## Agenda
1. go through all operations and see if anything missing
2. Keep in mind: some advice from last sem's [surveys](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L5JHmdoiTk56koUlOBygJBWhUONrug9qbIuhkISm68g/edit?usp=sharing)
- non-technical: create a community, be more organized (use board&milestones to manage projects)
- technical: remotes machines, need documentation
3. knock out all the requirement details of these **19** operations. Things to keep in mind:
- focus on what outcome we want, then figure out what needs to be done, and lastly who is doing this and the DDL
4. add post-mortem folders and template [here](https://dev.hsrn.nyu.edu/vip/planning/runbook/-/tree/main/2024_fall_post_mortem)
