Overview of the work state - started and unfinished topics
Team structure
In September, we presented a team structure proposal, according to which Joomla Accessibility Team consists of three components:
Advisory Subteam
Audit & Testing Subteam
Implementation Subteam.
We decided to add also
Accessibility Promotion Subteam
The point is not to create new beings, but to provide everyone with a clear opportunity to determine their place in the team and to ensure the efficiency of managing the entire team.
The team will have a structure when
there will be a group of people who will be assigned to subteam (at least 3, we hope)
subteam will have an official leader/coordinator
Subteam coordinator duties:
subteam organization
subteam meetings organization
team leaders meetings participation
Idea:
JAT members declare to belong to at least one of 4 subteams, declarations deadline: 01.03.2018.
during next week (02 - 08.03.2018) members of each subteam will meet to choose a subteam coordinator. The dates of the meetings will be set with Justyna Michallek.
Team hierarchy
team leader, team leader assistant, subteam leaders (coordinators).
Meetings
Idea:
There must be a fixed date for team and subteams meetings. The date should not be changed (changes disorganize work).
The team leadership should meet:
at least once a month at "official" meetings, summarizing the work in the previous month (report of subteams on achievements) and defining the work plan (tasks) for the next month; these meetings should be reported on joomla.org
once a week or once two-weeks at "working" meetings, to consider and decide on current issues (discussing development directions, planning specific tasks, summarizing them).
Idea:
"Working" meetings will take place every week at Thursday at 4:30 pm UTC+1
"Official" meetings will always take place in the first Thursday of the month at 4:30 pm UTC+1
The subteams should meet:
*once a week or once two-weeks at "working" meetings, to consider and decide on current issues (discussing development directions, planning specific tasks, summarizing them).
in the next three months give at least 15h/month (3h/week) of work
