 Hi dude,
 
 Not sure whether this is the topic for kde-community, but here it goes... :)
  for this years Open Academy project, we have decided to use SCRUM. I
  have looked at tools that could help us implement the various practices
  and found Icescrum (http://www.icescrum.org/). I installed it on my
  own infrastructure and so far I'm very happy with it.
 
 We have had a chance to play around with IceScrum during the Plasma Active
 development. People weren't really satisfied with it. It was fun to drag the
 stickers around, but it was problematic from time to time.

Was younger at the time though and raised quality issues. It got several major 
versions since then, so might not be valid anymore. Never been a huge fan of 
its usability but it rocks on metrics.

  Is there interest from the membership? Should we maybe look into having
  a central instance of Icescrum (or an equivalent) on the KDE
  infrastructure?
 IIRC, there is (was?) something in the works regarding this. I remember that
 a few systems were being tested half a year ago, with the intention to
 choose one for Plasma (as the guinea pig, and later other projects), but I
 haven't heard anything regarding that since.

I'm currently anno^Wdiscussing with the sysadmins to find something. Right now 
testing kanbanzilla, the move to gitlab might also provide a potential 
solution.

So yeah... still pretty much in the work.

Regards.

 (I'm hoping somebody will remember the actual issues we have had, since I 
 don't :) )
Yeah, I heard about that from Aaron as well.
So far, I'm still in the stage were moving stickers around is entirely
enough to keep me entertained, so I'll have to wait and see. The online
reviews are quite positive, fwiw.

Would be very interested about this.

 Would be very interested about this.

Me as well :)

I don't care that much about scrum sprints, but it would be really useful for 
task organization, and progress tracking.

Cheerio,
Ivan
