Hi, everyone! It's that time of week again - time to take over the worl- I mean, time to gather 'round for our weekly community testing meeting! Remember that our new, 1-hour-later meeting time takes effect starting this week, so it's 2300 UTC / 6pm EST in #olpc-meeting.
As usual, the agenda is at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_testing_meetings/2008-11-20 - please add things if there's stuff you want the whole community test group to chime in on in real-time. Also, check out http://www.deborahschultz.com/deblog/2006/07/the_law_of_two_.html. If you're pressed for time, you can stop reading now. This meeting is a little different from the ones we've had before, though - so please read on if you can. I'm always trying to improve this meeting so that it's the best use of everybody's time. At any given moment in the meeting hour, everyone should be engaged and getting something out of it - with all the work you're putting in, it's the least we can do to try to make that happen. Conversely, it means that if you're there and don't announce yourself as a lurker, I'm going to assume you're listening and /want/ to be constantly engaged, and act accordingly. ;) What this means for this week is that I'm going to try pinging people individually for status updates and blocker-busting wishlists for their projects, since that's usually a two-party conversation that leaves the rest of the room idle. (I'll make sure that project status updates hit this mailing list - ditto for "how to run a testing party" stuff, let me know if there's something I've forgotten.) Instead of status updates, we'll spend our time on decision-making, discussions, reviews, and brainstorms - things that really need the whole group present. We'll exercise the Law of Two Feet (you read the link above, right?) If you have something that could benefit from the whole group going at it at once, please add it to the agenda as well; we'll find some way to make time and still end within an hour. Let's see how that goes for this week and then adjust accordingly - I'll be around for half an hour before and after the meeting for feedback, to chat, for questions, and... whatever else (my default mode is "telling bad math jokes," so please come give me something else to do). Your friendly neighborhood 1cc-QA-hax0r, -Mel PS: Remember folks, it's literally my *job* to serve you and make sure you can do what *you* want to do within OLPC testing. Please take advantage of this and ask for stuff you want! (I think I'm out of ponies this week, but I might have an extra dragon.) _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
