General Organizational Discussion

All organizational discussion goes here. This includes topics to be discussed at organizational assemblies, issues with agendas, questions about meeting times and locations, etc. Moderators could use this as a source of agenda topics.
 

Task list

We recently discussed the possibility of a task list. It was decided that these tasks would be designated as they arose at organizational assemblies. However, there are a number of tasks that have been monopolized since the formation of the Free School (mostly by my ass), and I’d like to see them spread out a little more. Feel free to add to this list.

  1. Managing the email account (currently: me) — I would suggest that anyone taking on this task know a little about gmail. The account is poorly organized at the moment because of my limited experience with the gmail format. I’d like to see the formation of two separate contact lists: decision-making members and general members. That way, we don’t clutter the inboxes of folks with only limited interest in organizational crap. I’d also like to see some of the older emails archived/deleted. (Taken over by Angie)
  2. Managing the Crabgrass site (currently: me) — I don’t mind doing this, but if anyone else wants to either take over/share duties, I’ll gladly step aside/share. Editing the Wiki each week is, honestly, a pain in the ass. If anyone wants to lend a hand, let me know.
  3. Managing the phone tree. (Taken over by Elise)

Frankly, these tasks were all proposed before we agreed to have a task list, and in the absence of other volunteers, I took them on myself. I’d like to see the workload distributed a little more democratically. If you’re interested in taking any of these over, give me a heads up.

 
 

I can do the phone tree unless someone else wants to volunteer. Wanna send me the current list???

 
 

Sure. I just sent you the raw list as a message through crabgrass. Feel free to save that and edit it in whatever format you’d like. We’ll need additional copies of that from time to time (as it’s updated), so let me know if you need to have copies printed.

 
 

Theme Month: Street Art

We need to start seriously discussing our theme month (street art) that we planned for July. I’d like to see the details hammered out this Wednesday if everyone is willing.

EDIT: Theme month has been pushed back indefinitely due to our current workload.

 
 

I would be happy to take on a task! Either crabby or gmail. I think I know gmail better, but I am willing to do either.

 
   

If you know gmail, then I’d really appreciate it if you could take it. I still don’t get it. Too many bells and whistles :[

It’s in rough shape right now. I started with some sort of organizing philosophy and then basically chucked it when the emails started rolling in faster than I could process them. Even though we have a bit of a lull right now (since it’s summer), I don’t even know where to begin in making that account manageable.

Thanks!!!
