DMS To Do List

Each tab is for a committee (@Committee_Chairs) . Feel free to change the cell formatting for each committee. I’m just putting out a skeleton of what it could be. If we want to print this out and put it in the common area then WOOO! Whatever helps get things done.

If you are interested in how to make “Status Cells” check out this link: Make a “Status” Cell

May I have @Team_Moderators pin this to the top of the forum? Or is that a no-no?

sorry if you dont like the title, there’s this “15 characters” spazz out alert…

I like this idea. It will be nice to put what needs to be done, so it’s likely that others could help & know what they can help with.

What is the best way to show that you’re interested in helping with a particular task? Just add your name somewhere to this sheet? I’d love to help with any of the tasks that involve graphic design.

yes add your talk name underneath Personnel. I’ll and the committe’s chair name at the top of the list so you know who to contact if you have further questions.

I suggest someone starting a Public Trello for DMS. It offers the spread sheet plus tracking. I have one for hatcher’s already.

just finished looking it over. yeah it looks cool and great and if the members want it we should definitely get it done. should we present this at a regular member meeting?

It is free, so we don’t need funding. So I would say approval by membership not a big deal.

The more important thing is getting links out to the membership so they can participate.

Second important step is getting multiple admins so the trello has more than one owner. So if the original owner stops we don’t lose the board.

I can start the board and add whoever as admins.

Send me a pm and we can maybe get together and grrr this started. Documenting how to join it is important.

Machine Shop already has a list, hosted on the DMS wiki.

I don’t see the point of moving everything to Google Docs. It’s 1) not maintained by us, and 2) a giant personal-information-vacuum-cleaner service. Google ain’t free, folks, and some of us don’t like giving them any more data points than they already have.

Please stick to using our Wiki.

@Nick you know I’m down for the count.

yes i get it. i was thinking of a general place that all members can come to and volunteer 15 minutes of their time to do tasks for whatever committee. If the wiki is supposed to serve this purpose, then great! We should find a way to broadcast that more so people know where to go if they would like to volunteer.

my main thing is what is most effective in generating more volunteers.

Having a physical board at the 'Space would be another angle to get word out about things that need to get done. The virtual and physical could compliment each other. :slight_smile:

An ultra wide display could show the web view of Trello. The wider the display the better as trello builds things into stacks. On my wide screen I can show 9 stacks. We could also integrate touch screen if we wanted members to be able to pick activities and read further by selecting the items they are interested in.

Here is what the trello UI looks like.

You can add picture, assign tasks to members of the board. There are a lot of options for those interested.

I’ve tried Trello in the past and it’s nice. I’d be willing to throw the ca tasks anywhere in hopes they get completed somehow.

I like it. I have loads of time lately and wouldn’t mind being useful without stepping on toes.

May I suggest a color coded or numbered priority ranking to each task as added? (Oooh. With my readers on I can tell there might be something like that already. Or for categories maybe?)

@zmetzing would you be comfortable if we do emphasize the importance of our wiki pages and the information it holds? We could point volunteers to go to the wiki page to look for a to do list and if participating committees would like to use trello for their to do list the link would be on their wiki page.
