<div>Operations is the place in SSI to learn professional skills and connect to the wider aerospace community. The skills you’ll learn are so diverse -- from graphic design to how to get a sponsorship -- that they’re near impossible to summarize. Space is so much more than just the technology, and Operations where it all happens. Operations is split into a number of subgroups with various responsibilities, from organizing members to teach classes at [https://www.stanfordesp.org Stanford Splash] and uploading workshops to YouTube, to planning special dinners for all members. If you want to know how to manage a group of 200 members with a six figure budget, make space art to decorate our workspace, or get connected to the top of the space industry, Operations is the place for you. <br />
<br />
{{Nowrap|Space would hardly be possible without the people behind the hardware, getting sponsorships, building community, and talking to CEOs and Venture Capitalists across the industry. We’ve brought in speakers like Charlie Bolden, the then-administrator of NASA, and this year will be hosting Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX. We have a half dozen different efforts that form the backbone of SSI. Feel free to reach out if you want to get involved! The current team leads are {{Leadership|Operations=true}}}}<br />
<br />
= Events =<br />
Operations brings space to Stanford and sends its members out into the world. The entire Operations team started with Events and we’re only getting better. In the past, we’ve brought exciting speakers like Gabriel Swiney, one of the authors of the Artemis Accords, representatives from companies like Boeing and SpaceX, and alumni who are now in the aerospace industry, and organized field trips to places such as Bay Area Circuits. Throughout the year, we host talks, panels, and tours at Stanford while sending our members beyond.<br />
<br />
= Marketing =<br />
Marketing is where you can learn graphic design in order to make lovely materials like Approaching SSI, or reach out to magazines like Wired, Techcrunch, and the Stanford Daily in order to showcase our projects to the world. Oh, and if you want to manage our social media (aka make dank memes) this is the place to be. You have Marketing to thank for all of our gorgeous materials, posters, and swag.<br />
<br />
= Website =<br />
Our Website group manages both the beautiful main website and the internal site, which in addition to looking gorgeous brims with tools like the reimbursement system and resume book. Through a full, feature-rich system (if you want to make enterprise software, this is a great way to get started) the Website makes managing SSI a dream.<br />
If you want to get involved, let Priti and Matthew {{slack-user|Priti Rangnekar}} and {{slack-user|Matthew Turk}} know.<br />
<br />
= Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) =<br />
We want space to be the most welcoming community possible, and that starts with SSI. The DEI team runs a quarterly leadership workshop, hosts talks, connects with engineering diversity organizations, and works to make SSI a space for everyone. Look out for self-care and movie nights and exciting speakers discussing equity and representation in aerospace.<br />
<br />
= Outreach =<br />
Outreach efforts focus on bringing our stories to local schools and even the Maker Faire. Outreach launches SSI straight out of the Stanford bubble and into the real world. We teach classes to high schoolers at Splash, update educational content on our YouTube channel, and generally work to spread the message that space is for everyone.<br />
<br />
= Financial Officers =<br />
The FOs should really be called the wolves of wall-ssi, because they focus on managing the six-figure budget, handling reimbursements, and interfacing with Stanford administrators.<br />
<br />
= Workspace =<br />
Workspace manages the 60-foot-tall underground bunker we call home. That means running a machine shop, planting herbs, and painting space-themed murals across our cavernous space.<br />
<br />
= Community =<br />
At the core of any team is the people, and with Community you’ll help welcome and foster connections between people from all walks of life. By organizing events like special dinners, watergun fights, and spring retreat, you will help make SSI more than just a group of talented engineers, but rather (in the words of one of our members) “the best family one could ask for.”<br />
<br />
= Business =<br />
The business team leverages the alumni network and SSI’s own contacts in order to keep SSI funded. They interface with everyone from big boy aerospace companies to small startups to the ASSU themselves for everything from cash to equipment to software access. Extorting aerospace executives makes SSI's projects possible.<br />
<br />
= Alumni = <br />
Here in the valley, you're an ancient, creaking Methuselah by the time you reach 22. Unless, of course, you're part of the SSI alumni network, which is run by the group of the same name. Alumni keeps this running, organizing events for aged 20-somethings to rest their aching bones. If you’re interested in interfacing with or joining our alumni network, check out How to Join SSI's Alumni Network. <br />
<br />
= Safety = <br />
Space can be dangerous! Whether it’s working with dry ice, using power tools, keeping our workspace compliant, or standing far, far, away from rockets at launches, Safety comes up with procedures that keep us from getting injured doing what we love.<br />
<br />
= Data =<br />
Are you a budding statistician? Do you love analyzing populations? Data is in charge of running our annual SSI census, where we try to understand the successes and failures of our current administration and get a sense of the many, many active members of SSI as a whole.<br />
<br />
= SSIT =<br />
If you want to explore the bowels of SSI on a deep, deep level, then SSIT is for you. Keeping our Wiki and website running and managing all of SSI’s technology is no easy task, but it’s critical for helping the club function.<br />

Here in the valley, you're an ancient, creaking Methuselah by the time you reach 22. Unless, of course, you're part of the SSI alumni network, which is run by the group of the same name. Alumni keeps this running, organizing events for aged 20-somethings to rest their aching bones.<br />

<hr />
<div>Operations is the place in SSI to learn professional skills and connect to the wider aerospace community. The skills you’ll learn are so diverse -- from graphic design to how to get a sponsorship -- that they’re near impossible to summarize. Space is so much more than just the technology, and Operations where it all happens. Operations is split into a number of subgroups with various responsibilities, from organizing members to teach classes at [https://www.stanfordesp.org Stanford Splash] and uploading workshops to YouTube, to planning special dinners for all members. If you want to know how to manage a group of 200 members with a six figure budget, make space art to decorate our workspace, or get connected to the top of the space industry, Operations is the place for you. <br />
<br />
{{Nowrap|Space would hardly be possible without the people behind the hardware, getting sponsorships, building community, and talking to CEOs and Venture Capitalists across the industry. We’ve brought in speakers like Charlie Bolden, the then-administrator of NASA, and this year will be hosting Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX. We have a half dozen different efforts that form the backbone of SSI. Feel free to reach out if you want to get involved! The current team leads are {{Leadership|Operations=true}}}}<br />
<br />
= Events =<br />
Operations brings space to Stanford and sends its members out into the world. The entire Operations team started with Events and we’re only getting better. In the past, we’ve brought exciting speakers like Gabriel Swiney, one of the authors of the Artemis Accords, representatives from companies like Boeing and SpaceX, and alumni who are now in the aerospace industry, and organized field trips to places such as Bay Area Circuits. Throughout the year, we host talks, panels, and tours at Stanford while sending our members beyond.<br />
<br />
= Marketing =<br />
Marketing is where you can learn graphic design in order to make lovely materials like Approaching SSI, or reach out to magazines like Wired, Techcrunch, and the Stanford Daily in order to showcase our projects to the world. Oh, and if you want to manage our social media (aka make dank memes) this is the place to be. You have Marketing to thank for all of our gorgeous materials, posters, and swag.<br />
<br />
= Website =<br />
Our Website group manages both the beautiful main website and the internal site, which in addition to looking gorgeous brims with tools like the reimbursement system and resume book. Through a full, feature-rich system (if you want to make enterprise software, this is a great way to get started) the Website makes managing SSI a dream.<br />
If you want to get involved, let Priti and Matthew {{slack-user|Priti Rangnekar}} and {{slack-user|Matthew Turk}} know.<br />
<br />
= Diversity =<br />
We want space to be the most welcoming community possible, and that starts with SSI. Diversity are the ones who run workshops and talks, connect with engineering diversity organizations, and work to make SSI a space for everyone.<br />
<br />
= Outreach =<br />
Outreach efforts focus on bringing our stories to local schools and even the Maker Faire. Outreach launches SSI straight out of the Stanford bubble and into the real world.<br />
<br />
= Finance =<br />
Finance should really be called the wolves of wall-ssi, because they focus on managing the six-figure budget, handling reimbursements, and interfacing with Stanford administrators.<br />
<br />
= Workspace =<br />
Workspace manages the 60-foot-tall underground bunker we call home. That means running a machine shop, planting herbs, and painting space-themed murals across our cavernous space.<br />
<br />
= Community =<br />
At the core of any team is the people, and with Community you’ll help welcome and foster connections between people from all walks of life. By organizing events like special dinners, watergun fights, and spring retreat, you will help make SSI more than just a group of talented engineers, but rather (in the words of one of our members) “the best family one could ask for.”<br />
<br />
= Sponsors =<br />
Sponsorships leverages the alumni network and SSI’s own contacts in order to keep SSI funded. Extorting aerospace executives makes SSI's projects possible. <br />
<br />
= Alumni = <br />
Here in the valley, you're an ancient, creaking Methuselah by the time you reach 22. Unless, of course, you're part of the SSI alumni network, which is run by the group of the same name. Alumni keeps this running, organizing events for aged 20-somethings to rest their aching bones.<br />

<noinclude>[[Category:Operations]]</noinclude></div>Gsocolofhttps://ssi-wiki.stanford.edu/w/index.php?title=Making_a_Purchase&diff=4413Making a Purchase2021-09-22T03:41:06Z<p>Gsocolof: </p>
<hr />
<div>Are you planning on spending money on something SSI-related? If so, you're in the right place! This page will go over both how to get reimbursed and how to use the credit card form.<br />
<br />
= Step 1: Make the purchase and keep the receipt =<br />
<br />
We care about making SSI financially accessible, and that includes you never having to make a purchase you are unable to or uncomfortable making. Choose one of the two options based on what works best for you and your situation:<br />
<br />
A) If you are comfortable fronting the money yourself and being reimbursed later, go ahead and make the purchase and keep the receipt. The importance of the receipt cannot be overstated - without a receipt, it's very difficult to reimburse. If you're buying things at home, save your receipt and try to submit it as soon as you can; if you're traveling with SSI, take a picture of your receipt in case you forget it or accidentally lose it. And when you get your receipt, check two things:<br />
* Is it an invoice? If so, it's not quite enough - you also need to attach a bank statement. <br />
* Is it itemized? Restaurants are especially notorious for this, but if a place doesn't list a breakdown of what you spent, it doesn't count. If you get one of these, go back and ask for an itemized one. If you can't get an itemized one, we can try to work something out. <br />
<br />
<br />
B) If you are not comfortable fronting the money yourself, submit a request to the FOs to purchase it on the SSI credit card here: https://bit.ly/2OOdr4B<br />
<br />
= Step 2: Log it on the SSI Internal Site =<br />
<br />
It's at https://internal.stanfordssi.org/. You can log on with your Stanford ID. If all goes well, you should see this page: <br />
<br />
[[File:SSIInternalHome.JPG|thumb|right|alt=SSI Internal Site Start Page.|SSI Internal Site Start Page.]]<br />
<br />
If not, go to #operations-website and complain.<br />
<br />
Once you're there, click on New Reimbursement<br />
<br />
[[File:NewReimbursement.JPG|thumb|right|alt=New Reimbursement Button.|New Reimbursement Button.]]<br />
<br />
Most fields here are self-explanatory. Some notes:<br />
* If you used an SSI credit card (the form in part 1B), make sure to box that field. <br />
* If this expense was already handled somehow (this happens rarely), hit that field. <br />
* "Delivery Method" refers to if you want to pick the reimbursement up at Old Union or have it mailed to you. Generally pickup at Old Union is easier if you're on campus. While we've been virtual/off campus, you can go into Axess and set up direct deposit.<br />
* If you're confused by a field or unsure what to put, please contact @Steven Songqi Pu or @Denise Lee. <br />
*For the receipt images remember to include these 2 things if this is a reimbursement/not on SSI’s credit card: 1) Proof of purchase. Not just a screenshot of how much the item costs, you need to prove it got charged to your credit card. 2) Itemized receipt. If you’ve bought more than 1 thing, the receipt needs to list all those things and their individual costs.<br />
<br />
[[File:ReimbursementFields.JPG|thumb|right|alt=Fields to fill out to get reimbursed.|Fields to fill out to get reimbursed.]]<br />
<br />
= Step 3: Fill Out an Expense Report = <br />
<br />
Most teams require that you make a detailed listing of the expenses you dealt with. They'll have a budget document in the Google drive where you can list what money you spent. Contact your coleads and they'll send you the link.<br />
<br />
= Potential Next Steps =<br />
<br />
When you submit your reimbursement, slackbot will message you to let you know! After that, it's up to the financial officers to process it, and slackbot will update you as they do so. If there's something wrong with your reimbursement, they'll also let you know! If you get a message saying your reimbursement was rejected, don't despair. There are plenty of ways to fix it and resubmit it--check the message from either the FOs, team co-leads, or SSE (Stanford Student Enterprises, the people who make the final call on the validity of a reimbursement) and make the necessary changes. If you're unsure what the message means or want clarification, contact either @Steven Songqi Pu or @Denise Lee. Within a few weeks, you should get an email from ASSU saying that a payment is available! When we are in-person, you can pick up your check from the ASSU office on the first floor of Old Union, behind the Axe and Palm (TAP).<br />
<br />
= What You Can and Can't Buy =<br />
<br />
As a general rule, it’s best to clear a purchase with your immediate supervisor (project lead, team lead, etc) at least verbally beforehand, just in case it’s something we already own, something it’s more cost-effective to machine ourselves, or something that’s just a no-go. But whether you’re on a launch or just need a new part ASAP, sometimes you gotta make a purchase fast. To prevent an event where you make a purchase you later find out you can’t get reimbursed for, here is an non exhaustive list of generally approved items:<br />
<br />
* Gas for SSI-related transportation, e.g. launches<br />
* Small general parts, e.g. screws, brackets<br />
* Non-power tools we don't already own or need more of, e.g. screwdrivers, taps<br />
* 3-D printing filament, when we run out<br />
* PPE we don’t have or we anticipate needing<br />
* Specialized safety equipment (ex. working with dry ice? Get a pair of thick gloves)<br />
* Team-specific parts (e.g. ejection mechanism for parachutes, camera for satellite, rocket airframes)<br />
* Non-chemical adhesives (tacky tape, regular glue/tape, duct tape)<br />
* Office supplies<br />
<br />
Here are a list of items you should be more careful about purchasing:<br />
* Food. The food policy is dictated on high from the ASSU--make sure you clear it with your project team leads before hosting an event with food. The current policy is one event per team, per quarter. Food on launches is also discretionary.<br />
* Really expensive things. Whether this is a motel stay on a launch or an expensive hunk of metal for a project, if something costs upward of >$100, it would be unwise not to discuss it first. Plus, who wants to front that much money without a guarantee of return, anyway?<br />
* Things that are questionable for safety reasons. New power tools, anything chemical (yes, epoxy counts), and anything else that could result in unsafe practices you should clear with your team lead and possibly discuss with the safety leads. This may happen even when you don’t expect it to--for example, planning on cutting through carbon fiber? You’ll need goggles and an N95 mask to avoid inhaling microscopic fragments that could harm your lungs.<br />
<br />
Here are some items you should never be purchasing:<br />
* Alcohol<br />
* Dangerous explosives<br />
<br />
Happy purchasing!<br />

<hr />
<div>Hello! There are a few things you need to do if you'd like to have full access to SSI's resources as a member.<br />
<br />
=Becoming an official member=<br />
<br />
# Fill out this 30-second form: [https://stanfordssi.org/q https://stanfordssi.org/q]<br />
# Join the SSI Slack [https://join.slack.com/t/ssi-teams/shared_invite/zt-gahlixrm-DyAtkyxTrUkt7K6HvPsxIA here].<br />
# Join the SSI mailing list [https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/ssi_general here].<br />
# [not expected until we are on campus] Pay dues ($10 in exchange for a t-shirt) to our financial officers via Venmo [https://venmo.com/stanfordssi @stanfordssi]. For questions/details or if dues present a financial hardship, message {{slack-user|Sophia Jones}}, {{slack-user|Anna Clark}}, {{slack-user|Tori}} or {{slack-user|Julia Thompson}}, and we'll waive them.<br />
# Once social distancing is not in effect—in order to allow you access to our workspace, [[End Station III]], you need to do the following things:<br />
##Log into [https://axess.sahr.stanford.edu/ AXESS] and click "STARS" at the top<br />
##Using either the "All Learning" list, or the Search Catalog, complete the following three safety trainings: '''EHS-4200: General Safety, Injury Prevention (IIPP), and Emergency Preparedness, EHS-1900: Chemical Safety for Laboratories, and EHS-2200: Compressed Gas Safety.''' If you've completed any of these previously for a laboratory class or other university purpose, you don't need to repeat them.<br />
##Some time after completion, you will receive an email for each of these (can take up to 24 hours) certifying your completion. Save each e-mail as a PDF, or, less preferably, screenshot it. This PDF or screenshot '''must''' have your name on it. Ask in {{slack-channel|welcome-to-ssi}} if you have questions about EH&S training - mentioning {{slack-user|mc-safety}} in your question will notify people who can help.<br />
##Sign into the [http://internal.stanfordssi.org internal site] using your Stanford email and under EH&S Safety Training, upload PDFs or screenshots proving your completion of the safety trainings.<br />
##Attend a safety tour of ES3. Ask in {{slack-channel|welcome-to-ssi}} to coordinate a time.<br />
##While in ES3, make sure to sign a copy of the Space Usage Agreement and leave it in the binder by the door. This is your record of completing the workspace safety tour.<br />
##Send a message in Slack to our workspace managers {{slack-user|timv}} or {{slack-user|Anna Clark}} that you've completed everything!<br />
# Take a look at [https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/habmc/assets/assi.pdf Approaching SSI], a handbook for new (and prospective) members!<br />
<br />

<br />
== [https://ssi-teams.slack.com/ Slack] ==<br />
<br />
Slack is the lifeblood of SSI. It is a messaging client that allows everyone within SSI to communicate. There are general channels (like {{slack-channel|rockets}}), which allow us to push out general updates to everyone interested in the rockets team and direct messages which allows one to one or smaller group communication. Notifications are pushed directly to your phone/computer/anything that has internet so that way we can infringe on all of your free time!<br />
<br />
To see what a list of what channels there are to join, check out the [[Slack Directory]].<br />
<br />
[https://ssi-teams.slack.com/signup '''Join the SSI Slack here.''']<br />
<br />
==[https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5or10qu0uhtfqcdqb3knrpn3r8@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles SSI Calendar]==<br />
Home to all of our events across all our teams.<br />
<br />
== [https://stanfordssi.org/leadership SSI Leadership] ==<br />
Find out who's in charge of things you're interested in and contact them! You can find all of us on Slack as well.<br />
<br />
==The Wiki==<br />
<br />
This wiki is a great place to find guides, overviews, and generally useful documentation on SSI projects. Many of the most current plans and docs are in the drive though.<br />
<br />
==[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5ethK6WQZfAWXgtR25KOEloN2M SSI Drive]==<br />
<br />
The drive contains a lot of important documentation for each team. We are trying to put more emphasis on using the wiki as a place for longer-term knowledge storage. <br />
<br />
== [https://stanfordssi.org/mailing-list The Mailing List] ==<br />
We use SSI General for organization-wide announcements, and it's a good way to hear about events that get lost in the depths of slack (Slack is still by and large the primary mode of communication for most of us though).<br />
<br />
== [[End Station III]] ==<br />
<br />
End Station III (also known as ES3) can be considered the temple to SSI’s religion, the hub, nerve center, or kernel of all project activity. End Station III houses work sessions, team meetings, and project storage. Keycard access is required to access the building.<br />
<br />

<br />
== [[Find a Project]] ==<br />
<br />
If you're ever feeling overwhelmed or lost about all the things going on in SSI, use this page to see what's what! Reach out to someone working on a project you're interested in and they'll help you get started. If you have questions or just want to chat, poke any leadership member.<br />
