Do it again!

polydadSo yesterday I started by writing and sending off a couple of difficult contact letters to organizations that are now making loud claims about doing what I've been doing for years -- "We should really talk" letters. I also hung up the robot suit from last night, and made several necessary phone calls. Then I got a haircut and went to volunteer at a NextUp -- ex-Bus Project -- canvassing, and met two high schoolers, one named Giuseppe and the other whose name I didn't retain. The three of us have an as-yet unscheduled breakfast date.
The structure of what I want to create is a Program Support Office. It would be useful to name the program it's supporting, but I haven't done that yet and I'm not sure I should -- maybe I should let Giuseppe name it, or one of his cohort. There's only one key difference between a PSO and a Program Management Office like I set up at Bowne or Novix -- no command authority. I'll get back to that later. For a working name, let's call it the Metaculture Program. I have six project proposals for it, which are in writing but in bad need of editing, which is on today's list. Those are Citizenry, Positive Proxy, Arcology, Cascadia/Steampunk Synthesis, oh-damn-I-forgot-one, and Metaculture.
There are three other organizations I've identified so far which are also doing the same thing, for which I need to find contacts and send "we should talk" letters. Also on today's list. Even without the mundane tasks of weekly scrum and getting some exercise, that's a hell of a list. And I'm feeling really good about it and want to get moving on it. Daily scrum with Zack in fifteen minutes, then I can get back to work. Yay!
