FT Do Toolkit?
 

Hi

Something Jenbel posted over on TB elections got me thinking as to whether there could be a Do toolkit / tips and suggestions set up somewhere to help Do organisers run their do's more smoothly?

Jenbel has more experience of FT Dos in her little finger than I do in my whole body, but even I realise there are lots of aspects which would be easier getting tips or using tools others have, than reinventing the wheel. A toolkit would also make it easier to make sure don't leave anything important out (like the time we meet :o ).

Some examples, I am sure there are lots more.

• what software handles any payments easily
• free maps for directions to venues and how to easily customise
• FT logo for printouts
• spreadsheet sample for managing the information going out and received (who did you send which message to and when, when did they sign up, etc)
• the value of having a backup venue when you find out a week beforehand someone is allergic

Perhaps this is something best placed on the FT wiki?

I think it is a perfect topic for the wiki. I had actually discussed this idea over the weekend. I'd be willing to work on it next month during my winter break from school.

I will join the project as well :) great idea !!!

Excellent. I can help from the perspective of novice do organiser.

And this has just been pointed out to me... I hadn't noticed it at the time, as I was offline for the London Mega do.

Very happy to help on it as well... you guys are about to get PM!
