community.

All questions and idea will be welcomed during the meeting, here is a growing list (don't hesitate to send me a mail to add some on the list):

• Organising OTS around three poles: Art/Design, Technique, Entrepreneurship. We would need at least one person per pole.

• Launching the learner meetups, regular casual meetings for learners, where no OTS officials are required/needed.

• See who wants to help and what they can/want to help on.

• Motivating other people to organise workshop / lead coach / coach.

• Searching for new places where to organise workshops.

• See what new kind of activities OTS can launch (hackathon, game jams, art hack days...)

• Many people joined but never showed up to workshops. What are the tresholds holding people back to join the workshop? (place, time, topic...)

• Connecting with other groups (university, art group, co-working spaces...)

• Maybe OTS as a way to find a job? (either helping in founding a start up, or getting career opportunities...?)

OTS will be better thanks to you, don't hesitate to voice your opinion and come to the meeting!
