Help wanted: program management team

Okay, so here’s where we seem to have landed:

Communication

Meetings

We’ll use the existing FPgM office hours to start.

Synchronous

We’d like our own channel. Ideally, we’d go directly to the new Fedora Matrix server. But it doesn’t exist yet, so that makes it tough. I’d like to start with a native Matrix channel, but with an IRC-side channel for anyone who isn’t using Matrix (I’m thinking particularly of people who aren’t on our team who might want to drop by and ask questions).

Asynchronous

Let’s go with a Discussion category.

Tools and process

  • How do we track work?
  • How should other teams ask for help?
    • Open an issue in the repo above
  • How do people get assigned to a request?
    • As a team, we discuss matching skills and interests and select a person by consensus. If there’s no consensus, I’ll assign someone.

If there are no objections to the above as a starting point, I’ll get the processes started on Monday and we can start soliciting help requests for the community and getting everyone up to speed.

I know it’s short notice, but I’d be happy to do a short “hi everyone” call after the release party on Friday. We can meet 2021-04-30T18:30:00Z in Google Meet.
