Onboarding Checklist

Alan McConchie edited this page Jul 25, 2016 · 6 revisions

There are lots of steps to onboarding a new chapter. Here's what needs to happen:

When someone fills out the new chapter form a new issue appears here and in the #github channel on Slack. Then we do these things:

Essential tasks:

  • Send emails in response to new chapter inquiries that come to [email protected]. Say hi! And tell them to fill out the new chapter form!
  • Add organizers to Slack (currently Alan does this, needs help)
  • Add organizers to Github organization (currently Rafa and Brandon do this, but they need help)
  • Create GitHub repo for new chapter (https://github.com/maptime/maptime-admin/blob/master/onboarding.sh)
  • Add new chapter Twitter account to MaptimeHQ twitter list (currently Alan does this)
  • Follow new chapter Twitter account from MaptimeHQ (currently Alan does this)
  • Add chapter twitter integration to Slack #socialmedia channel (we haven't been keeping this up to date)
  • Help new chapters who get stuck making chapter repos/websites
  • Keep onboarding documentation current (this document!)

Things we used to do, but don't do anymore:

These are bonus things that would be nice to do if we can, but usually we don't do:

  • Do a periodic check-in with chapter to see what they need
  • Aggregate results from post-event survey
  • Help chapters organize regional Maptime meetups
  • Add new leads and chapters to Maptime Chapter Google spreadsheet
  • Provide guidance for chapters on finding a meeting space
  • Create @maptime.io email address for new chapters (Beth controls this?)
