Create a regular informal forum where developers present and share their design ideas
Get feedback on design before anything is too deeply settled in code
Expose everyone in the team to other aspects of Chandler than the components they work on
Spread Python coding best practices
Regular Geek Talks
Regular time slot alloted : every Monday, 2pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
Developers will bid for the next time slot and propose a discussion subject
The length of the discussion will vary depending of the subject between 1 and 2 hours
Philippe will receive the bids and coordinate the scheduling (reserve the room, conf call bridge, etc...)
Format
Short presentation by developer calling the talk
No formal presentation (no slides) unless really necessary, just demo and code (please use VNC so the remote people can follow the talk)
Focus on challenges presented by the problem at hand and the various solutions evaluated
List set of questions that needs to be answered by the group
Discussion and Q&A
Rules
Those discussions are not a private forum intended to bypass the dev list discussions, rather, they are a way to jump start the discussions and thoughts
No final decision will be taken during those discussions
Someone (default Philippe) will be the note taker and will :
Take notes during the meeting
Send notes to the dev list after the meeting
Post notes to the Wiki if appropriate
People (staff or not) who can't attend the talk will then have an opportunity to voice their opinion on the dev list
When appropriate, the discussion will form the initial kernel of an implementation spec or doc or proposal that will be published to the Wiki and open for dev list discussion
Topics for Geek Talks
Talks can be on any subject related to Chandler code architecture and design
Developers are encouraged to propose subjects that would help them make better design decisions
Python and wxWidgets (or any external code we rely upon) technical discussions are perfectly fair game
