If there's no available team, then the only option is to have them create their own team.

This done by visiting http://p1oc.net/makeateam.

Read the article with them. 

🟧🟧🟧 Divide to different channels

🔸 Action: If multiple people are here for an introduction, ask which discipline they're interested in: game production, art, sound, design, marketing, or programming. Then, divide them into channels with available introduction volunteers based on their interests. Combine disciplines if necessary due to a lack of introduction volunteers.

🟧🟧🟧 Discover their goals

🔸 Say: Our goal at [P1] is to serve you in the best way possible. We are looking for the ideal project for you.

🔸 Say: But before we can find that project for you, we need to know what your goals are.

🔸 Say: Most come to us to build a portfolio. If that's your goal, explain what you think you need in your portfolio to advance. If not, other options include supporting our vision, building a network, and exploring game development. Which option, including the portfolio, aligns closest with your goals?

🔸 Action: Give them plenty of time to speak and show you're listening by rephrasing what they say back to them.

🔸 Have them go through this form live together with you: https://form.jotform.com/240684639708973 

🔸 Say: Once you're at slide four in that form, please share your screen. It will tell you how, but I'm here to help you in case you get lost or confused.

🔸 Help them through each step in the form. Make sure they share their screen. 

🟧🟧🟧 Get them on our main Discord's Help voice chat

🔸 Say: Now that you know the basics of what we do here, we need to get you onboarded to our main Discord before we can help you. Our main Discord was the most active voice chat for game developers in 2023 but it can be confusing to navigate.

🔸 Say: To start, you need to know where I'll be typing and where you can see the text as we move to the next Discord. First, there's a chat bubble linked to this voice channel. Look for it either right above the top person in this channel, where it says "introductions" with a phone icon, or on the top right, you'll see a chat bubble icon. Click on that bubble to open the text chat. https://i.imgur.com/ahVeSXd.png 

🔸 Action: Send them this link and ask them to click on it. https://discord.gg/9HD4K6aRU4

🔸 Say: Before we proceed, we need to set up your privacy on this new Discord. Click on the Discord title or the small down arrow next to it in the top left. Do you see it? Does it open a menu for you?

🔸 Say: One of our rules is that all communication about our project stays on our official Discords, not in private messages. This keeps everything centrally accessible, so no one has to search through private chats which limited to 10 people for information. Instead, we use private threads, which are more efficient. https://i.imgur.com/J68kRDZ.gif

🔸 Say: Do you know how to share your screen on Discord? I need to get you onboarded onto that Discord now and would love to help you hands-on. If you know how, go ahead and share your screen; if not, let's figure it out together now.

🔸 Action: Lead them through the Discord verification process, ensuring they click verify and gain access to all the channels. https://i.imgur.com/3jfhf9m.png 

🔸 Say: Let me start by putting your mind at ease. This is not a traditional interview. We are working toward becoming a non-profit dedicated to empowering people like you.

🔸 Say: Being People First is what we're all about, and we know that there's a whole host of organizations that say that, but we have worked to ensure that our incentive structure from the ground up puts people at the center of everything.

🟧🟧🟧 Explain what we do

Open source incubator + volunteer projects for non-profits. 

🔸 Say: There are several things we do here. We run an open source incubator where we don't take a stake in your creations. You pair up with people from around the world that we provide, you make awesome stuff that impacts humanity for the better—all of the games have to have a positive impact—and you build an amazing portfolio or test out your next idea.

🔸 Say: Before we give you a chance to ask questions, I would love to share a video on who we are.

Onboarding Context

Initial Contact

The overwhelming majority of people who join us do so because they're looking for work in the industry or they're looking for experience.

What they see is a LinkedIn job post that leads them to a message in which somebody will have reached out to them, asking them to be a part of our organization.

Beyond the Surface

However, what they don't know is that our organization is in part an open-source incubator and in part a volunteer project.

Onboarding Process

Onboarding Schedule

The actual process of onboarding: People who come to get onboarded are told to come at a specific time which you should get on your calendar. 

Your Role

Your job is to help them understand what our organization is about, talk to them about their needs, and then direct them to a list of options based on who's recruiting.

Onboarding Location

Two Channels

• When new people join us they are told to test their mic in the Help channel. When they do this, they are also assigned the "Seeking Introduction" role. This is a taggable role @Seeking Introduction.

• Before any Introduction Chat you should tag @Seeking Introduction in any text channel (#💬┃general-chat for example) to let people who might be interested know that 1-1 interviews are about to take place.
  • "@Seeking Introduction I am about to hold Introduction Chats in <#840306067786563654>. Join the channel now if you would like to learn about being placed on a project team." 
• A particular channel has been created to have Introduction Chats. This is the 🤫1-1 chat channel.

• Move people into the channel before doing an interview: 

• Make sure you have room in the channel for people to join: 

Capacity and Limitations

• Be aware that more than five can come in looking for an interview. 

Before an Introduction Chat for the first time. 

🔸 Read the above guide.

🔸 Test the 🚀 Activity feature of Discord: https://imgur.com/Sa73KKf

🔸 If you talk with the interviewee beforehand, ask them to come on PC, not mobile.

🔸 Be sure to type .iam reception in #off-topic ASAP. 

Onboarding Checklist

Unlike the usual checklists, this one is conversational, and so you should leave pauses so that it's a back-and-forth communication rather than just a monologue, even when those pauses are not specified.

🟧🟧🟧 Put them at ease

🔸 Say joyfully: Welcome to [P1], we are an organization dedicated to empowering people, thanks for joining us! 😊

🔸 Say: Let me start by putting your mind at ease. This is not a traditional interview. We are working toward becoming a non-profit dedicated to empowering people like you. Being People First is what we're all about, and we know that there's a whole host of organizations that say that, but we have worked to ensure that our incentive structure from the ground up puts people at the center of everything.

🟧🟧🟧 Explain what we do

🔸 Say: There are several things we do here. We run an open-source incubator where we don't take a stake in your creations. You pair up with people from around the world that we provide, you make awesome stuff that impacts humanity for the better—all of the games have to have a positive impact—and you build an amazing portfolio or test out your next idea.

🔸 Say: Before we give you a chance to ask questions, I would love to share a video on who we are.

🟧🟧🟧 Sharing the video

🔸  Start an activity

🔸  Select Youtube and put this URL in the URL bar: https://youtu.be/zhY1YNrquM8?si=j3gq08hpiDtIjg4k

🔸  Ask them to join the activity. 

🟧🟧🟧 Explain the volunteer position

🔸 Say: Among the many teams we have here, created by the community itself, we have one team that was started by our founder, Samuel, that's dedicated to researching how to connect people in virtual worlds with the intention of influencing the space for the better. It's a serious project that is looking for serious contributors as volunteers. Volunteering in that organization would be in an official capacity, unlike the rest, which is merely participating in an open-source community. Moreover, the fidelity of the project being created is higher, meaning that this project might be ideal for people who are already at a level where they can produce high-fidelity content like art and sound. However, the current project there take time to finish and require people who don't need a lot of hand-holding to understand professional cooperation on multi-functional teams. 

🔸 Say: As a matter of habit, we start everyone on a the open source incubator just to get them acclimatized to our values, culture, and the technical side of things. But if you have an interest in joining a sort of project like I just mentioned, you should let me know now and I will connect you our founder. 

I just want to take a moment to welcome you to [P1] as an organization. Our name means People First, and you'll hear lots of of companies that talk about being people-first, but there's something that makes us radically different. We've set up an incentive structure that puts people's needs at the center of everything. We believe that unless the incentive structures are set up right, a natural selection process will weed out those who follow mere values for those who follow the right incentives. So, from the ground up, this organization has been built to empower people. Here's how it works: everything we do is free, and what we do is paid for by sponsors. This means all we have to do is provide people tons of value, and lots more people will join us. That's it; that's how it works. We are working toward becoming a nonprofit in Canada dedicated to empowering the people here. We have two major sections: one of them is an educational incubator, and the other is a volunteer program where people work together to build technology and experiments which help push forward our vision of a more free virtual civilization. That's a big concept, but all you need to know is we build stuff, and that stuff goes on your portfolio, it helps you get professional experience, and it helps you build connections with friends and colleagues.
