The Cypher team started dipping our toes into Hackerforce and we found ourselves wanting to assign sponsorships to hackers without necessarily marking them as contacted. For example, I know that I'll be contacting a few companies eventually, but as it's the holidays I can't contact them immediately. However, I'd still like to create a record of my being responsible for them, so the rest of the team can see that someone's covering them.

Changes:

  • Added a new Sponsorship.ASSIGNED status.
  • Updated various views and templates to reflect the existence of the new status. (ASSIGNED is counted as an "in progress" status. Its assigned color is cyan 🙂)
  • Changed the Mark Contacted button for sponsors (but not for leads) to say Start Tracking - which is more descriptive of the action now that you can track a company without marking it as contacted.

Note that initiating tracking for a company (making a hackathon-company Sponsorship object) is a separate operation from assigning hackathons to organizers. Would it be better to call this status INITIATED?

I'm leaning towards ASSIGNED, which is more descriptive for Cypher's use case where I can't imagine we'll initiate tracking without assigning responsibility right after. Happy to defer to whatever the team decides.

Looks good to me. The terminology of "Assigned" and "Start Tracking" makes sense to me as well though I will also defer to the team as to what they think makes sense. @CodyRichter I know you just wrapped up HackUMass & are deep in the weeds for HackHer but when you get a chance can you ask the current Sponsorship teams what they think about the verbage?

Approving regardless because the terms are a cosmetic change that can be updated if there's really a problem.
