Hive Orientation | October 2021

As you know, we have been doing a monthly Hive orientation here in Cebu, Philippines! And yesterday October 02, 2021, we had a two-hour session together with Hive account@intoy.bugoy's invites (which I also knew from the company I used to work from) and a new addition to our group Hive account@jannuslim!

We initially decided to hold the orientation in Workplace Café just as we did in our previous session because of the free use of a projector and free coffee! However, the conference room was booked by other people so we had to move our meet-up at Café Berry in City Times Square.

Café Berry was still an ideal place to hold a mini gathering. The place was neat and spacious with only a few customers around. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of internet connection. We were still able to present using my laptop and data connection from Hive account@intoy.bugoy.

This was not the first time I've been to this café. I was actually anticipating eating their Bibimbap rice meal however it wasn't available that night. We ended ordering some Kimchi rice meal, Korean noodles, and coffee latte! While waiting for our food and drinks to be ready, we officially started our orientation by 6:00 pm.

We always start with self-introductions to get acquainted with the old, new, and future Hivers! This was followed by showing the Hive Information Video as our entry point to the world of Hive for our guests. Hive account@glecerioberto proceeded with providing a detailed discussion about the basics in Hive. Hive account@ybanezkim26 also gave some informative key points, terminologies and how upvoting works. I presented how to navigate the Hive account@peakd interface and Hive account@glecerioberto finished it off with how to write their first blog.

Seems like we always need to wrap things up after two hours since we were informed by one of the café staff that they were closing soon. Overall, this session was short, direct to the point, and interactive. As for our guests, they were able to grasp the whole concept and are looking forward to joining Hive soon.

We will be holding another Hive orientation for those from Cebu (for now) but this time we will be having it virtually! More details to come soon. See you at our next Hive Orientation!
