[mom] We'll leave this town tonight

Hey Peepz, just like with the IRC channel we have decided to close this list down and use opensuse-project for our communication in the future. This will make for one communication channel less you have to follow and will expose the stuff we do a bit more. Please tag messages that are specifically for your fellow team members with the prefix [boosters] in the subject. I will close this list on the 15th of November 12:00 UTC. Have fun over there :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE http://www.hennevogel.de Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Andreas Jaeger 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi Boosters, Klaas and myself discussed the openSUSE 12.1 sprint and I suggested that you join the opensuse-marketing team 12.1 discussion each Wednesday at 16:00 UTC (so tomorrow, 18:00 Nuernberg time) on IRC #opensuse-marketing. Let's use that IRC discussion to avoid duplication of effort. Thanks for doing the 12.1 sprint!

Task tracking tools
by Thomas Schmidt 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi, as we just discussed in the meeting, we would like to evaluate some free task tracking tools to see if we can find something better/more suitable than retrospektiva, which is not much loved by the team. Those are the ones I know of, please answer with more, so we can include them in the evaluation. - teambox.com: full-featured project/task management Kanban style boards: - http://kanbanize.com/live-demo - Trello.com: Simple task board, see in action: https://trello.com/board/trello-development/4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c - http://thoughtbox.es/ @nanuk: You said you alredy checked some tools, could you please share your experiences? The Studio team also switched to a new task distribution system, we could ask Cornelius about their solution. Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+owner(a)opensuse.org
