[KwartzAnnounce] Duty Roster -- RSVP by November 7

[Kwartzlab Members Announce List]

As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, we've got ourselves a 
pretty spiffy space.

Which is good.

Spaces require maintenance, however. Bathrooms need to be cleaned. 
Garbage needs to be taken out. Empty recycling bins need to be brought 
back in. These things need to be done every week.

And since we don't have the budget for janitorial staff, its up to all 
of us to do them. The fairest way to ensure that the work is shared 
equitably is to schedule it equitably. So that's what we're going to try.

We're going to schedule weekly duty cycles. Every week, 2 members will 
be "on duty". We'll switch every week, until everyone has had a turn, 
and then begin a new cycle.

Our first cycle runs from October 25 through January 31, and I'm working 
on the schedule right now. If you would like to provide input on which 
weeks are good (or bad for you), please update the wiki at 
http://kwartzlab.ca/mediawiki/index.php/Chores before November 7.

Putting your name down for more than one week does NOT mean you will be 
scheduled for more than one week; it just increases the chances that 
you'll get a week which is definitely good for you. Likewise, don't be 
shy about adding your name to a week that all ready has 2 names down. 
The more options we have, the easier it will be to come up with a 
schedule that works for everybody.

If you'd like to volunteer to cover Week #1 or #2 (the weeks before 
November 7), let me know ASAP, because those weeks need to be scheduled 
before November 7. Obviously.

If you don't put your name down anywhere, I'll assume that any time is 
good for you.

Once scheduled, you are more than welcome to trade your week with 
somebody else, bribe somebody to take your week, or split the duties 
with your partner of the week in whatever (inequitable) fashion pleases 
you both. However, you are responsible for ensuring that the week is 
somehow covered.

Gus will be drafting a check list of what sorts of things need to be 
done during the week, but to give you a general idea:

	* the bathroom needs to be cleaned once a week
	* floors need to be swept once a week
	* Garbage & recycling need to go out on the curb Thursday
	* Recycling bins need to be brought back in on Friday
	
I'll post the final schedule on http://kwartzlab.ca/membership/chores 
once I've got it figured out.

Thank you for your co-operation.
