Spc Mgmt

There's a need for better tools to manage your highly successful hackerspace. Here are some free ideas. Get in touch if you end up building one of these!

Unsolved

• Pledge drive automation (it's possible to use Semantic MediaWiki and Wiki forms for this, see pledge drives at Technologia Incognita for an example)
• Registration and announcements for training sessions
• Component ordering tool. E.g. a simple tool for re-ordering things we want to keep on stock (see consumables), a collaborative components shopping list for larger projects, a tool to group purchases of individuals to reduce shipping cost, etc.

In Progress

• Member decision-making tools: discourse and consensus testing (lots of people are working on such software atm, and there's our own OneClickOrgs. See also: [1])
• Tool access control linked to member accounts

Done

• (Is anything ever done?)

Trustee Induction

Things to go over with new trustees.

• Set up IRC with bouncer, add to directors channel
• Add to trustees@ email
• Share Dropbox
• Create OCO account
• Add their keys to the passwords file
• Have them read the Rules, the Grievance_Procedure, and at least skim the constitution
• Review current issues: member warnings, recent/current mediation efforts
• Let them participate in a few day-to-day tasks (e.g. member disputes)
• Add them to the mailing list moderators list (if desired)
• Add them to the uk-hackspace-organiser-comms list
