[x] Several weeks before: send out an email to the participants reminding them that they are signed up and to clear their calendars. You can find a template in FACILITATING.md.
[x] You will be communicating with these folks a lot. I find it helpful to save a copy/pasteable list of their names here:
Kim Bassett <kbassett@pivotal.io>, Samia Nneji <snneji@pivotal.io>, Brian Upton <bupton@pivotal.io>, James Pollard <jpollard@pivotal.io>, Sarah Weinstein <sweinstein@pivotal.io>, Ramia Davis <radavis@pivotal.io>, Brendan Winter <bwinter@pivotal.io>
[x] The week before: send out an email to each of the participants. You can find a template in FACILITATING.md.
[x] Get a Zoom room setup for remote participants. {} (Make sure to include this on your calendar invites.)
Scheduling
[x] Schedule a welcome/orientation session (1hr at 9:30 Monday morning). Discuss the goals of the week and prime the participants to consider what they'd like to get out of Onboarding week.
[x] Schedule daily standup (15min at 9:15, starting Tuesday).
[x] In the past, non Engineers have appreciated it when we blocked out the entire days of onbaording. This is especially helpful if done a few weeks in advance; so, they have time to move meetings and avoid having new ones scheduled in the first place.
[x] If your CF on-boarding will include the GCP track (gcp tracker label / the oss build) then ensure participants have access to the CF-Onboarding-dns project in GCP (for DNS propagation). IAM for DNS
Tracker Setup
[x] Make sure you have Tracker projects prepared.
[x] In SF, we use the following trackers projects:
