>> Hi Devs,
>>
>> As you might already know, I’m co-organizing a “Community Development
>> and Marketing” devroom [0] at FOSDEM 2013 [1]. I would like to propose a
>> 30 minute talk for this devroom, about how we organize/centralize our
>> infrastructure via XWiki applications, such as the IRC bot, the SVN and
>> GIT applications etc, thanks to XWiki’s powerful development
>> capabilities. More precisely:
>>
>>
>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> Title:
>> Coping with the proliferation of tools within your community
>>
>> Abstract:
>> Following modern practices for software development and community
>> management requires a plethora of tools, from source code handling to
>> means of communication. Every tool has its purpose, and is necessary for
>> things to run smoothly. Discarding any of them from the workflow is not
>> an option. Yet, keeping track of everything can be overwhelming,
>> especially for new members of your community who have to learn not just
>> the internals of the code, but also the chock-full of tools around it,
>> and the rules associated with each of them.
>>
>> One of the solutions we found for our community is to implement a
>> “developers’ wiki”, where most of the tools are either integrated, or,
>> for the more simple ones, implemented directly in our wiki. In this talk
>> I’ll quickly explain how a development wiki works. I’ll then present our
>> wiki-centered infrastructure, which brings together the SCM repository,
>> mailing lists, issue trackers, the IRC/XMPP channels, even lower level
>> tools for virtual machine management and resource consumption
>> monitoring, and offers simple solutions for blog and forum hosting,
>> voting, extensions hosting, and much more. Finally, I’ll show how this
>> approach for infrastructure management improves the workflows within our
>> community and facilitates the integration of newcomers.
>>
>>
>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> Please let me know if you have any comments/suggestions.
>>
>> Also, do consider submitting other proposals relevant for the theme of
>> the devroom. The deadline is this Sunday, December 23rd.
