From the Strategist
·2 mins
If I don’t dump a bunch of stuff that’s on my mind, I’ll never blog again. Here goes:
- Launchpad users within Canonical seem to appreciate the Roadmap. Still receive some complaints about not communicating our plans enough, but not sure what to do.
- Team lead meeting in London went well. Good to see the gang again.
- The Wellington sprint was amazing. Rarely seen a sprint that’s more productive.
- My favourite result: a fixed, pre-planned annual schedule of sprints, including two annual whole-team sprints. I get to meet with my colleagues and have a life and Canonical saves money all at once.
- The team leads like the Ready-to-Code and Launchpad Enhancement Proposal process things.
- Daily builds work is going well. There’s a lot of UI bits to consider, and we’re trying to get the UI correct before building it. Grates my JFDI nerves, but maybe it’s the right approach.
- Challenged the Launchpad team leads to blog once every two weeks about anything, as long as it’s vaguely related to Launchpad. The name of the challenge? Blog like it’s 2006.
- Community Help Rotation sucks and basically no-one really knows what to do about it.
- I’m cautiously excited about using kanban to track our work-in-progress.
- Launchpad needs graphs in the Launchpad application. I think all we need is someone to just add one. I don’t have the time to do it as part of my day job, and I’ve got a backlog of other hacking tasks. Could I help you do it instead?
- I’m going to PyCon.
