I realized while putting our Q1 quarterly review slides together this
week that I was committing all of us to work without a support plan to
help make sure that things keep moving. I've setup a meeting every
other week for each of the big ticket goals (Puppet4, Neutron, Dumps,
Promote tools, Documentation, Labsdb).
The point of these meetings will just be a quick check-in on the
recently completed and upcoming work towards the goal. We can use this
time to break the larger work down into more manageable chunks, talk
about blockers, and celebrate the things that are getting done. Its a
lot easier to reason about how much each of us can accomplish in two
weeks than in 3 months.
I'll be in all 6 meetings (joy!), but most of you are optional on all
of them that are not your goals. Everyone is welcome in any and all of
the meetings, but I don't want to make any of you show up to something
that you won't find useful. I "volunteered" Quiddity to join me for
the Labsdb meeting, but he can tell me to go find another person to
make sure I do my project. :)
