Does SETI.USA need a committee?

[Bok]

It would definitely be better to implement on the BOINC server side

Now that I'm thinking of it though, I could do the regexp at parse time into a defined database field and then use that... hmmmmmmm

[Beerdrinker]

I am with DrPop....I think that he and I think much alike!!

I suggest 4 or 5 divisions:

Milestone Division:

Those are chasing MegaMilestones across all projects. Can support challenges, certain projects if it is on their "path"

BlackOps

Members willing to go everywhere. They are the first one out, when needed in a challenge. Very competitive members. Always looking "to pick a figth"

Topslot Division:

These are the members that wanna see SETI.USA take overall #1. They crunch best paying projects, optimize and calculate how to obtain maximum output. Can supports challenges. These members provide the solid baseline of RAC to keep us in the game.

Defend/FB Division:

These members defend individual projects in danger. Can me matched with those particular interested in FB.

Reserve Division:

Casual "crunch what you want" members, who is acting as backup on challenges, when position is defended or any other "not planned" happening.



Please change names if you have a better idea....This is just the outcome of 5 min thougths.....

Yes, a simple regexp on the username like

^.*\[.+\].*

should do it.

DrPop you must be a mind reader. Its kinda scary how you've expressed my feelings with your words.

I really like this idea. Take what we are, validate it and make it a standard. It sounds like a good base for growth. As we recruit, regardless what a cruncher's focus is, they have something to identify with.

The more people we keep happy, the better our retention will be and hopefully we quit losing people. We need numbers. The first step is keeping the people you already have. The next step is having a place that new team members will feel at home in.

Here comes the Phoenix.

These are some very good ideas. I like the whole subdivision thing a lot better than the idea of one big leadership committee. I'm all about getting the as many credits as I can as fast as I can. I think a top slot sub division would work for me. Would these subdivisions have their own leaders?

[trigggl]

It just occurred to me, we need an FTS division. (For The Science) Or does that fall under "Reserve"?

There's got to be some people out there still doing it for the Science.

I used to do it for the science but I got hooked on being a credit whore. lol

I guess each group could elect a Division Captain. Or would that be Sargent?

A division would be a General or if you don't like officers, Sargent Major.
