| + | set terminal jpeg |
| − | Free Geek needs an Optimization and Priorities group to perform three basic functions:
| + | set output 'BGoriAPPWT' |
| − | ; Discuss what we're already doing and how we can do it better
| + | set notitle |
| − | : This is currently done on an ad hoc basis by groups like the Providence planning committee, but it is not done in an ongoing and organized fashion.
| + | set ylabel '' |
| − | ; Compare proposals for expansion
| + | set xlabel '' |
| − | : We have a tool in the [[Program Planning Guidelines]] that help us formally define what we might want to do. However, when the community council sets priorities, it is often forced (by deadlines) to grant or deny a project on its own merits alone, not taking into account other possible projects. The Optimization and Priorities group would maintain a [[General Priorities]] document that is constantly being modified. This would be reviewed by the community council, ensuring that it is informed and able to discuss and easily compare Free Geek's options for expansion.
| + | set timefmt "%m/%d/%y" |
| − | ; Help people turn their ideas into reality
| + | #set xdata time |
| − | : It can be confusing to a volunteer or staff member how decisions become reality. The flow chart below describes a way in which good quality, organization wide ideas could be put into action at Free Geek.

| − | This is mostly for expansion. Things that we aren't doing yet, but might want to start doing.

| − | == Optimization ==
| |
| − | The optimization function is to look at the big picture and figure out ways we might be able to do stuff better. This could be performed by an open committee that reports to the community council.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Priorities ==
| |
| − | The priorities function is to review program planning sheets and compare them. We maintain a [[General Priorities]] document on the wiki that would be reviewed, ammended, and approved (or not) by the community council.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Budget ==
| |
| − | Budget planning is done by the bookkeeper and the treasurer, plus anyone else obvious. We organize and propose budget amendments to the board of directors.
