How to move the Space
Sometimes VHS has to move. These are some of the things we have learned from previous moves.
Form a space-hunting committee
The community at large will require extended discussions that aren't always necessary and it's not possible to make everyone happy (see: bikeshedding). A small group of people who take responsibility of finding a best-fit is much easier.
7 or fewer people is ideal. Including the seven, at least one member of the Board of Directors in a purely observational role to sign off on any final decisions and keep the Board in the loop.
- Something something automated scrapers, discussion platform that allows backscroll to be continued while going mobile, multipronged approach, feet-on-pavement, formalise committee to have carte blanche
Form a moving committee
- more open, community engagement
- multiple phases
- purge, pack, buildout, move
- make first two phases distinct with no overlap!
Towers of Hanoi
- tools required to pack up the old space should be packed last
- tools required to prep the new space should be moved first
- everything packed in a box should be labelled on the SIDE of the box so that it can be found after it has been stacked on a palette.
