Task Update

Tues May 7, 2013

Task Update

  • Updated Master Schedule
  • Developing a list: DPV/Intern Prep -- Needs List for DPVs. What do we need to buy before their arrival, what should we tell them to bring?
  • Developing 2013 DPV / Intern Tracker to track task completion of DPV/Internship Process

  • Need to create an OSE "parking lot" process to "park" ideas and roll them into the schedule
  • Pulling potential contributors' contact info from Team Culturing list; received event announcement from Marcin for '6 in 60' campaign

Mon May 6, 2013

Task Update:

  • Attempted to load Gantt chart to wiki; its opening with errors
  • Worked OSE Jam team matrix and reviewed schedule with Marcin; decided to build schedule based upon modules first, then build an integration point into the schedule
  • Mapped out 20 modules (with Marcin) to be created for the Sweet 6 Sprint; discussed time/formats of sprints--possible expansion of sprints to 3 time zones in the future with facilitators in each time zone

Sun May 5, 2013

Task Update:

  • Showed my mom (who is not tech savvy) how to use Sketchup; she's volunteered to watch the tutorial, perform the cube test, and report the results

Fri May 3, 2013

Task Update:

However, my computer is not downloading the program--unknown reason. Reviewed security settings--gtg. Will attempt in another browser. After clearing space in my download file, I was able to install the required software. Success! However, am putting 3D printing on hold to focus on setting up DPVs for the summer.

  • Need to establish DPV processes:
    • Survey
    • Wiki log creation & video of interest
    • DPV link -- update FAQs, other info
    • Develop comm protocols: interview, notification, announcement/blog spot, send "welcome" info: community standards, shop safety guidelines, what to bring, about FeF/Maysville, etc...other? Work with Gary to establish objectives/goals for visit--align with OSE Master Schedule; ID resources needed to support DPV ($, manpower, facilities, tools/equipment).
  • Launched Sweet 6 Survey, if approved, would like to send out to past volunteers and post to our "events" section on our website.
  • Met with Gary. Discussed: facility issues requiring immediate, short term and mid-term attention. Discussed advertising ideas for upcoming campaign/recruitment protocols, screening processes, DPV pages, and pre-boarding of interns/DPVs. Also, need to include website organization/efficiency modeling in the Master Schedule.
  • Developing DPV survey & editing requirements for the DPV page. Will have this done this weekend, as well as some other products to send to DPVs and edits to the info submitted by DPVs. Made initial contact with 3 potential DPVs this summer. Note: would be nice to have a video about DPVs! 30 sec-1 min "commercial" shot--what it is, what you can do, how to apply. Also believe we should link DPV info under "Events" on the Main Page--or find a better place???
  • Posted link to Sweet 6 Campaign survey in the Control Panel for the Microtrac page - OSHW-OSE-Microtractor-v2

Thurs May 2, 2013

Task Update:

  • Organized/cleaned office at FeF; created a space for the 3D printer. Put together the 3D printer. Encountered issues with www.LulzBot.com download procedures. Calling tech support to resolve--drivers not found, no GUI? Really need to consider a LAN line or VOIP line at FeF...can't get a signal while plugged into 3D printer.
  • Recommending GanttProject for use as scheduling tool. It allows users to: 1) Create WBS, draw dependencies, define milestones; 2) Resource load the schedule; 3) Develop PERT charts, 4) Export as PNG, PDF, or HTML. 5) Import/export from MS Project, 6) Share via WebDAV, 7) Is open source & free. (This page needs work--am learning how to embed video, etc).
  • Developing notional Master Schedule.
  • Testing Jam Team Survey functionality.
  • Received DPV info from Marcin, will begin screening process Fri, 3 May.
  • Began making changes to Audrey Control Sandbox. Ideas: 1) Develop 30 sec video advertising upcoming Product Drive (call it the Live Free Campaign?)--include what we are doing, key events timeline, who we need, logistics (web conferencing, prototype builds, etc); 2) Develop 30 sec video advertising DPVs; then develop 2-4 min video showing FeF, DPV FAQs, highlights, etc?

Wed May 1, 2013

Task Update:

  • Met with Gary to discuss: Jam Team Design (preliminary), questionnaire, dedicated project visit info & master schedule.
  • Began outlining a notional master schedule.
  • Updated "Google Survey" project to include how to change the order of questions and make certain questions mandatory.
  • Tested multiple Gantt chart programs for schedule development.

Tue Apr 30, 2013

(1) Take Team Culturing Survey and do the Recruiting Survey to begin generating a database. (2) Draft an invitation for a Design Sprint - May 10-11 (3) Download Ubuntu as a dual boot system. Follow directions from Gary - Gary_Log#Tuesday_April_16_2013 - download 12.04 LTS (Long Term Support). (4) Start emailing people to begin generating Database of Contributorials. (5) Do Matrix of roles for OSE Development Events - put it up at Creating OSE Jam Team Design. (6) Check out Dedicated Project Visit. (7) Scheduling software -Gantt_Chart_Template_for_OpenOffice_Calc. Check Osalt. (8) For 3D printing - begin printing 1/2" square tubing equivalent of 4x4" tubing with " holes every 4". Google Sketchup has a plugin for STL files - Sketchup Conversion to STL

Task Update:

  • Continued working on the questionnaire in the morning, then met up with Gary and Elliot and spent the remaining day at FeF helping Gary in the shop. Lots of progress has been made since I first saw it--let the organizing begin!
  • I opened the 3D printer and read through the instructions--realized I will likely need more than 1 hour--will return to FeF Thurs morning (2 May) to knock out this project.
  • Made some additional notes wrt "How to Create a Google Survey" process and will update on Wed, 1 May.
  • Rough outlined a Master Schedule, researched open source Gantt chart programs.

See the OSE Jam which talks about the people required. Put up your Graphic at OSE Jam Team Design. (4) Document how to build a Google Form at How to Create a Google Survey. Design a Google Form for Team Recruiting Form - specifically for 4th of July Campaign of the Sweet 6 - or 6 prototypes designed and built by July. Planning for an agile Sprint - which a Hackathon where everyone works together on a common goal. Put up your resulting Google Form up at the Control Panel for the Microtrac page - OSHW-OSE-Microtractor-v2.

See also the LifeTrac Construction Set Script.
