The technical miniconference (AKA XO Camp) has been rescheduled from November, 2008 to early January, 2009. The agenda and exact dates are under construction at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XOcamp_2
Future feature requests and roadmap goals are being collected at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap This page collects all well motivated feature ideas without regard to priority. After a period of brainstorming and discussion, we will choose the most important and update them with more detail (i.e. requirements and specifications). Then we will scope the work effort for each and pick target releases. Some features will take longer than one release to deliver. Feature requests by country are tracked at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_requests The two pages will be tied together so that every feature has one or more countries identified as target users. ***************************** Status of last weeks goals: 1 - Update Feature Roadmap page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap Get everything on the page (especially field input gathered this week). Work with engineers to move their stuff up to main requirements section and start adding specifications. Add more details in countries section. Prepare to link country requests to requirements. GS - Partially done. Thanks to Eben, the feature roadmap page was redesigned! Many features were added and country requests were updated with input from people who spent time in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Haiti, and Peru. Please add your well defined and/or user motivated feature requests to the page. For engineers, please move your ideas up from the Priorities_from_Engineering section so that every piece of work has a place in the roadmap. Include links to e-mail threads or other web pages as needed and try to separate requirements (what it should do for the user) and design/specification (what it actually will do in terms of interface and how it can be coded). 2 - Make first pass agenda for Mini-conference. Update proposals page as needed: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XOcamp_2 GS - Partially done. The miniconference has been postponed to early January. We reviewed 1/2 the conference proposals and will do the rest next week. 3 - Update deployments page. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployments GS - Done. I updated the status of all the large deployments. Smaller ones are still listed but not updated. 4 - Start writing detailed use cases, complete ideas for using XO/XS (probably a requirements definition for supporting "learning projects"), and presentations for mini-conference. GS - Not done. Started a brief thread on asynchronous collaboration but haven't gotten to real requirements or use cases yet. ***************** Goals for next week. 1 - Continue prioritization of Mini-conference proposals and start filling in next level of detail for each. 2 - Update roadmap page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap Follow up with deployments to verify priorities. Get a second level of detail from deployments on what they need. 3 - Start writing detailed use cases, complete ideas for using XO/XS (probably a requirements definition for supporting "learning projects"), and presentations for mini-conference.
