Log Attendance & improve communications from Hack Nights

[BarkleyBG]

update We are still interested in: "2. keep in touch with interested community members."

It would be good to keep in touch with what projects people are working on

---

original We'd like to

1. track attendance
2. keep in touch with interested community members.

potential strategy

1. One-question google poll to grab email from every attendee
2. Short google poll to ask “what did you work on” “did it go well” “other feedback” after a hack night
   • open it up in the last 30 mins of hack night
   • be sure to share it out during closing remarks
   • Take all email addresses that haven’t responded and prompt them with an email within 24-48 hours linking to that survey
3. Get info on new members
   • For all new email addresses that we don’t recognize, ask for name / pronouns / basic information in short follow-up google poll

long-term strategies

We can also think about in-depth longitudinal surveys once we nail down the basics. [ edit ] - we are moving this last part to #15

Erin and Brian are assigned this

@erinmagennis maybe we should ask the CFA brigades to see if anybody has a better idea than we have?

[BarkleyBG]

Andrew said that the Discourse site is where CfA brigades talk about this kind of stuff.

@erinmagennis

• we have been doing better at logging attendance, i think.
• Do we have any particular concerns at this time?
  • if so, should we file a new issue, or list them under this issue?

Moving to November so that we can attempt to tackle the goal: "2. keep in touch with interested community members."
