Open Threads and Scheduling
Submitted by martianexpatriate on Mon, 08/08/2016 - 7:58am
It's my understanding that an open thread is an article which is inviting people to talk about anything the feel like in the comments, and the general idea is to encourage a feeling of community. I'm not sure exactly where I read that, but that's the assumption I'm going on so far.
Has anyone attempted to work out any sort of schedule, where a certain person would post an open article on a certain day? I'm getting ready to post articles more often, and I could take a certain day of the week to publish open articles, either in the morning or evening.
If I'm stepping on any toes by asking this here please let me know. I wasn't sure who I should ask.

Don't know for sure, but if it isn't, it should be.
Quite a few of the fancy-looking diaries say they are open threads so maybe that where they are. Good point.

We started with EB every afternoon except weekends, and volunteers took 1 day a week in the AM. Evolution happened and others evolved. If you put open tread in your tags, your post will pin to the top right column. Pinning is reserved for OTs, fund raisers, and other essays of note. If I'm an open thread contributor, it doesn't mean everything I write is automatically pinned. you need to talk to Johnny in this diary or the contact link. He and Joe are admin

There is an open thread...
all seven days of the week that is scheduled to post by 9:00 AM eastern time every morning. We've published those open threads since the inception of this site a year and a half ago.
There is also joe shikspack's The Evening Blues that is published every weekday afternoon, Monday through Friday, that is a news aggregation and also an open thread. The Evening Blues has also ran since the inception of this site.
You'll find these scheduled open threads and various other OTs listed in the "Open Thread" menu in the right sidebar.
You may post whatever you want in any of the morning scheduled OTs and also in joe's Evening Blues in the afternoon/evening.
Thanks!

are you volunteering to do one of the scheduled open threads because there may be an opening coming up if you're interested.
If anyone else is interested in doing a scheduled open thread let me know. You would need to publish an open thread once every week.
Sure
I could do something every week. Let me know if they want someone.
