Work Expectations for DPVs
Dedicated Project Visitors are expected to follow these guidelines:
- To commit to and follow a work plan. The DPV Participation Offer is not a formality. It is an expectation.
- If work plan is not being followed, it should be renegotiated. It is the DPV's responsibility to renegotiate it because our evaluation is based on a documented work plan.
- You will be evaluated primarily on your results, not your efforts. We value efficiency and optimization. We want you to have time for other things outside of work.
- We owe our success to our supporters and we owe it to the world. When you arrive at FeF, you are accepting this responsibility.
- As a general practice, Fabrication Instructions will be drawn up prior to any build in order to save time in the actual build. If the DPV is capable or if someone is available to assist - a Fabrication Procedure will be drawn up prior to a build. If resources don't allow a fabrication procedure to be drawn up beforehand, it may be omitted in special cases only.
- Documentation Day shall consist of writing down fabrication procedures, parts diagrams, part explosions, assembly animations, BOMs, info graphics, blogs, and other supporting information that moves the project forward.
- The Wiki is used for organizational purposes. There are a few well-maintained pages. Most pages are in the open wilds, and the wiki changes dynamically. The formal documentation for the project is at opensourceecology.dozuki.com. Please do not even begin thinking that you will 'organize the wiki once and for all.'
