YMCA Dump & Run Numbers
Associated Project(s):During the Aug. 5 - Aug. 17 collections we had roughly 280 donation drop offs (increased over last year by about 30)
- We conducted 39 furniture pickups on the two Saturdays
- 118 volunteers worked 980 hours over the three weeks between collecting, sorting, pricing, the Big Sale and cleanup (7 more volunteers and 170 more hours than last year)
- 12 staff members, including myself, contributed 267 hours at the Stock Pavilion
- Roughly 3,700 people attended the Big Sale over the weekend, including at least 1,000 students (probably much more), compared to an estimated 2,500 total last year
- The Big Sale grossed a little over $29,000, well past our budget goals, and an increase over last year (just under 23k)
- What little that was left, which wasn't much, was mostly either recycled or donated to Salt & Light for additional reuse.
Overall it was an excellent and incredibly smooth year!

Bikes (refurb): 4 for $785

Associated Project(s):All, Slow week. Not a lot of visitors, not a lot of bikes sold. Should be able to get a couple more bikes on the sales floor today, as we’re down to 10 or so bikes available.

The numbers:
Visitors: 13
Sales: $465.50
Bikes (refurb): 1 for $190

Coordinator -- Campus Bike CenteriCAP Portal Admin Meeting - August 9, 2024
Associated Project(s):Agenda
- Permissions fix for items marked Private (for all Private items, see this listing: Content filtered by visibility: Private)
- Quinn reported that iCAP Moderators had lost View access to items marked Private
- This likely happened during a module update Michael made a few months ago
- It has been fixed; let Michael know if any other permissions appear to be incorrect!
- Archiving projects (see last week's discussion):
- Show archival status as part of project title (e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED])
- " [ARCHIVED]" automatically appended to title for Archived projects
- " [ARCHIVED]" automatically removed from Active projects
- Hid archived projects from Sub-Projects listing
- e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED]: "Test Project with TAC" not listed as Sub-Project
- Hid archived projects from Related Projects listing
- e.g. Education iCAP Team: "Sustainability iCAP Portal" not listed as Related Project
- Show archival status as part of project title (e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED])
Discussion
- Archiving projects:
- How do we feel about directly editing the title rather than appending a tag, like we do with Project Status?
- Pros:
- Archival status impossible to ignore - it always appears without Michael having to explicitly include it in a particular display
- Cons:
- Archival status always appears as part of the title - would there be times we want to display the title without the archival status?
- Would we like the archival status to display differently, like the Project Status?
- Decision: the group liked inserting the archival status directly into the project's title. We do not foresee problems with this approach down the road.
- Pros:
- How do we feel about hiding the archived projects from Sub-projects and Related Projects listings?
- Cleans up the listings from archived projects
- Makes it harder to find archived projects in the hierarchy
- Decision: this look good for now; we can revisit later if needed
- How do we feel about directly editing the title rather than appending a tag, like we do with Project Status?
- Bike Fee funding
- Morgan, Sarthak, Michael, and Stacey DeLorenzo will meet to discuss further
- SSC Projects
- SSC Projects management transferring from Codie to Sheri
- Students will continue adding SSC Projects in earnest in the coming weeks
- Finding items created by a specific person:
- Find the person's profile page
- Click the "Track" link to see all items they've created (won't show things they've updated that were created by someone else)
- Morgan: after porting info to SSC Projects, what will happen to the iCAP Portal projects which existed solely to capture SSC funding info?
- Will handle on a case-by-case basis, but most will likely be archived
- SSC Project reports before 2012
- SSC did not require reports on recipients' use of funds before about 2012
- Some groups did proactively provide reports; may reach out to other groups to inquire whether they have reports to share
- Morgan collected all the older reports she could find and shared them in Box
- Other reports may have been uploaded to the iCAP Portal; some sleuthing may be required to find them, e.g.:
- Search Project Updates for 'ssc'
- Search Files for 'ssc', sorted by upload date (oldest first)
- Or try searching the above listings by key terms for specific projects
TODOs
- Michael:
- Implement archival feature on live site (email iCAP Portal mailing list when ready since next meeting is a month away)
- Finish SSC Project embed
- Allow more than 3 photos to be seen on SSC Projects - e.g. link to separate image gallery page like iCAP Portal Projects?
- Permissions fix for items marked Private (for all Private items, see this listing: Content filtered by visibility: Private)
