Camp and Family

Our docs, dates, votes and roles get grouped into two contexts: Camp and Family.

Glow Job Camp

<aside> ⛺ The Camp context is all about things directly related to on-playa life this year.

</aside>

• The Glow Job Camp group:
  • Is everybody planning to go to Burning Man this year
  • Who’s in the camp group changes yearly
  • People are added to this group & become voting members once they commit to the year by signing this year’s Letter of Intent.
  • Fills Camp-related roles for this year
  • Pays dues
  • Has a higher-frequency communications channel specifically for BRC planning
  • Also gets Family channel communications
  • Since everybody in the Camp group is also in the Family group, the Camp votes on both Camp and Family context votes.
  • Is empowered to make all decisions that affect camp for the year including:
    • budget and dues
    • membership
    • logistics
    • interactivity
    • art
  • This year’s Camp Book is where all the camp docs live.

Glow Job Family

<aside> 🌟 The Family context is about all the wider friendship, organizational and steering ideas that stretch outside the activities of this year’s camp.

</aside>

• The Glow Job Family group:
  • Is our extended roster, and includes the current camp roster + everybody who’s ever camped with us or is considered a member
  • Is a way to maintain friendships and keep in touch with people who aren’t attending Burning Man this year
  • Fills Family-related roles
    • Family related roles include non-playa roles, general admin stuff, steering/vision roles
  • Does not pay dues. Does not sign the letter of intent this year.
  • Invited to Camp meetings but attendance is optional
    • We’ll publish all meetings to the calendar and anybody is welcome to join, but will send Camp meeting invites just to Camp, and Family meeting invites to everybody
  • Should attend Family events if possible
  • Has a relatively lower-frequency communications channel for general items
  • Can opt in to Camp channel communications
  • People are automatically added to this group and are in it until they ask to be removed
  • Votes on Family context votes.
    • People who are only in the Family group this year can voice opinions on Camp context votes but abstain from voting on Camp votes.
  • Is empowered to make admin, comms, steering and long-arc decisions about Glow Job as long as they don’t limit Camp’s ability to make decisions for itself
• Glow Job Family Book is where all the Family docs live

If you are not going to Burning Man this year, here’s what this means for you:

• We want to keep in touch and hope you do too.
• We’ll shift you from Camp communications channels and meeting invites to Family communications channels and meeting invites.
  • You can opt back in to Camp communications channels and meeting invites at any time if you want by sending a note to the person in the Admin role
• You are welcome to attend all Camp as well as Family meetings, but we don’t expect you at Camp meetings.
• You are welcome to voice opinions on all Camp as well as Family votes, but ask you to abstain from Camp votes this year.
• There are Family roles and votes you may want to be part of, and Family-related events & meetings we’ll invite you to.
• You don’t have any dues this year and don’t need to sign the Letter of Intent .
