It starts now. This is how.
I'd first like to thank everyone who expressed their faith in me to serve as a leader of Team 32 in the recent leadership vote.
My first decision as the leader of Team 32 was to talk with David and he agreed to serve with me as co-leader - We think alike, and have the same forum ideals, and I trust his decision making atleast as much as I trust my own. Shipments of our blood are currently cross-shipping over the Atlantic, and we'll be performing a blood ritual where we gash our wrists and mix the blood to make it official. I forgot to mention this to David when I asked him to serve as co-leader, so David, consider this your FYI. Team 32 also expressed their faith in David, so I expect that everyone will happily regard us both as equal team leaders of Team 32.
On to our future as Team 32...
1) We will be using the recent threads in this forum to formulate a plan of attack, and officially track the people who are leading the various Team Initiatives. Much of this has already been done, but I hope to contact the people who are doing the work in these areas so they can report to David and I on the progress they are making, and the problems they run into so that we can ensure we get them all the help they might need.
2) To assist in that regard, I plan to keep a succint work log, which will include action items and timelines to ensure things are followed up on and hold people responsible for the tasks they undertake. There is no pressure here, but this will help to ensure that what we undertake is followed up on, and if someone needs help we can make sure we connect them with the right people to help them in their tasks. It should help a lot to know why things are or are not getting done, and allow us to help eachother better for the greater good of the team. This should help us overcome and obstacles we come up on. I will update this very regularly, and I will establish a timeline for updates in my first post of this work log.
4) Talk more smack.
3) I will be contacting Ed or Joe to discuss my plans for Team 32 in regard to its relationship with the frontpage. I would love if the forums as a whole could get back to a closer tie in with the frontpage, and this would especially benefit Team 32 and loyalty to the frontpage. I know its been hard for many of us to contact the frontpage, so I will send him a singing telegram if necessary. We will organize our communication with the frontpage better, and funnel all official communication to the frontpage in some organized fashion, instead of sending Joe and Ed emails from various people and email addresses - setting up a simple email rule on their client should ensure that our communications are received effectively and noticed. I will see about the possibility of establishing this in what we agree to be the best way possible.
Those are my plans right now, and I'm certain David has more plans and ideas also. Expect a timely turn around on these topics. I will still be out of town for another week on business, but by next weekend I expect to get things really rolling around the folding forum and will update everyone with a thread on these topics.
PS My second decision as team leader was that the number four will no longer follow the number 3. Hereforth, it will come before it in this forum. That is all.
