That is, how much time will we be talking, and how much time writing code on our laptops?--[[User:Tim Hunt|Tim Hunt]] 09:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

===Planning specific bits of the post 2.0-roadmap===
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=1&course=1 Martin Dougiamas]
 
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=3176&course=1 Eloy Lafuente]
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).
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=12863&course=1 Petr Skoda]
 
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=93821&course=1 Tim Hunt]
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.

# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=17383&course=1 Penny Leach]
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.--[[User:Tim Hunt|Tim Hunt]] ~10:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=104159&course=1 Dan Poltawski]
 
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=1601&course=1 David Mudrak]
: +1. Naturally, I volunteer for Workshop, given that the Tim's last sentence applies for my case, too. --[[User:David Mudrak|David Mudrak]] 10:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

===How about a work-on-2.0 day===

# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=76222&course=1 Daniele Cordella]
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.--[[User:Tim Hunt|Tim Hunt]] 09:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC) and Dan Poltawski. We discussed this at the GBBF last night.

==='Prepared' Bug Squashing===
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=82371&course=1 Matt Oquist]
 
# [http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=669060&course=1 Kris Stokking]
Basically the same as the above suggestion, but I want to emphasise some preperation beforehand so that we can get to the real unsolved issues which would benefit with us all being in the same room and discussing solutions.
 
 
With each bug we triage before the hackfest, we should try to:
* a) Link or close issues which have been fixed, or will be fixed by 2.0 (etc)
* b) Document unsolved issues which we need discussion or a plan to be fixed ('''this is most important for the hackfest itself''')
* c) Document bugs which could be fixed with a little time (at the hackfest or later)
* d) Document bugs to pester someone else about ;-)


Depending on how much time you can devote, I suggest trying these triaging views in order:
== See also ==
* 1) Reviewing all open bugs reported by yourself, starting oldest first.
* 2) Reviewing your assigned issues, starting with oldest first
* 3) Reviewing 'nobody' or 'imported' bugs starting with the oldest first.
etc..


There is a lot of old cruft in the tracker. Many of the issues have or will be fixed soon, so we could do a lot by just looking at our own issues and setting the status/links appropiately. For all the others, some are just without a decided solution - these would be great ones to at least think about discussing. --[[User:Dan Poltawski|Dan Poltawski]] 17:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
