Tam-tam
TAM-TAM GUIDELINES
What is TAM TAM? TAM-TAM is one of our internal communication tools/mechanisms for accountability, update and sharing of important, relevant and synthesized information with the rest of the AC network about ongoing of AC processes.
Who is sharing in TAM-TAM?
All the activities and working groups (temporary and permanent)
TAM-TAM content/structure format
TAM-TAM will be set up on FreshMail as a provisional platform until AC internal website is ready. For the first editions, information will be collected through the Google Drive and set up by TAM TAM working group for delivery. (see procedure description below).
IMPORTANT: TAM TAM is proposed to work as a platform within the AC internal website area. We have been in conversations with Website WG, and this process of re-adjusting and programming will take some time. So TAM TAM has decided to set up a provisional platform for the first editions, until the new website is ready. Guidelines will be updated and shared when this is ready.
TAM TAM TEAM + TASKS:
Teesa: In charge of call for contributions and reminders
Andrés and Platohedro (Lina+Luci): In charge of proofreading final content. Checking if there is any content missing. / Also Andres contribution with template design /visual identity.
Dani: In charge of setting up TAM TAM on platform and distribution to all AC mailing list.
Financial resources
We are as of right now working with an online platform. In the future we will be discussing this with Website working group.
Proposal for centralizing the information for TAM-TAM
We have created a shared folder containing subfolders with the name of each working group. Each working group will be responsible of generating the content they want to share with AC network. We have also created a subfolder for each triangle, so that each one can upload important information they wish to share (text, images).
In the future when temporary groups dissolve we will only have sub-folders for the permanent groups and activities, in agreeance with what was discussed during the assembly.

Working Plan
TAM-TAM will be delivered every 3 months.
(September 30th 2016, December 31 2016, March 31 2017 and June 30 2017)
IMPORTANT: As soon as all the guidelines arrive from their working group we will complete this document with more accurate content suggestions for each working group and activity.
Content can be uploaded anytime in between editions. TAM TAM will make contact with each working group through email two times to remind everyone of delivery dates.
FIRST REMINDER: A first reminder will be sent by Teesa via email a month before TAM TAM delivery date. Ideally each working group can chose one person from their group to be the contact between TAM TAM and their group.
The first reminder of the call for contributions for the first edition on the AC general list will be August 30th 2016.
SECOND REMINDER: The second and final reminder of the call for contributions will be sent by Teesa 2 weeks before TAM TAM delivery date.
The second reminder of the call for contributions for the first edition on the AC general list will be September 19th 2016.
FINAL CONTENT: Platohedro (Lina + Luci) and Andrés will be proof reading content, after this Dani will be uploading all the material to FreshMail platform to send out to all of AC mailing list.
CONTENT FOR TAM TAM
Each working group will be responsible of generating a document with their attached images/graphics and/or links to information already online. Therefore TAM TAM thinks each working group should have autonomy on what they want to share with everyone. So we decided we would give everyone some very basic guidelines on how or what content to share.
Keep it nice and simple: TAM TAM will be delivered every 3 months so maybe working groups will have a LOT of information to share. Try to keep it simple and straightforward, don't be afraid of using bullet points. We want information to be concise so it's easy to read.
Think outside of the box: Don't be afraid to share pictures, audio or videos of your process. Also links to videos, music or other documents.
Have fun: This is the way we stay in touch with each other. So try and make this an easygoing process. Think of it as sending out an email to your friends to tell them what's up with your life. Keep it cool and casual.
CONTENT STRUCTURE:
The structure of the FINAL content each working group uploads to their folder on Google Drive should be the following:
Title: Please be clear and concise.
Topic: Add the name of your activity or working group. Example: #Banga #Fundraising
