Interteam Coordination
Abstract: How to be more transparent, and how to build trust. Also, how can we better handle the fact that we are 40 people working on 30 projects?
Current State
- IRC
- email lists
- voice calls
- video calls
- lack of data exchange between mediums
- single points of contact (spoke/hub models where spokes get very overloaded)
- point to point contacts (make it easy to find people)
- file sharing as needed in multiple ways (git/wiki)
- multiple formats/repositories of documentation (developer-friendly vs. non-dev-friendly)
Proposal
- tor xmpp server on tor infrastructure
- not federated
- tied to tor's LDAP directory
- hidden service address
- mumble server on tor infrastructure
- capture meetings as notes to wiki or mailing list
- piratepad server on tor infra
- team reports instead of all individual reports to tor-reports list
- weekly reports?
- every other week reports?
- differing working styles and apprehension about bringing up issues with different people
- identity points of contact between teams
List of proposals
- conflict resolution plan/process
- identify point of contact between teams
- ultimate, everything comes to Andrew and he bridges teams/people
