Hi Andrew, well, we do not have data yet as the global team has been established just few months ago. The few things I’ve noticed so far is that I found difficult to engage people in FLOSS projects. …to the point that I had to take an external contractor to contribute to one of them. Regarding internal projects, we are currently heavily working with Terraform and we do have multiple modules (each with its repository)… and it is hard to enforce some diligence on not breaking the code (waiting for CI tests to complete before pushing to master) or other things that a WoW definition should help with… which is why we are defining one. More in general I’m curious to hear about coordination between different timezones, as from time to time we still have to jump on a plane and get face 2 face with the people… as the channels like emails/slack/confluence/ghangout are not sufficient to build trust and belonging & engagement feelings to the organisation and the project. I just went to a meet-up here in Berlin, where someone just gave a very holistic speech on how pink and beautiful is his organisation where everybody is proactive, feels responsible, code is forked and distributed in multiple branch of the organisation and all merges back seamlessly… I have some hard time believing that… so, I’m more interested to hear experiences from others where things didn’t work and what other approaches have been attempted.
