-{{ Task | name = Organizing | unit = years | category = Organizing }}
-This is a meta-task-- a page devoted to ideas about mobilizing volunteers and organizing opportunities.
-=== Clarify current volunteer roles/opportunities/processes ===
-* Syndicate intern opportunities in one space on wiki
-* ...and from various countries and organizations.
-* Help redirect orgal interest away from donating funds and towards hosting and mentoring interns.
-*: (Which requires info on how they might mentor said intern, and what s/he might do).
-* Beginning some thoughts on an [[Internships]] program. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 14:02, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
-* Merge OPLCwiki volunteer pages, which are:
-*: ?
-*[[Volunteer process]]
-=== Online “welcome wagon" packet... what would this include? ===
-*Basic checklist for getting started
-*Model/templates for creating a local wiki, blog, & photojournal (see below).
-*Links to (or pdfs of) some of the crucial OLPCwiki pages
-*: [[OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines]]
-*: ?
-*"Official" OLPC documentary
-*:From OLPC-open:
- What I'm looking for is a fairly systematic presentation of the XO computer and how it is being used.
- There are some basic pieces of information that I want to see, in addition to the scenes of children
- demonstrating various activities.
- These include:
- * What kind of Internet connection does the school have?
-   How fast?
-   What does it cost?
- * When the children take the XO computers home, does the mesh network really keep them connected to
-   the Internet?
-  At what distances,
-  and what speeds?
- * If hundreds of XOs are distributed at a school, do icons for all of them appear on the screen in
-   Neighborhood view?
- * Which icons will appear in Neighborhood view in an urban area that might have several schools?
- * Which icons appear in Friends view?
-   How does the user control this?
- * Does the school or teacher have to agree to apply the Constructivist approach to education before
-   they get XO computers for their students?
-=== OLPC blog & photojournal ===
-Ideally, this would document our own organizing/development process, and could be a model for others.
-*Templates for creating OLPC user "homepage" (currently wikipage) w/ instructions on how to set up a free blog (blogger/wordpress) etc.
-*Who is everyone, and what are they working on
-*Have users take pix w/ XO
-*3D tour of XO
-*Anecdotal users like the "Poster Child"
-=== How to document pilot programs ([[:Category:Pilot site]]) ===
-{{Schools-nav}}
-Globally...
-* Aggregate existing self-documentation, including:
-*: Uruguay (blog): [http://olpc-ceibal.blogspot.com http://olpc-ceibal.blogspot.com]
-*: Brazil (YouTube): [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lecufrgs http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lecufrgs]
-*: Thailand (on wiki): [[Thailand/trial-200705]]
-* Some sort of [[OurStories]] project?
-* [[XO map]]
-Locally...
-* Photos
-* Stories/anecdotes
-* Examples of use
-* Profiles of kids and their laptops (maybe via the OurStories project)
-* Screenshot app-- develop + have kids take a screenshot of their laptop in its favorite use/config
-* Questions for [[self documentation]]
-=== Roles and Teams ===
-Define and document...
-* Install Team
-** Instructions on getting the emulator installed
-** A core team of people that help others to install the emulator
-*** [[IRC]] Channel, Private chat on AIM, whatever it takes.
-* Facilitators
-** Direct volunteers toward projects they might be interested in by making themselves available for private chat or in a group chat. Someone comes in and says, hey I want to help, these are my skills. A director can help direct them where to go.
-** Facilitators are most likely people who just lurk all the time on [[IRC]] or something along those lines.
-* Candy Stripers
-** coating community members and their computers in fine layers of Sugar... until the emulators are ''really good''.
-** helping launch locos
-=== Todo List for Vols ===
-* Todo list should have difficulty levels, like the art of computer programming. E.g., If you know Python then a problem is a:
-** 10 if you could do debug/fix/add feature in a couple minutes,
-** 17 if you could do it in one sitting, but it may take a few hours,
-** 20, means you could do it in a few days
-** 29, means you could do it in a couple weeks with a lot of creativity.
-** 30, maybe a couple weeks to a couple of months, but it's hard.
-** 34, maybe a couple of months with a lot of creativity and innovation
-** 40, Maybe a couple of years
-** 50, you may be lucky to knock the problem into the 40s in a couple years.
-** 51, first find a new base and reduce to a previous problem
-*Todo list should indicate the urgency of the item for the project.
-*... and the necessity of the item to the project.
-*Should maybe be sorted by skill and subject?
-*One possible model is the [http://www.mysociety.org/volunteertasks mysociety volunteer list]. Might be people worth talking to.
-*Another is a bugtracker (or more user-friendly version thereof). Should we use the current OLPC bugtracker for these tasks as well?
-* a variant of [https://www.bountysource.com/ Bountysource] adapted for things that aren't code, for short term projects not on the cycle
