I could be available from 20:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC on IRC or anywhere else online. |

we each post an "I am Spartacus" video admitting to being one of @moneromooo-monero |

I am available April 18th at 21:00 UTC as well. Including Livestream. I am interested in presenting some sort of mini-series during the Livestream. It might be fun to do a sort of "Monero Torch" where individuals send an increasing amount of Monero around to each other. It seems part of a Monero Anniversary celebration would include using the technology as a demonstration. Low fees make this quite reasonable. Could also make a montage of well known Monero community members doing something like the Ice Bucket challenge or something creative like that. Could play this montage on a loop during the day while the Livestream is not going on. |

midipoet and needmoney90 are making a puzzle for the event. parasew indicated that 21:00 UTC is good timing, but I am waiting on more details. |

hello everyone! Our plan in Vienna is as follows:
what do you think? |

Thanks @parasew! Would you like to livestream any events before I'm available at 21:00 UTC? I can get you the information you need to stream other events. Let me know what makes sense. It could be cool to livestream the countdown, for example, even if it's just us watching people mostly standing around and celebrating in a room. Do you have the recording equipment to make this happen? TL;DR: please say what events will be recorded or livestreamed. Furthermore, do you expect to participate in the livestream at 21:00 UTC, or simply watch it? |

We have cams, recording equipment and a good upstream here. Regarding the streams: i think we could definitely stream The workshops and things in between is a bit more tricky and i guess it makes more sense to not broadcast them, as people are usually more reserved when workshops are recorded. In the evening thing i can totally participate in the stream; we have small presentations here before, and i could then join in from another room and we project the stream in the main room. does that make sense? |

I can't throw a party today, but for the next Monero Meetup in Utrecht on Thursday, May 9, I want to summarize the history of Monero in 5 key moments. What do you think were the most decisive moments? Tell me what you think on Reddit. |
Edit: click here for the events.
parasew brought up an interesting point during today's Community Workgroup meeting: Monero's 5th "Moneroversary" is coming up really soon on Thursday April 18.
I'm opening up this Github issue to collect ideas on how to celebrate it. Here are some of my ideas, but please chime in with more!
Countdown. Monero's first block was mined approximately 10:50 UTC (6:50 ET). This makes it more difficult for people in the US, but possibly manageable for people in Asia and Europe. We may need to give up on exact timing or have several sessions.
Livestream. This could be in Coffee Chat-style, where people come together and chat about the various aspects suggested below. I think it could be cool to have a "mini-series" style, where one host is in charge of leading specific topics in a sort of micro-documentary. Thus, it will be longer than a normal Coffee Chat, but people are not expected to participate through the entire session.
Monero's most meaningful past moments.
Turning points in Monero's history.
Monero's greatest past challenges.
Monero contributor spotlight.
Workgroup summaries.
Monero's top future opportunities and challenges.
Setting up a Monero wallet and node tutorial.
General chat.
Meetup participation. paresew shared some interest in interacting with an online session. I personally recommend a quick check-in. It's difficult to organize two groups speaking with each other well. I would like to hear more about his idea to bring online and local communities together for this event.
Press coverage. This is a great opportunity for Monero press coverage. I would like to hear the Outreach workgroup's ideas for getting attention and making this a media-worthy event. We need marketing materials for the YouTube and Twitter thumbnails, and images for blogs and news to use in their backgrounds. It's a great change to set Monero's image and to build a set of sources.
Community participation. Community members should have many opportunities to participate. I can send notifications out on Blockfolio and Delta. We can tease it days in advance on Twitter and Reddit.
For an event of this magnitude, I would love to have Monero Core Team involvement. Outside participants, including Charlie Lee and others who appreciate Monero, should be included too. Let's make this a meaningful event!
Other random thoughts:
Ceremonial barolo drinking or giveaway
Fun games for the community to complete live

I am free after 21:00 UTC. @fluffypony indicated he can be free at 21:00 UTC on IRC. Sarang indicated he should be free that day.
