@MasSamH I added a readme template to the resources section above

ExperimentsInHonesty commented 4 years ago

Hi @MasSamH while I was making the project card, I realized I better do the leadership links for the readme (since its fairly complicated and only a one time task), and then I just ended up adding some other stuff too (see top of this issue). What remains is for you to write the project context and overview.

Hi Bonnie, @ExperimentsInHonesty

How about the below as 'overview' and 'context' for the Readme?

Wasn't sure how much to add on the 'context' since the other examples simply link directly to their respective One Sheet. I can add more or cut down, whatever you think.

Once I get you edits back, I'll drop all the text in a googledoc or is there another template for the submission?

Thanks Sam

---Start---

The Brigade Organizer’s Playbook (BOP) Extension Project is an initiative of the Code for America National Advisory Council (NAC) and is delivered in partnership with Hack for LA.

The initial Scope of Work seeks - via exploratory interviews with Brigade Organizers - to discover what best practices and processes exist, as well as report on what future needs would improve the ongoing collection and sharing of learnings across the network.

Project context

Each of the 80+ Code for America Brigades generates valuable learnings in topic areas such as fundraising, recruiting members, running remote brigades, project management, setting and achieving DEI goals. What worked and how to replicate some of these are documented in the current Brigade Organizer’s Playbook.

For more information on the project, refer to: Brigade Organizer's Playbook One Sheet

Both the NAC and CfA independently identified the need to have replicable templates of processes and practices as part of their strategic priorities for 2020, to help scale the impact of Brigades' work to transform Civic life through technology.

Could use a formatting fix on the 'Open source 100%' section. Follow up action.

Hi Bonnie, Thad, Naomi,

Sorry for the late notice. I’m not able to make the call today.

We are making a dash for the UK to visit parents. Thursday, I’ll be back to join our calls.

One update to share, the OKR/work breakdown schedule with MOCHA roles is ready for your review.

I’d add the issue and link, but am blocked from github under the channel!

Hope your weekends went well.

Cheers Sam
