Difference between revisions of "Overview Time Line"

Revision as of 10:41, 4 February 2009

This time line was started as a brain storm at the July 1, 2008 Priorities meeting. [1]

Remove Store internship -- Done in 2008
Add a second Store Coordinator -- Done in 2008
Redistribute hours creating better staff coverage in receiving. (AKA responsible receiving) -- Done in 2008

Phases we'll start this year:
- Holiday Store hours {Thanksgiving - Jan 2009} -- Postponed in 2008: until production catches up with demand
- Solidify more corporate donations {start - Jan 1 2009} -- Changed to "Actively recruit more corporate contracts" (but more corporate pickups are already happening)
- Outreach to schools {Thanksgiving - July 1 2009} -- ???

Digital TV conversion: Along with eWaste legislation will lead to more TVs received; Could happen in February. May be postponed a few months

The Weirdness: So many variables and unknowns it will be difficult to make predictions. This was anticipated to start around Jan 1 and end three to six months later. It actually came early, due to the economic meltdown and seems to have ended by February 1, 2009. The one big unknown is when the economy will normalize.

Phases we'll start this year:
- Recruit more volunteers as needed and of whatever kinds needed {until the end of time}
- Capital campaign for building {starts after economic normalization, or a solid big corporate sponsor, or eviction and lasts until we move in to new building}
- Actively solicit more corporate contracts {Jan 1, 2008 - end of year (or ongoing)}

Establish Free Geek Intergalactic, Inc.: Create a legal entity to manage Free Geek startups and trademark enforcement issues. This entity would evenutally be controlled by multiple Free Geeks, not just ourselves.; Potentially do this in the fall.
