Golden Sixpacks

Golden Sixpacks are yearly awards that Datascope is experimenting with as a mechanism to recognize each others' accomplishments.

Like the Oscars, we have multiple categories, with one award in each
The categories represent the different avenues of value we bring
People nominate others for awards, with a short (tweet-length) description of why they deserve the nomination
Instead of natural gifts and character traits, the idea is to focus on the amount of effort and improvement
For each award, we all vote anonymously (you can't nominate yourself but you can vote for yourself if nominated)
Winner of each award is announced
We divide the performance bonus pool by the number of awards, each award comes with one such unit of bonus

The Closer Bringer of new clients and projects
The Executer Getter-doner of shit (code / reports / prep)
The Navigator Major contributor to our culture and business design
The Corresponder Keeper-happy of clients, communicator, keeper-on-tracker
The Professor Trainer of self and colleagues (analysis / code / design / communication)
The Collaborator Awesome to work with (helping right when needed / trying to give good feedback / trusted to do things on their plate well / effort into being easy and fun to work with )

Potentially also:

The Rockstar Contributor to Datascope’s reputation (blog posts / talks / famous pro-bono work)
The Networker Builder of relationships
The Maker Builder of useful internal or public (non-client) tools

Install Vagrant, Fabric, and fabtools.
From the command line, run vagrant up. This will create and power up a virtual machine.
Run fab dev provision. This will install all the necessary packages on the virtual machine.
Run fab dev serve. This will start the flask development server on the virtual machine.
You can interact with the server on your browser at http://localhost:5000 (of course, for others to vote, we need to run the server on a machine with a static IP, but for now the instructions will use localhost).
Go to http://localhost:5000/admin
Log in as the initial superuser as listed (dumbledore:hogwarts4eva).
Use the admin interface to create a new superuser, delete dumbledore and log back in.
Create the other users (voters), change the categories if need be, and add nominations.
Ask participants to give their own nominations, create those as well.
Send participants their username and password combinations, give them a deadline, and check the admin interface to keep track of the situation as they vote.
Once everybody votes, share the results with everyone.
