1: Introduction to the Group [Aug. 6, 2011, 10:01 p.m.]
Introduction to the group and each other
Communication
- As Sean suggested, let's use this platform as much as possible in order to "eat our own dogfood"
Schedule
- Feedback: Is giving a week to each of the tasks except for pairing good at one week? If you get ahead of others, that's okay too.
- This group will officially last about a month, but help is still available via the p2pu-dev IRC channel and p2pu-dev mailing list.
Definition of Open Source
- From Sean: definition from the Open Source Initiative
Definition of Lernanta
Lernanta is the new platform for P2PU. We are building on the codebase from Batucada, a rewrite of drumbeat.org by Mozilla. It uses Python, Django, Javascript, HTML, and CSS.
Meet/Greet
Please see the sign-up task to see our introductions. If you don't have one there because you were accepted before that feature, please post a little about yourself and what you hope to achieve with this group. We can use that to pair up later. Also, I'll probably be using that to suggest bugs for you to fix :)
Writing Task:
Please post as a comment.
What operating systems and experiences you have, if you haven't already listed it in your introductory message on the sign-up task.
Is giving a week to each of the tasks except for coding good at one week?
Also, how do you define open source? If you have good links, that's great. If you have experience, please share it. What are its strengths and weaknesses? Especially from the viewpoint of someone new?
