Welcome to OL7, Cohort D! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Leadership Training 🎉.

---

Before Week 1 (Jan 30): Your first mentorship call

• Complete the OLF self-assessment (online, printable). If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2 (Feb 6): First Cohort Call (Open by Design)

• Complete Assignment 'Write Your Vision or Mission Statement'. Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call.
• Watch 'Mozilla & Working Open'.
• Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3 (Feb 13): Mentorship call

• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement.
• Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas). Comment on this issue with a link to your canvas.
• Start your Roadmap. Comment on this issue with your draft Roadmap.

Before Week 4 (Feb 20): Cohort Call (Build for Understanding)

• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.
• Pick an open license for the work you're doing during the program.
• Use your canvas to start writing a README, or landing page, for your project. Link to your README in a comment on this issue.

Week 5 and more

• Create a repository for your project. New to GitHub? You can fork our templates.
• Add Contributing Guidlines
• Add a Code of Conduct
• Submit your project to Mozilla Pulse, add the tag #mozsprint

Vision Statement I would love to engage a community of people that wants to upcycle their old phones through creative projects and creative coding (imagine transforming your old phone into a robot, music instrument or internet device) using http://www.phonk.io

Just imagine your old phone as a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino. Lots of tech packed on a small device that is probably piling dust in a drawer!

Open Canvas

Its really nice to it! Through the process I realized that what I need to focus on the community and content, not much on the framework it self (which is quite developed at this point)

You're idea is really great and the website looks good too.
By now, it is not clear why someone should adopt phonk. "Unique Value Proposition" is open community, but you're just trying to start a community. I think you would need a flagship project that people could copy and see how easy and money-saving your approach is. But your OpenCanvas already covers this - good. I think it would be nice to have a contributor channel in you website.
Good luck!

Very cool. My organisation runs a similar project SuaCode to provide coding skills to African youth using smartphones. We use Processing with APDE app on Android. I will be following this project.

@t2d Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I need to work a bit on the Unique Value Proposition and a few more details, thx

@wumbor Sounds cool! Let me know if I can help you somehow! Phonk.io has some advantages. You can either code from the phone or from the computer, it has a fork of Processing embeded along with other API's such sensors, arduino, bluetooth, MQTT, etc etc and it's pretty fast!
