Omni is telling us we need to delegate a "Bored Member"

  • Volunteers? Nominations?

Not really a board member Sarah nominates herself to go the meeting


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?
