Preparation

The focus of this stage is the preparation of the community’s project.
It includes the formation of a leadership team, the establishment of specific objectives to achieve the community’s vision, and the planning of specific actions to achieve the objectives (anticipating the effort required and expected outcomes/benefits). It is also the time to explore different options for technologies and for a business plan, research funding options for your project, and start reaching out to the wider community to get feedback and start soft recruitment for your project once established.
