As said during the meeting, I don't think this requires the full team for a long time as most of the infos are already there, but I won't be able to do it myself alone.

Events

Hey, taking this to our list. On 16.05.2011 11:48, Klaas Freitag wrote: > I think it took some time, but now we are really rocking. Which is the time we should detach from the rocket. We are boosters and not the main engine! :) If I look at how the project nowadays runs events I see a huge influence of the Boosters. Organization, materials, DVDs, both equipment and setup, the atmosphere and the way we generally roll on events are things we have brought up to speed. We can be very proud about that. But I also see that the usual suspect events don't hold much for us Boosters anymore. Yes it is important that the openSUSE Project is at LinuxTag, FROSCOM, SCALE or whatever but it's less and less important for us Boosters. So lets see how we take events to the next level and you know me, I already have an Idea how :) >From now on I would like us to concentrate on events that meet both of the following two conditions: 1. The main audience is not the FOSS community. 2. The topic is something you are not an expert in. I don't want us to do the same, always. There are so many groups of people out there that are connected to technology and engineering that are FOSS-minded to some degree. I want Boosters to go to their events and connect with them. It's time we try to tap into other groups than the FOSS community for contributors. The second thing is about that the Boosters get more out of the bucks we put into the events. From now on I want you to come home from an event with at least one new idea that you are excited about. Ideally with more ideas then you can act on. The world moves fast and there is tons of stuff where openSUSE still communicates, behaves, designs, develops and deploys like RMS and friends did in the 70s. It's time for us to go out and bring something of the new things back into openSUSE. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't do things on those events for openSUSE. I still expect you to give talks, distribute materials, educate people and network if you have the chance. I just would like us to do that with new people on new topics. What do you think? Do you maybe already have an event in mind for yourself or someone else? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Standup Meeting 2011-05-23
by Henne Vogelsang 23 May '11

23 May '11

------- general ------- * "Factory Contribution" Milestone ** We talked about the milestone in general and if its finished or not. We agreed upon that *** We need to write a "report" about the findings that often social aspects play a role *** We need to continue to work on the documentation goal e.g. Portal:Factory_contribution *** We need to blog about both things above to be finished * Meeting Method ** We move to 1 week sprints to have more frequent sync. ** We want to be a bit more relaxed about workreports. You only have to send one if you can't bring up everything in the "what I'm blocked by" section of the standup without boring everyone to death. No talking heads meeting! ** Henne got a spanking for not blogging about the meeting for too long. Alternatives like round-robin were discussed but he gets another chance. The last one before decapitation by Vincents guillotine. * Michal talked over the weekend to a czech NFP (liberix.cz) that is looking for linux success stories. We are going to try to deliver some to them. * Events ** Events discussion. We need to talk about which event we are going to as we need to maximise the outcome of that for us and our cause. We don't want to turn into the event team. Henne will start something on the ml. ** Upcoming events: froscon and lange nacht der wissenschaften. ------- standup ------- * name ** What have I done ** What am I planign to do ** What is blocking me * pavol ** Worked on the Contrib2Factory story (openSUSE:Contrib_cleanup) and the Packman2Games story. Both are progressing. ** Start discussion about packages that have no maintainer anymore in contrib. ** nothing michal ** Started to work on the "maintainer dos and donts" story ** nothing ** mysql broken in factory, mysql bugs to fix vuntz ** Worked on the Contrib2Factory story for some gnome related stuff ** Work on the "Real Factory Documentation" goal ** GNOME ismail ** nothing ** talk again to the d:l:py and d:l:c++ guys to check their progress ** general 12.1 milestone 1 packaging will ** nothing ** nothing ** KDE Networkmanager work in Factory cwh ** nothing ** nothing ** Driver Build tom ** work on the documentation, integrating some of the blogs into the wiki. ** Work on the "Real Factory Documentation" goal ** nothing coolo ** finished d:l:perl story.
