Revision as of 09:17, 16 September 2014

A sample checklist for onboarding new staff. Each staff member will have different needs, but these are some of the most common.

Items that need to be updated on this checklist:

add links to grant proposals, historical documents
add system architecture diagrams.
Include the "onboarding tasks" for developers from the July 2014 Developer Retreat notes.

Accounts that the staff member must create:

Email help@datadryad.org to request an @datadryad.org email address that forwards to your preferred email.
access to wiki - staff self-creates an account, then asks admin@datadryad.org for privileged access
Google Dryad Dev list dryad-dev@googlegroups.com - sign yourself up
Accounts in Dryad production and development servers -- create the accounts, and ask admin@datadryad.org for privileges
Dryad Announce list -- sign up yourself (from Dryad homepage)
IM/call technologies -- connect with relevant staff members via IM and other communication technologies

Accounts/access created by Dryad administrators:

Dryad Dropbox folder
Dryad private team list

FogBugz
Dryad Users list
keys and ID cards needed for physical access to Dryad space
