NukeNews Mini Camp
- NukeNews Mini Camp on September 8-12, 2016 in Döbeln, Middle Saxony (D)
- project meeting focusing on developing the NukeNews newsletter system
- supposed to be a small and intensive version of the past Nuclear Heritage Network gatherings (the last Network Gathering took place 2014 in Döbeln, Germany)
From 8th – 12th September, 2016 you are invited to a five days working meeting in Döbeln, Middle Saxony. This mini camp will be a chance to meet NukeNews activists and interested people from several regions across Europe to discuss questions that appeared towards the work with the newsletter system and to improve the quality and the impact of the NukeNews. The project meeting will focus on developing the NukeNews newsletter system further, to get to know each other and each other's topics. Another aspect is also to have a nice time together to strengthen our friendships and collaborations to flourish the success of our future work.

Proposal for discussion topics
Here is a proposal for the NukeNews MiniCamp in September. As we intend to make it an informal meeting, we would just spontaneously in the camp decide what topics to be discussed when. There could be also more questions to talk about, and if not interesting, we can skip some of the proposed ones.
- Professional vs. volunteer based NukeNews
- dissemination of the experiment of the last years
- how to continue?
- general discussion of the question of paid NukeNews commitment (as an update of the decision made in the last MiniCamp some years ago)
- Challenging translations (depending on different national perception of highly disputed topics)
- we had the case at least one time in the NukeNews (connected to the Ukraine war) -> translation of a phrasing had to be changed to fit for one language edition
- it should be discussed how to deal with similar situations in future (national perceptions vs. common interpretations)
- maybe we can find a good proposal for future challenges?
- Unified dictionary of expressions for NukeNews
- due to a comment of one English proofreader on the example of the usage of terms like "reactor", "unit" and "block" - it could be interesting to define certain terms we want to use in the NukeNews commonly for certain expressions
- Extension of NukeNews editions
- new languages? (ideas, proposals, opportunities for implementation)
- Stabilizing / re-establishing NukeNews editions
- stabilizing existing language editions which so far don't have enough supporters
- possibly starting LT and FIN edition again?
- subscribable e-mail newsletter versions of PL and CRO editions?
- Improvement of NukeNews
- more ideas to improve the NukeNews?
- translating older editions into existing language versions if capacities available?
- NukeNews supporters could use individual Wiki accounts to make the work with the newsletter better
- improvement of the NukeNews webpage?
- Spreading the NukeNews further
- how could the distribution of NukeNews be improved?
- Timetable NukeNews 2017
- setting up a timetable for 2017 editions
- challenge: meeting deadlines - how to improve?
- Additional usage of NukeNews
- e.g. use translated articles or complete language editions for publication in other media
- could increase motivation to produce and use NukeNews news
- Next NukeNews MiniCamp
- proposals for 2017 NukeNews working meeting
Besides, maybe as (11), we want to utilize the camp to get to know each other (better)! :)
