Hi all, QGIS community meeting has started in Madeira ! https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/DeveloperMeetingMadeira2018
As part of the event, we have some meetings scheduled (see link above). I initially wanted to have a meeting on how to improve release management, the way we deal with user expectations and associated topics, but I think it is the opportunity to have a more general brainstorming session. I propose to do a collaborative SWOT analysis of the project, to see if we can see some emerging patterns needing actions from the community. SWOT [1] is simple yet interesting : four areas in a 2x2 matrix, where you can write the items you think are important in terms of : - Strengths - Weaknesses - Opportunities - Threats You have to consider what is helpful to achieve the objective of the project, what is harmful, if it has an internal origin, or external origin. We have a big paper hanging in the meeting's room. Everyone is invited to add post-its to it with their items in the right square. Feel free to add your own, change or modify them later on, discuss items with others.. It is a basis for reflection and discussion. If you are remote, do not hesitate to drop a virtual post-it note and we will put it on the paper. You can use IRC [2], the gitter channel [3], or answer to this email. Be concise, but do not censor yourself ! All voices are good to hear, raise yours ! We will have a meeting at the community meeting on Friday 16:00 local time, to discuss about the items gathered, try to summarize some ideas and then write a report. Do not hesitate to ask any question regarding this exercise, and let's get started :-) Vincent [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis [2] #qgis on freenode ( http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#qgis ) [3] https://gitter.im/qgis/hackfest _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
