Facilitation within the dreaming-planning-doing-celebrating phases
Facilitator could ask the person who arranged the meeting to state his goals for it (privately, some time before the meeting). The facilitator can then decide on which type of organization is the most fitting (that is, if we come up with different suggested guidelines for meetings according to their dreaming-status, planning-status, etc.).
These four phases are part of a continuous circle, It takes place on many Levels: from one meeting the next one, from one Trello column to another, from one sprint to another with Scrum, from the vague idea of yunity to launching of the platform. So defining a meeting as a certain phase is helpful but it should always remain clear that the borders between phases are merging. For instance, celebrating can be part of every meeting, upon reading at the beginning the notes of the previous meeting on same topic (if any), congratulate ourselves on the tasks that have been achieved but also be reminded of which ones haven't, and of good, floating ideas that couldn't fit anywhere back then and might find their way into existence this time around. Also at the end of a Meeting, with a Feedback round, which can be either celebrating or doing (by reassessing what we did wrong).
Dreaming
- getting to know each other, when many new people.
- discussing values
- emphasis on feelings
- brainstorming without discussing ideas, just co-creating them
- should involve many community building energizers
Planning
- things need to be done: clear out tasks and assigning them, ideally. We want new input and we want to discuss how appropriate certain ideas are to figure out which ones should be implemented
- make checklists for future tasks
- have the minutes transcriber in charge of implementing new concrete tasks that came up in the meeting in relevant Trello boards
Doing
- any technical meeting which involves one particular task being done, e.g. finalizing yunity one pager in Chemnitz
- the facilitator, if needed, invites to diplomacy in communication -as always, but deciding as a group on what some people have been working on individually can be tricky because easily perceived as invasion and disrespect of personal work
- feedback, readjusting current work. What could be done better, why are we not reaching our goals, etc..
Celebrating
- nothing new should come out. We gather our many achievements, to feel good and be aware of what others have been up to.
- many energizers. Perhaps even booze.
Facilitation... in general
Possibility to ask again to participants after stating main goal (mentionned above) what they want to discuss during this meeting, to better organize time in letting people express themselves. Appropriate if goal is very vague and open. In this listing, don't hesitate to Interrupt: participants can often start to develop their ideas or reflect upon others, but this should be short: we simply want a list to manage time fairly. Also, when participants know the upcoming content of a meeting, they can auto-regulate themselves in speaking time and in what is appropriate to bring up (or so we hope... 
).
