I'm running with it, then. I will not have the brain time slotted for such a template until later this week. Also, very related: (skip to the tl;dr section if you do not want to read the ramblings of a documentarian) There are a few spots on the wiki dedicated to conference planning documentation: - http://wiki.code4lib.org/How_To_Plan_A_Code4LibCon - http://wiki.code4lib.org/Conference_Financial_History_At_A_Glance - Various lessons learned pages One of the things I've been meaning to do is to look through at least the first page to see what can be added or changed to ensure that we only experience a minimal loss of tacit and explicit knowledge involved with planning the con each year while making it easier for future con planners to access and to use this information. It might be that this could turn into a major documentation project. HOWEVER, I need to take a closer look to see what can realistically be done. It might be templates, it might be timelines, it might be forms, it might be other things, or it might be all of the above. Again, I need to sit down and come up with a concrete proposal to bring back to y'all, complete with recommendations/action plans. ;c) I've already got one "I'll help!" from me thinking out loud on Twitter (thanks Coral!). Other folks are welcome to say "I'll help!" *off list*. Please. Check the to: field if you're just going to say that you'll help ;c) Save everyone else's inboxes! tl;dr - Becky is finally getting off her butt and running through the con planning documentation to see how we can help future con planners/volunteers run the best conference they can put on. Help appreciated with action plan/recommendations after initial survey (ping off list). Cheers, Becky /me wonders "what am I getting myself into this time?" as she hits the send button...
