A Practical Guide to Planning and Scheduling your Next Exodus

The Google+ sunset was announced 8 October 2018, and will take effect in August 2019, though a precise date has not yet been set.

This is a timeline for planning which you may adapt to your needs.

Exodus Planning and Scheduling

As an initial approach, consider a four-phase process, on roughly the following schedule:

  • Oct 2018 - Dec 2018: Coordination, Planning, and assessment.
  • Jan 2019 - Apr 2019: Execution.
  • May 2019 - Jul 2019: Re-establishing community.
  • Aug 2019 - ∞: Assess and rebuild.

Groups, sizes, aims, goals, and capabilities vary greatly. We're looking to help everyone from small groups of friends to 100,000+ strong Google Communities, and between.

The schedule is a suggestion, not a requirement, though August 2019 is Google's final service date for public Google+ activity.

I’m #newhere and pondering what will replace #gplus for me. Interests currently include #3dprinting #opensource #linux #fedora #machining #ev #electricvehicle #electriccars #photography — Also I'm a lapsed #pilot still interested in aviation. I'm also @mcdanlj@mastodon.cloud and u/mcdanlj — I don't really know where I'll end up in the #gplusexodus yet.

I like not having an arbitrary 500-character limit, and markdown is a plus. But finding the signal in the noise is a bit of a challenge here right now. Maybe it's the current influx. Also, really will matter where people and communities I want to interact with end up.
