January 2018

Game Plan

• Hold seminars for skill acquisition outside of meetings so people can use these skills to contribute during meetings

  • Hack Michiana Seminar Series

  • Pilot session on AWS: Saturday, January 20th from 11 - 2 @ 101c3

  • Other subjects: Git/Github, Python, Bootstrap

• Work on smaller scale projects and focus on creating deliverables

  • A previous issue we've had is not determining when things are declared "done"

  • These smaller scale projects can even involve simple data analytics projects using the Open Data Portal

• Figure out the "passing of the torch"

  • What are the financial commitments to Hack Michiana? what is the cost?

  • Pass on social media accounts to active members so they can be updated on a regular basis.

• Recruitment

  • Hold off on serious recruitment until the core members share a common "knowledge base" to help out new members

  • Have some kind of "badge" members can use in terms of things they can put on resumes

    • Successful projects, certifications, etc...

  • Reach out to IUSB students - not just CS/Info, but PolySci, Nursing, humanities, social sciences...

    • Ask faculty members to assign extra credit for participating?
