I'd like to get an idea of who is interested in the weekend's
festivities.
To remind you, we're meeting this Saturday at 11am, and will hack
until we've finished or have fallen asleep, whichever comes first
(that probably means early that evening). The overall goal is to
implement some fun & functional dynamic features for our group's
website; specific projects mentioned have been an event planner, a
membership roster/profile/blog, and a homepage & RSS feeds to tie it
all together. It will be a Rails app, not surprisingly.
Given the limited amount of time, we want the development to be very
agile: light but effective planning/envisioning, quick iterations
and integration, and -- most importantly! -- something that works at
the end of the day.
Folks with Agile/XP backgrounds are definitely encouraged to bring
their skills & experience, but if that's unfamiliar to you, don't worry.
If you can only come for a part of the day, perhaps you could meet up
with us at the beginning and help envision the project.
Interested? Please let us know...
- What is the chance of you attending the codefest?
__ will definitely attend
__ can attend, but only for part of the time
__ may attend, but not sure
_X_ would like to but cannot
I have family flying in on Saturday.
- Do you have strong feelings about potential locations or
environments that would influence whether you would participate?
- Can you host the codefest? This would work out best if you're
in central Portland, have a net connection (wired or wireless) we
could all share, and have enough tables/chairs/couches for
comfortable work. Being near a cafe/restaurant where we could escape
to would be preferable.
- If you're attending, will you be bringing your own computer?
(Depending on where we meet, you may be able to bring a desktop
machine.)
- Does your computer need an Ethernet connection, or will
wireless be okay?
- Does your computer have the Subversion client installed, with
WebDAV support (type "svn --version" and look for "ra_dav")? (If you
don't have much experience with Subversion, don't worry -- it's not
hard, and we'll teach you.)
- Robby has kindly offered a veritable toolchest of options for
us, including a development website with Rails, a PostgreSQL
database, a Subversion repository, and a development mailing list
(for commits, at least). What other tools or setup would you like to
see?
Would it be safe to go ahead and nominate John as the initial gatekeeper
for the SVN repository? He'll be able to hand out user accounts for
svn+http (webdav0.,
Robby
