Calum:
I've just created a table in the Agenda section, summarising the topics that have come up so far. Would it make sense for people to put their names against the topics they're most interested in, and note whether they'd be willing/able to lead discussion on that topic, so we can start trying to figure out an agenda from there?
Thanks for doing this, it looks great. Also, the new logo for the hackfest looks nice. Kudos!
Of course, feel free to add/edit the list of topics as well, but probably best to send a note to the list as well if you do that, so people who've already noted their interests can update them if necessary. <http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/London2010/GoalsAndAgenda> I'm assuming that we'll probably want to split up into at least two groups for at least part of the time, so we can work on the things we're most interested in. Never having been to a hackfest before, I have no idea if this is what normally happens, however :)
Yes, this is normal, and it would make a lot of sense for this hackfest since there are a lot of quite diverse things to work on. There are a lot of diverse topics to discuss. For example: GNOME 3, updating the HIG, and working towards improving the way the GNOME community approaches doing usability tests are quite different (such as from an infrastructure perspective). Since I anticipate that some people will have an interest in only certain areas, it makes sense to break into groups to work on each topic. There are obviously areas of cross-over (such as how to update the HIG for GNOME 3.0 specific topics like clutter) where it makes sense to converge again, but I doubt those with a focus on GNOME 3.0 would want to be engaged in the gory details of how to update the HIG for non-GNOME 3.0 specific issues, for example.
