[p2pu-dev] tech call notes march 28 2012

[Zuzel VP]

 Mar 28

   - FYI -- chat about p2pu api today 7pm BST (Londan time) on #p2pu-dev


   - Hand-over of challenge development work


   - Trello board with challenges related work -
   https://trello.com/board/challenge-development-sprints/4ed8ff4175e6467872117dcc


   - Decide which of these John can take over, and which need to go to the
   new learning person


   - For now, John takes over all cards - revisit when we have a learning
   lead in place


   - Backlog of todos, full of stuff that we want to do but were not
   prioritized


   - notes and ideas on cards, color coded by progress


   - Badge Submissions form - will summarize feedback on a pad and link it
   from the card


   - How are the sprints divided?


   - Roughly grouped into 2-week sprints (Zuzel estimated)


   - Many cards cover small-ish changes / improvements to badges and
   Challenge functionality


   - Red lable indicates bigger change


   - Are there any cards that are not relevant anymore?


   - Most should be relevant still, maybe a few that aren't anymore


   - Creation Interface


   - https://trello.com/card/challenge-creation/4ec0f020c137ff072a5d8afa/7


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/creationpage


   - Next steps:


   - Review cards on board


   - make sure they get scheduled


   - Schedule upcoming development


   - Add more deadlines to the upcoming trello board cards


   - Swap cards if we think the specs for them will not be ready on time
   for the corresponding dev sprint


   - What are we going to be working on after 'Conversion Tracking'?


   - Challenge Creation - John to get it ready if there's anything left
   before it goes to zuzel


   - Preparations for Dirk


   - https://trello.com/board/dirk-s-onboarding/4f71b92632270bc6271076ed


   - Dev call time / How can we make Google calendar remember?


   - Please go into the detailed view and check which time zone it stores
   it in (I tried changing to US ET time, but if I check now it shows me South
   African time again)


   - Today's time is correct for me, next week is also correct.


   - Can we set all of our meeting times in GMT?


   - Google calendar has it's own mind. ;-) It controls you. You will do
   what it says, when it says to do it.


   - Zuzel will own this, everyone goes by what the calendar says.


   - Where to add ideas for future improvements (for example, just shipped
   community review - we are getting some feedback now)?


   - Dev board, two columns -> "development" board? ->
   https://trello.com/board/development/4f3d1ecc3a1fad867ad57e76


   - Known Issues


   - Ideas


   - Please update settings so P2PU members can join the board, oops -
   fixed now


   - Some stuff in pipeline is not dev stuff but will require some
   development work at some point


   - Project Pipeline board should be focused on development ->
   "Development Pipeline" we called it this before, but changed the name...
   can change back to be clear. We're not good at naming :( (we're good at
   iterating ;-) way to put a positive spin on it.


   - Global Community Badges


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/p/communitybadges


   - How do we measure how we change behavior?


   - We can easily measure how many people have received a given badge but
   what kinds of things will change?


   - Mostly interested in how badges change behavior / motivation /
   participation


   - We probably can't track this in much detail yet, but would be good to
   start thinking about it as we launch the badges


   - Probably not quantitative, but can get some qualitative questioning of
   the people who give and receive the badges.


   - Collect feedack through an opt-in survey


   - We already have low badge issuing, by adding another step we will
   further discourage people.


   - I was thinking of putting it in the site when the action happens. ("we
   need your feedback on this, click here to take a short survey or use
   kissmetrics/etc to ask the questions inline")


   - Does the survey exists or will it need to be prepared?


   -  i made one already for the pilot in our survey monkey account


   - We can re-use some of the pilot questions, but we make it fewer
   questions and more specific


   - Follow up with me separately - need to involve a few other people in
   this


   - Did we decide on launching 1 badge across the site? Helpful Feedback?
   Better Name?


   - I'm up for as many as you like


   - Let's start with 1 - many reasons to be thoughtful


   - (ok as long as you guys plan to release some more in the future :))


   - it will look lonely on the give a badge dialog but ok


   - Is there a card for adding this badge to the site? Global Community
   Badges
   https://trello.com/card/global-community-badges/4ed8ff4175e6467872117dcc/25


   - link: https://trello.com/c/by1OLfb5  (I will send the text to zuzel-
   john will send image)


   - Helpful Feedback? Better Name? you guys said that we need a better name


   - I like it - do you want to change? (ok, any objections?) one, two ,
   three, sold! KA-CHING!


   - ok.....anything else?


   - good - thank you!
