schedule a regular Hangout #1943

Closed chadwhitacre closed 10 years ago

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

Reticketed from https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1126#issuecomment-33281946 and labelled DevX ★.

Who's interested? What times are good for you?

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

Picking up from https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1126#issuecomment-33281946 ...

where @pjz was frustrated that no one responded to this particular ticket.

Since I'm managing Gittip, Shields, Aspen, and the OCI, and that's kind of a lot, my basic strategy is to try to give a chunk of attention to each project approximately once a week, though I don't always succeed. What that means for Gittip is that I'm generally not going to participate in ongoing discussions on non-★★★ tickets. I think it's fine and valuable for others to do so to a moderate extent. I agree that @pjz's question at https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1126#issuecomment-27614761 could have been answered, but it's not going to be me that answers it, because a) it's on a ★★☆ ticket (it wasn't three months ago when he asked his question, of course, because we didn't have priority labels yet), and b) he didn't ping me directly (even if he did, I might have led with, "Do you think we should bump this to three stars?").

The hot items for me this week were:

I'm keenly aware that Aspen is absent from that list. I owe @pjz some attention—and before our next monthly hangout—but I have my eye on https://github.com/gittip/aspen-python/pull/280 and https://github.com/gittip/aspen-python/issues/284, not on this ticket.

In general, if I'm not answering someone's question, it's probably because I'm answering someone else's question instead.

@seanlinsley All that said, it's totally fair and awesome for you to expect some slice of my attention, as someone who is committed to working on Gittip. :-)

Could we start with a monthly one-on-one Hangout like I do with @pjz? What would be a good time for that?

Who else is interested in a regular one-on-one Hangout? @zwn?

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@seanlinsley You asked for a biweekly team Hangout and I suggested a monthly one-on-one. I guess I'm thinking that it will be harder to coordinate a team Hangout, and it seems like it's really my attention that is most in demand? Open to hearing otherwise ...

seanlinsley commented 10 years ago

I have no idea which would be better. I'm new to this, too :octopus:

As for a time, I could make pretty much anything work.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@seanlinsley :relaxed: Daytime is better for me than evening. How about first Tuesdays at 10:15 AM my time? That'll be right after @pjz, I think it's 9:15 for you, yes? Would that work? First one would be Feb 4, week after next.

patcon commented 10 years ago

+1 for a regular [bi-]weekly standup hangouts. Seems particularly relevant to people who don't feel central enough for a one-on-one, but who appreciate the motivating factor of face-to-face interaction :)

galuszkak commented 10 years ago

+1 from me also.

I'm good Wednesday and Thursday mornings. In general I promise to be more regular on IRC. I just get super busy sometimes and work in spurts on Gittip on my own. But I am active nowadays.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

How Wednesdays at 3pm UTC? Let's try a group Hangout this Wednesday (Jan 29) at that time.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

Leaving this open until our first Hangout on Wednesday (assuming that comes together).

clone1018 commented 10 years ago

If 3PM UTC works for everyone I'm fine to sit out on every call you'll ever have. 8-5 m-f jobs are :(

patcon commented 10 years ago

:+1:

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

Okay! Who's ready? :-)

Okay! We're going to try two midweek stand-ups to accommodate various timezones and schedules:

I'm calling my standup "Standup B" and I've reticketed my next one as #1950.

@patcon Pick a name and make a ticket! :dancer:

@galuszkak Yeah, it's over. :-(

But it sounds like we're going to have two regularly schedule hangouts each week, so you can get in next time. :-)
