Minutes
- Review of raising developer contributions.
- The governance model that equates $ with dev time as more fungible is on the right track
- How do we quantify and track contributions? Honor system? Peer pressure about showing up on code sprints (or not) has worked OK in the past
- But we can't really differentiate between .2 and .3 FTE.
- Ad hoc contributions are also useful, and seem to be growing
- Overall Andrew is happy with current trajectory
- and how do we push people off/down if they don't meet commitments?
- should "credit" for FTEs allocated be applied to the next year?
- or would this be too much delayed gratification?
- should "credit" for FTEs allocated be applied to the next year?
- bottom line is we're hurting for developers
- how do we establish the norm of getting more contributors on from more sites?
- how do we provide onramps for new developers to come up to speed?
- more modular architecture helps–work on just a piece, not a whole monolith
- make clear that new developers are welcome through invitation and communication
- Andrew sometimes sends tickets triaged by level of expertise required–entry tix for expert tix
