[Hacks]: allocating late comers without having to re-do the teams #181

Closed ramaroesilva closed 3 years ago

In the timeseries hackathon, we noticed that to allocate late comers (people who join after the teams being already built) we have to completely re-do the teams (basically, it seems to be a random team assignment based on a provided list).

A good upgrade to this, since this situation causes some entropy at the beginning of a hackathon, would be for the "team-builder" to first check if there are already teams and, if so, only allocate the new people to already existing teams.

An important note from @cimendes, this would need to obey to the constraint of the team size limit.

Might have implications in #180 and vice-versa.

Actually it's possible to do that using the back office.
