Subject: [cosmos-dev] Proposal:
swap Architecture Call and Community Callmeetings
As you all know, we currently have the architecture
call scheduled for Wednesdays at 10AM and the community call for Thursdays at
10AM. On today's arch. call, I inadvertently brought up status issues
that were best suited for the community call. But it is also easy to see
why this could happen. On Wednesdays, that is our first opportunity in 6
days to get together as a community, and also the first following the weekly
integration build. It is natural to have a backlog of status and
procedural topics that require immediate attention. Given that it's also
natural to discuss what we've done before we discuss what we're going to do, I
think it would be more efficient and logical to have the community calls on
Wednesdays and the architecture calls on Thursdays.
Architecture
calls are often concerning long-term technical issues in thinking ahead, often
to the next iteration. Community calls typically are discussing
short-term or immediate concerns. For this reason, I don't think we risk
the opposite problem of architecture topics creeping into the community calls
if they were held on Wednesdays.
Of
course the one thing this might cause a problem for is if the DC/DV teams
couldn't also move their meetings to Thursdays, since the Wednesday meeting
block is currently 2 hours. But I don't see why we couldn't continue
having DC/DV topics at 11am on Wednesdays, and architecture calls on Thursdays
would be blocked off for 1 hour.
I
know we've moved things around quite a bit in the past. But given our new
weekly process with the timing of integration builds, and just the general
sequential flow of how we work, making the change seems to make a lot of sense.
To
summarize the proposal, in "This Week in COSMOS" format:
Tuesdays, 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. ET (1 hour) - SDD Call
Tuesdays,
9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. ET (1 hour) - Release Engineering Call
Tuesdays,
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET (1 hour) - Resource Modeling Call
Wednesdays,
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET (1 hour) - Community Call
Wednesdays
or Thursdays (whichever is best), 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET (1 hours) - Data Collection and Data Visualization
Call
Thursdays,
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET (1 hour) - Architecture
Thoughts?
Concerns? Agree/disagree?
Thanks,
David
