Lets talk about Protocol
Liz has some idears:
- about project documentation & scheduling and keeping projects organized
- Been using that white binder a bit, but perhaps there is a better way. Individual folders for each project?
Basic forms for collecting contact info and resources for the project
- about equipment rentals
- We have some forms to test drive. There is a blue bunny faced file monster under the kettle area. All blank forms can be kept in here
- Fill out a form, stick it on the clipboard on the cork board so it's visible to others. Give Liz feedback on the usefulness of the form, she can make adjustments. Inventory here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZQDHb6p711NrlDcvoWED7ZapWAdKyBbvUC1HZzQFbmY/edit#gid=1652529138
- Liz will make a calendar where equipment availability can be easily visualized; mark off days on the calendar when you are taking out equipment
- Liz will make another form for gear inspection. She recommends that a non-project-affiliated OpAl member be present to check equipment in and out and inspect it before leaving/upon return
- about locking up the suite for the night
- Sign out of all email + social media accounts
- Save work, close programs
- Shut down the computer or not, but at least disconnect and shut off external hard drives when not in use
- Clean up any dishes or mess that was made
- lists of weekly responsibilities
- trash :P
- this pad; it's all gunked up
- Keeping batteries charged
Does anyone else have any idears?
