Spring 2022 Kickoff Meeting (2022-05-02)

Meeting Dates/Times for the Term:

Questions:

Any opposition to moving the mech meetings from Saturday to Monday (for the time being)?

Is there a need to have Mech Check-in every week?

  • Can we host a Bi-weekly/monthly instead?

  • Can we more effectively use our tools (slack, confluence, Jira) to provide updates to the team (weekly newsletter)?

Saturday:

Mech Leads: 9:30am-10:00am

Mech 101: 10am-11am

Working session: 11:00am - 12:00noon

Mech Check in “During Lunch”: 12:00noon-1:00pm

Working session: 1:00pm~

S22 Mech Purchase List

Purchase list for the vehicle as a whole.

S22 Onboarding

Confluence has become an incredible database for recordings and knowledge shares that go untouched afterwards, if we can create an effective list to get any user quickly and efficiently onboarded they can be immediately given a task to start making meaningful contributions to the team while learning and developing their own skills.

Training Hub

I want to have core members become DRI’s for running onboarding to new members. Their responsibilities this term would be answering questions new members may have, troubleshooting issues with software (what/how to download), and directing them to the required confluence resources that have been created already.

To Do:

  • Select 1/2 Members to Run Onboarding

    • Aidan D

    • Jasmine

    • Shangeethan

    • Jeyoung

  • Ensure “Training Hub” is detailed enough to give a new member a good enough start

    • It can later be developed into a more formal database for subteam specific activities etc.
