...
- 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
- Fedora Camp. Get a colocated Fedora Dev Camp; structured curriculum focused on enhancing code, bringing new devs on.
- AGREEMENT: Lets pilot this in late 2015 or early 2016. Start stateside. See if it works out then go international.
- BugFix-a-Thon. Schedule a 20-dev, distributed effort to squash a ton of bugs, and bring a bunch of new devs on line.
- AGREEMENT: Worth investigating. David & Andrew will investigate to see how this could be framed, timed.
- Hold joint code-sprints with Hydra & Islandora. Good idea.
- Current Fedora 4 implementations
- How do we keep this list up to date? How do we make the most of it?
- Notes:
- Virginia Tech in soft launch.
- Royal Library of Denmark likely in prod or near prod by now.
- Need it for mktg, to show degree of traction. Want a mix of regions, sizes, types, greenfield/upgrations.
- "An Ambassadors list"
- Start a list / table in Confluence with updated case studies
- look at mining the panels from CNI and other meetings on Fedora 4 demos
- David to curate this content
- Stefano's initial review of website
- David & Stefano forming an elite subcommittee to refresh content on the Website.
- Indicate interest in joining to David & Stefano.
- Patrick Yott is committed (in pencil); have a lot of Drupal talent in house.
- Duration = 6 months if we use current Drupal theme.
- also looking at improving the Fedora registry
- Send any additional comments on content
- David & Stefano forming an elite subcommittee to refresh content on the Website.
- Steering Elections update.
- Votes are still open; voting for 3 new Steering members; each institution only gives one vote.
- Upgration Support / Next Sprint
- do another round of upgration pilots.
- Glen sez that moving from F3 to F4 requires a paradigm shift in mentality. Need a map of concepts from F3 to F4.
- starter doc is already on the wiki. (Link?)
- maybe also look at the web UI; what is a PID in F4? (Andrew says it becomes a DC identifier)
- see Glen's note to Fedora-Leaders.
- what next?
- do an ad hoc phone call with Fedora Tech and Fedora Community
- make it a Webinar?
- this needs more discussion; David, Andrew & Jonathan will discuss, frame and reflect back out to Leaders.
