Technical Community Manager

Priorities

Recruiting: Short - 1) ESW partnership, 2) Academic Tour 2014 Plan / Outreach, 3) Other recruiting: military / unemployed / academic clubs

Product Development: 1) ID tasks for all future efforts in Github, 2) Review & scrub protocols for design process

Issues

  • Even though we aren’t using PM, we still need a schedule communicated to us
  • We are asking people to submit work multiple times: work logs, contributor log
  • Academic Outreach -- concern we are asking to come visit to do outreach & requiring a high level of commitment to our organization without relationship building
  • Product Dev schedule for 1Q14 - would like to set up a team for the gasifier and invite interested people to OSE
  • Open Source Ecology Italy -- way forward

Help

  • Review and scrub protocols so they are useful to collaborator; need templates for products
  • ID risks to our product development
  • Do we have design sprint this weekend? Need agenda. Need Development Status and Needs to be updated each week.
  • Need access to product development boards. Example: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Lasersaur_Overall_Machine_Development_Board

Technical Community Manager

This is what the Lasersaur PDB looks like because it is not shared to the public. OSE Staff needs to be able to edit these as well.
