Oversight Checklist
Beginning of Shift
- Prioritize tasks based on current stock, store and build needs.
- Direct volunteers to prioritized tasks.
- Hard Drives - swap tested drives, load drives to be wiped.
- Memory - swap tested memory, load memory to be tested. (if no volunteers are available to do it)
- Wall Warts Sorting - get wall warts box from receiving.
- Sorting lock box incoming in tardis into appropriate boxs.
- Sort wireless mice and keyboards into boxes by brand.
End of Shift
- Ask volunteers to clean up their areas.
End of Day
- Lock up all hard drives and testing equipment.
- Set up drives to test over night, but not on the weekend.
- Turning off all unused computers and LCD monitors.
Volunteer Inventory
- Don't forget to say hello to everyone and introduce yourself to new folks.
- Which volunteers are present during your shift? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do they want to learn something new?
- Appropriately engage each volunteer in an appropriate task, trying to get all tasks covered.
- Thank volunteers for their work as they leave.
- If volunteer involvement is low in your shift, ask a build instructor to refer or direct appropriate volunteers to your area.
Hard Drive Testing
- Pull and label all tested hard drives. Recycle the failed ones.
- Stock all the machines.
- Repair failed machines as necessary.
- REPORT PROBLEMS WITH MACHINES WHEN THEY HAPPEN (either to those with the know-how to fix 'em or on the AT mailing list)
Sort Incoming Network Stuff
- Match up wall warts with incoming network gizmos.
- Sort incoming wall warts.
- If a particular sorted wall wart container is overflowing, cull the off-brand wall warts (use your judgment).
Task Status
- Is a particular, overflowing task not being covered by a volunteer?
Hard Drive Testing is SUPER IMPORTANT. Your goal is to keep TARDIS as free of unwiped hard drives as you can.
