We are still asking for people to step up and volunteer.
Do you have what it takes? Do you want to make a difference?
Do you want to wait for some monster corporation to see big profits
and push for a papercrete building code that squeezes out the do-it-
yourselfer? Wouldn't you rather see a papercrete building code that
embraces people that want to make something for themselves AND still
allow honest and honorable businesses to provide a valuable service
to those that don't want to do it themselves?
That is what our effort to draft a papercrete building code is all
about. We want develop intelligent codes that help individuals
create SAFE and durable structures while encouraging fair and
responsible commercial use of the material.
Even if you don't feel qualified to act as Project Manager, please
don't hesitate to volunteer to help in other ways. We need more
people involved.

tasks that we need to complete in order to get papercrete adopted
into the International Building Code. They will document and track
these tasks and keep track of which ones must be completed before
others can be started. As we establish schedules to complete tasks,
this volunteer will help us stay on top of those schedules. They
will work closely with other Code Team members to find volunteers to
complete each task and track their progress. The Project Manager
will be responsible for keeping the master copy of our Gantt Chart
which will show our detailed progress on various tasks. This chart
will be constantly improved and updated by the Project Manager and
published on our Papercreters Building Codes site. We will be using
a free Open Source software, Gantt Project, to track all of this
information. It is very similar in many ways to Microsoft Project.
Experience in using project management software
> will be helpful but not absolutely necessary. This is an
excellent opportunity to learn how this software works in an
environment where several people are willing to help you learn. We
will help train you as necessary. A detailed oriented person would
be best. This will be a key member of our Papercrete Building Code
Team. Be prepared to invest an average of about 4 hours/week for a
year or more. It will be important for this volunteer to be able to
attend most of our weekly Saturday chats.
