Hey there folks,
Drupalcon Paris and code freeze is a little over 5 weeks away now.
Part of Drupalcon this year is not just one, but two sprint days, Sept
1st and 5th. Last 'con we had a lot of people show up for the doc
sprint and we self-organized fairly well. This year I'd like to have
things more planned out ahead of time since we have a lot of different
things going on in our docs world these days. I know that everyone
can't make it to Paris and so I am particularly keen to figure out a
good way to coordinate a virtual sprint with the live sprint in Paris.
I want to start talking about it now and see what we come up with. I
think having some "sub-groups" around particular things would be good.
sort of like how we had the coder and style guide tables in DC. Some
stuff that comes immediately to mind as possibilities are:
- D7 docs
- Newbies
- Code projects
- Roadmap groups (i.e. maybe IA, reward system, peer/metoring groups)
We could start posting up a rough game plan of things that we want to
accomplish by the end of the con week for various areas. I also think
the "cat-herder" plan at DC worked pretty well (where folks
volunteered to cat-herd, got a button to identify them, and helped
others get oriented, etc.), so thoughts on that are appreciated. Did
it work for you guys? Can we improve it? Any ideas on how to keep
communication/workflow better between virtual and live sprinters are
really neeeded, since I don't feel like I've had much success on that
front.
