Allot of your stuff are in line with what we want to do. Specifically the docs stuff. We should just go ahead and merge both societies into HaACSS also: https://github.com/HaCSBCU/conduct edit: OMG, we should make an upstream website project. That we both contribute to and each use to run our sites. ++ to open source collaboration between socs. edit edit: Lets call it TechSocPages!Then others can fork it, choose a theme for it or create their own, and run their own tech socs! |

LGTM!

Certainly with the documentation, this is going to have a lasting effect. The manifesto acts as the definition of what the society is all about, and should help drive decisions that this committee and future committees make. It's also important that this is an evolving document which can be edited and commented on. | ||

I don't think that the docs necessarily have a measurable impact, so it's difficult to work out how successful they are. Perhaps a good idea would be for the committee to review the docs twice a year - once with the new incoming committee, and then once again around mid-term. Members should also be actively encouraged to review them. |

Engagement with the docs would be interesting, perhaps hooking them up to google analytics.

With the programme of events, the immediate impact will be seen by the number of members attending the events. In the longer-term, the impact will be the skills and knowledge which members pick up from these sessions and go on to develop further. This is again hard to measure, but if at least one person is encouraged to go on and use what they learn in something, then I'll count it as a success! If the format and planning of the events goes well for the first term, then we'll iterate on the concept and adapt it for people's needs in second term. |

We spoke a little bit about one way you can measure this: proportion of students participating in events that go on to become mentors/speakers at future events. You could also do something nifty with the GitHub API and see which of them goes on to make an active repo from the event ;)
Deviated from the template a bit by kind of merging the proposal and impact sections into one. Still got a bit of work to do, but the core of the plan is there.
The word "memes" is acting as a "TODO". The current culture is not (quite) only memes.
