Dear all Re: In the Local Team thread, of Jonathan being concerned about people contacting daytrip options without his knowledge, and Tammy on this thread being concerned that the artwork is not perfect, and talking about deadlines.
To me this raises three important issues to take note of, and this is regardless if we use a project management tool or not: * We need people to feel comfortable doing stuff. If we have to wait on deadlines to be reached to get access to something, or wait for people to tell us what to do, or worry who we potentially upset by doing something, things will never get done. * We are not each other's clients, we are a team, we need access to things before they look nice. Developers are likely more comfortable with this than designers, but that doesn't change that it needs to work this way. This will *always* be an issue with multi-disciplinary teams, and we need to be aware and sensitive to it, but I've given up finding some miracle way to make it work without hiccups. Take responsibility and find help. Don't just wait and get frustrated. * If you ask for feedback and don't get any, ping someone who you feel is the most relevant and ask them. If this person is fine with it, go ahead. I am not that person unless you can't find someone. Moving forward, I suggest we try really hard to let people know what we're doing. If you have already, or plan to contact a daytrip option, for example, then do that, but let us know - especially Jonathan who has now expressed interest in heading this up. The place I am trying to have as the main notice board is the weekly agenda titanpad [1]. At least let us know there, and then, if you want let us know on IRC or email or where you feel comfortable. If you do it on a wiki, put the link to the wiki on titanpad. (And it's not a big deal to contact daytrip people more than once, it's their job to deal with us. Rather that and feeling a bit awkward than things falling through the cracks.) regards B [1] - https://debconf16-capetown.titanpad.com/2 _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
