Suggestions
I wanted to add some ideas of things we could talk about, and for some reason I did not want to use the talk page so I am adding them here. These are just ideas. Take them or leave them.
What is the balance between Yack and Hack?
That is, how much time will we be talking, and how much time writing code on our laptops?--Tim Hunt 09:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Planning specific bits of the post 2.0-roadmap
The main thing is that we keep talking about how recent released, especially 2.0, have had a lot of under the hood changes and that we really need to do some work on the actual activities themselves. I was wonder if if we should have a section of time allocated to what we consider the most important modules (or other things like the gradebook/filepicker/backup).
In order to have meaningful discussion, I suggest that in advanced of the hackfest, each participant is assigned (or volunteers for) one of those bit. They are then expected to read every open bug and feature request for that component, and spend some time following the associated forum, and come up with a summary of what the most pressing issues there seem to be. Then at the hackfest they would lead that discussion section, kicking off by explaining to the rest of us what they learned during their research.
Naturally, if we do this, I volunteer for the quiz and question bank. Of course, I already have a pretty good idea what is going on there. I guess this would probably be more work if people had to look at an area they had not thought about before, so that is not fair.--Tim Hunt ~10:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- +1. Naturally, I volunteer for Workshop, given that the Tim's last sentence applies for my case, too. --David Mudrak 10:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
How about a work-on-2.0 day
The aim would be that by the end of the day, we have fixed as many of the Fix-for 2.0 bugs as possible, and also have reviewed all the ones that we cannot fix immediately, so we end up with a really good, triaged bug-list of what is left to be done. By the end of the day, all the bugs should be assigned to someone who feels confident they will be able to fix it.--Tim Hunt 09:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC) and Dan Poltawski. We discussed this at the GBBF last night.
