Operations

Ongoing actions with pretty regular periodicity.

Regular (weekly+)

  • take notes in the etherpad (during mtgs and such)
  • announce/reminders for meetings, agendas
  • invite speakers for soft blocks / planning, scheduling workshop sessions (new, but still)
  • communications: blogpost, social media

Quarterly or so

  • send around the scheduling poll each quarter
  • organize retreats (virtual and non)
  • plan social events

Maintenance

More focused on infrastructure and tools. Less regular/predictable intervals. Sometimes mission-critical!

  • Wiki Gardening
  • Software Updating
  • Sysadmin/app-admin work related to research / collaboration infrastructure+tools (wiki, email lists, calendar, git, hyak, kibo, web servers/sites)
  • Financial administration (reimbursements, payroll/hiring, travel, etc.)

Group Nurturing

People-focused, mostly less-frequent (quarterly-or-so).

  • train people on systems & tools (hyak/overleaf/R/etc.)
  • newcomer orientations, recruitment, hiring
  • organize feedback sessions for RAs
  • outreach to adjacent communities, individuals who should come hang out!
