Meeting Notes

OKRs

• @cdhaens asked if the GSF have materials to help her promote the Green Software Practitioner course internal

• [x] @NAMRATA-WOKE @russelltrow gather collateral to support promotion of the GSP within Member Orgs and provide to @cdhaens

Champions

• Encouraged everyone to explore the new Green Software Champions directory and apply if making public contributions.

Moving to Zoom

• Google Meet is now blocked for some project team members

• Discussed use of Zoom rather than Google Meets

• Zoom is a challenge for both Microsoft & Siemens

• All participants would prefer Microsoft Teams as that is their current platform

• All participants were happy with future meeting being recorded and distributed

• [x] @russelltrow continue investigating alternative video conference options

Chinese translation

• [x] @cdhaens introduce @russelltrow to a person on her team who could help with reviewing content

Patterns Strategy Workshops

• Discussed when to hold the workshops

• Came to a consensus on the following proposal:

  • First workshop Wednesday 17th
  • At 15:00 GMT
  • 2 hours long
  • Further workshops at the same time in the following weeks

• Discussed the desire for participants outside of Software Development, especially User Experience

• Discussed the need for adequate preparation to ensure that we get the most out of the workshops

  • This should include the project's history
  • Key challenges we are facing
  • Known gaps
  • As much context as possible about how the patterns are being used in the real-world
  • Relevant external references such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pattern-Oriented-Software-Architecture-System-Patterns/dp/0471958697

• [x] @russelltrow connect @sk16-dev & @pdematos12 to identify UX contact at Microsoft

• [x] @russelltrow follow up with @pdematos12 on opportunities for User Research ahead of the workshops
