Nice target points. @mngsh @Harsh_Tandiya and I will be posting ours tomorrow. Few things I thought: - It would be more nice, if mentioned on individual basis, who is checking on particular tasks, as the list seems pretty long for 2 months without division. - > [@fossdot](#): > > Smooth transition to the platform to all existing chapters - Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune Harsh, Mangesh and I had a plan to cover this beforehand, as we were thinking of working on the onboarding too. Plan is for us to set up calls with city and FOSS Club leads, for queries for onboarding and platform walkthrough, general one in the community call after **Feb 7th** , one-on-one’s if needed, and make demo video of event admin dashboard usage. Do you propose an alter one? ---

> [@mriya11](#): > > Few things I thought: > > - It would be more nice, if mentioned on individual basis, who is checking on particular tasks, as the list seems pretty long for 2 months without division. Good idea but It is going to take more time to list down of all the single tasks we will do than actually spending working the tasks and assigning among ourselves on the go. > [@mriya11](#): > > Plan is for us to set up calls with city and FOSS Club leads, for queries for onboarding and platform walkthrough, general one in the community call after Feb 7th, one-on-one’s if needed, and make demo video of event admin dashboard usage. But you folks might need support from the @ansh and I for the coordination, right? ---

> [@fossdot](#): > > But you folks might need support from the @ansh and I for the coordination, right? Yes, we would have to do it in the community calls, and make way to source queries. Would need @ansh to help with FOSS Club leads, as their team onboarding would be there too. I was confused when you mentioned transition, thought if you meant about taking up and made a plan for the onboarding process, in an alter way. ---

> [@mriya11](#): > > I was confused when you mentioned transition, thought if you meant about taking up and made a plan for the onboarding process, in an alter way. Yes, we (tech +community team) need to get on a call with the organizers and the leads but one call won’t solve the problem. The community team need to help the organizers regularly untill they start feeling comfortable with the new system. ---

> [@fossdot](#): > > Yes, we (tech +community team) need to get on a call with the organizers and the leads but one call won’t solve the problem Yes that was the original plan, general community calls and one-on-ones and also short group calls if needed. Having multiple calls is a necessity as it demands, we had proposed in the [plan here too](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/first-quarter-jan-march-2024-plans-for-tech-platform/2793#:~:text=Collaborate%20with%20community,admin%20dashboard%20usage.). ---
