Participating in DroneCamp

Registration

If you are interested in participating in DroneCamp but have not yet registered, registration info can found at http://ucanr.edu/dronecamp.

Getting the Zoom Links

DroneCamp will use several Zoom links. With a couple of exceptions, all sessions are limited to registered participants only. A Zoom account is not needed.

Individualized Zoom connection links will be sent to you in a confirmation email(s). When you get a Zoom confirmation email, please save it! The connection link is unique to you, and you’ll need it to join the session(s). The confirmation email will also have links you can use to add the session to your Google Calendar, Yahoo, or Outlook.

A small number of sessions may be open to all. These will be flagged accordingly in the Online Program.

DroneCamp Email List

All DroneCamp participants and instructors have been added to a moderated email list. The primary purpose of the DroneCamp email list is to share information and updates about DroneCamp. Participants are also welcome to use the list to share information, news, and questions related to drone mapping with fellow DroneCampers. The list is moderated and all messages must be approved by an administrator before they go out. The list will be shut down by the end of 2020 or whenever it becomes inactive.

Community Forum

In addition to the Zoom Chat window, everyone is invited to utilize the DroneCamp Community Forum to share information, notes, questions, links, tips and other resources related to drone mapping.

The Community Forum is a Google Doc that anyone with the link can add comments to or make edits in Suggesting mode. After your first edit, an Administrator will make you an editor so you edit the document directly after that.

Being Safe & Principles of Community

Virtual courses like DroneCamp remove many of the geographic barriers for participation, but they also involve new ways of interaction. Just like in-person events, we ask all participants to practice the following general guidelines for community.

Mutual Respect
Everyone is welcome regardless of their background or skill level. Please treat each other and all instructors with mutual respect. People learn with different styles and at different paces; instrucors will do their best to accommodate everyone.

Sharing Personal Information
Be cautious about sharing any personal information in chat sessions, Q&A sessions, and the Community Forum. Anything you share online could in theory be saved and shared with others. Chat history is also captured in session recordings.

Reporting Inappropriate Content and Behavior
If you’re concerned about chat messages or any other kind of inappropriate behavior, first send a private chat message to the session facilitator (host). You may also share concerns by sending a message to dronecamp@ucanr.edu.
