Daily Workload

WIP, daily/routine and special tasks with a sample of what to expect

  1. Turn notifications on for all platforms available including YouTube and be prepared to interact actively to messages. This can involve 0 to about a dozen total daily interactions where a user, fanpage, or other event is responded to. Don't do this.
  1. Spend brief research time every other day or so looking at partners' and topical pages, the Google Group, and members' feeds to spot content to share. A general note here is that not everything has to be or really should be shared cross platform. Don't do this.
  1. Check to see if any events have been added. If so, create the events on Facebook, G+, Twitter (closer to the event date), Meetup, Eventful, Craigslist, the event blog at Knox Makers, and the Google Calendar if it hasn't already been added. Not the responsibility of the Communications Director. You will be made aware when things are added.
  1. Use media from events to post approximately 10 picture event albums using the name of the event as the album title for ease of retrieval for users. Some events such as events with numerous Show and Share items, Makerfaires, or events with multiple tracks may warrant huge image dumps, but generally photos should be selectively added for compelling shots. Post unique descriptions for each image. Post full albums to FB, Meetup, G+. Post highlights (throughout the event live, if possible) to Twitter. For any event with a Show and Share, try not to leave anyone out that brought something to share. Try to capture each individual or side project going on when guests/members are working on projects unrelated to an event. Just point to the right procedure, rather than restating the stuff here. Reduce scope of events.
  1. When at the space and not an event but someone is working on something or there's something cool at the space, try to get pics/video and share to social media.
  1. For pics/video, when circumstances allow try to use the tripod or another means of stabilization.
  1. Be alert to anyone who has requested or prefers not to be filmed/photographed.
  1. Organize media into a folder named after the event when archiving raw media from an event.
