Cooperative Task List
For the past four weeks, Chris Hofstader has led the organization of the still unnamed cooperative of print impaired technologists. Chris has a lot of time available to him these days so it isn’t an undue burden on him but, as this is a cooperative, it is essential that we work as a group and not rely so much on a single individual. Also, Chris’ strongest skill is team building, something this group has done quite impressively so far but, as we move forward, we’ll be entering areas in which he is far less skilled and it will soon become very important for us to find additional organizational skills within the group.
This page will contain tasks with attached assignments. Assignments will change over time and some will be assigned to “team” as they are activities everyone needs to help out with.
Task: Cooperative Business Structure
Assigned to: Susan
Status: Current
Due Date: Uncertain
Susan will develop a business structure proposal for the entire team to review. Susan is the only person we have with legal and administrative skills necessary to perform this task.
Cooperative Business Plan
Assigned to: Chris Hofstader, Mike Calvo, Team
Status: Current
Due Date: Uncertain
Like any other business, we need a business plan. Chris and Mike will take a crack at a first draft. When this has been published for the rest of the team, they will be expected to help Chris and Mike make refinements until we have something we all like.
Cooperative Contact List
Assigned to: Team
Status: Current
Due Date: Uncertain
We will add a page to the temporary site in which all members can add contact information for anyone we think may be able to help the cooperative in the future. This should include potential members, corporate partnerships, potential clients and anyone else whom we should send spam of some sort telling them of what we’re doing. This will be a public list with which we will not share secrets so the more people we can put on the list the better.
Maintaining Cooperative Documents
Assigned to: Chris
Status: Current
Due Date: Open
Chris will maintain the documents but it is the responsibility of the entire team to add comments and questions to the pages so the ideas can be captured and incorporated ingot he documents.
The only thing here: surely, surely there’s a better way than a page of contact info to actually manage sending out announcement spam or whatever you want to call it…surely. There’s got to be something like mailgun for this kind of thing. I’ll see if I can turn something up, unless someone beats me to it.
