Team Project Plan

Coach Sue here ... with a post of the team research project plan which you all created on Sunday. We'll update this as we move along. Watch for your names (where you volunteered to get something done) and the dates (to get it done by!)

Project Plan: As of Oct 26 09

Reach out to community contacts – schedule meetings/presentations/follow up with key people at each organization
- Christ Church: Amiel to email for mtg this Friday with she/Austin
- School: Austin, Jeffery, Mitch, Alexa: this Wednesday with Principle
- Ride Connection: Amiel to email re team mtg next week: Tuesday or Thursday after school
- Sustainable Development Commission: Amiel: this Tuesday
- Wilsonville: later … via Lex? Target a meeting/presentation after Nov 9 once we’ve got other pilots underway since these are examples for what the city could inspire those in their region to undertake

Build demo prototype
- Austin: this Monday/Tuesday – ready for church review this Friday

Develop list of questions to ask community organizations – so we have our research completed from them and refinements to the mapping system
- whole team: drafted during the meeting on Sunday

Develop list of “The Ask” questions – what actions/commitments we want during these first meetings from each group
- drafted during Sunday meeting

Get familiar with the background information on these community groups
- particularly the Ride Connection – Jeffrey, Austin, Mitch, Alexa – read the web site, get up to speed

Research the Regional Metro Transportation Plan: Challenges and Priorities
- Attend Sustainable Development Commission Tuesday meeting
- Read key web materials
- Find out how our project’s problems and benefits fits into their overall plan
- Find experts we can talk with about our idea to help refine it
- Amiel – in time for Sunday’s next meeting

Find out what alternative car pooling or networking services there are in use now – and why they do/don’t work
- Jeffrey

Get familiar with the Community Walks mapping system
- more time exploring it, making test maps, figuring it out
- Lex, Mitch, Jeffrey

Research Community Walks web site and services further
- Are there any rules that govern organizations’ use of the maps/site/service?
- Are there any other features that could be useful to the challenges our communities face?
- Are they looking for feedback or ideas from users re how to improve the map or apply it in new situations? If so, how would we get in touch with them?
- Whole team – or Austin/Amiel if they have more time

Develop a brochure summarizing how the transport challenges each community faces can be tackled using the social network maps -- mini case examples – to bring to the Wilsonville City Council or other metro meetings
- NEXT week beg Nov 2

Prepare presentation for competition: START DATE: Weekend of Nov 14th LATEST
