Monthly Report for November 2010

[Mike]

I've made an alteration to the reporting this month. What I had
envisioned seemed like a good idea at first, but it wound up being
very tedious, and ultimately a waste of time.

I set up facebook accounts for every participant and recorded their
activities in the status updates. The idea being we would be able to
look at an individual member and get a quick overview of their
contribution for the month. Something like this will most likely be
necessary in the near future. The way I did it was stupid but the the
idea still stands.

So without further ado..........

*COMPLETED WORK*

As I said, I created facebook accounts for each. I cannot give you
links to these pages because facebook is a piece of garbage. If you
would like to look at the pages you can log onto the accounts.

Email address: fwp(your first name)@gmail.com (i.e. mine is
fwp...@gmail.com).

Passoword: fireworksproject

People who were active and who I created accounts for are:
Kris
Amit
Shawn
Michael
myself

Of course you can navigate through basecamp to find the same
information. But having personal pages with a record of participation
seems more logical way to evaluate performance.

Like I said before, I will not be doing this type of reporting again.
It is far too tedious and time consuming with very little payoff. But
I it is something to look at and evaluate if we want to do something
like this in the future.

====================================

As always, post your votes here. And enjoy the holidays.

Mike O'Hara: 30,000 pts
Mike wrote up the report for October (which is actually written in
November), so I'm awarding points for that now. He's also been an
integral part of some important discussions on Basecamp (which have
somewhat intangible value, but value nonetheless) throughout November.

Amit Rawat: 5,000 pts
Amit has chimed in on a few of those same important discussions and
just generally shown a willingness to get involved.

Shawn Davis: 2,000 pts
Shawn also made a good contribution to on one of our important
discussions on Basecamp.

Michael Sprayberry 1,000 pts
Michael had a few helpful things to say on a couple of our more
important discussion threads on Basecamp. (Good comments, but where
have you been? We want to see more.)

I am posting my thoughts on Mike's latest ideas back on Basecamp.

[Michael O'Hara]

Kris- 60,000 - commits, thoughts and leadership

Amit - 5,000 - thoughts and willingness to work

Shawn - 5,000 - thoughts and willingness to work.
