| <h2 class="underlined_10">Overview</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <p> |
| On the second Friday of each month we have a 24-hour get-together using |
| the dev mailing list, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and other collaborative |
| tools, to work on Forrest development and get to know each other. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| ForrestFriday starts at 06:00 UTC (6am Greenwich Mean Time in London) |
| and lasts for 24 hours. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The next event will take place on <strong>?? ?? 2006</strong>. (Note: |
| See recent mail discussion - not happening until further notice.) See |
| <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2006&month=07&day=14&hour=6&min=0&sec=0">start |
| time</a> and |
| <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=14&month=07&year=2006&p1=136&p2=48&p3=176&p4=240&p5=224&p6=213">zone |
| overlap</a>. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <a name="purpose"></a> |
| <h2 class="underlined_10">Purpose</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <p> |
| The day is devoted to working collaboratively to solve particular issues |
| and getting to know each other. In the weeks leading up to each event, |
| decide on the dev mailing list what the main topic should be. Probably |
| something that needs groups work (e.g. moving the internal format to be |
| XHTML2). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There will also be an effort to clean up the <a href="issues.html">Issue |
| Tracker</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The dev mailing list is still the main form of communication and all |
| decisions are made there. The IRC channel is to support that and provide |
| a place for near real-time discussion. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The IRC channel is definitely not open continuously. It is only for |
| temporary communications at this monthly meeting. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This is not a user help forum, please do that on the user mailing list. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <a name="how"></a> |
| <h2 class="underlined_10">How to participate</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| All volunteers are welcome. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Get an IRC client (some are mentioned at <a href="http://irchelp.org/">irchelp.org</a>) |
| and see <a href="http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html">IRC Tutorial</a>. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Read the dev mailing list. That is where any decisions will be |
| made and the name of the IRC channel will be announced. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| At the start time, connect to irc.freenode.net and join the channel. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| The discussion will be logged, summarised, and added to our |
| "<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/events/forrest-friday/">events</a>" |
| SVN repository. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| ASF committers should try to use a nickname that matches their ASF |
| committer id. |
| Please also apply for an "IRC hostname |
| <a href="http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks">cloak</a>". |
| This hides your machine hostname. It also enables ASF oversight |
| processes to ensure that project PMC members are participating. |
| Instructions are in our SVN at |
| <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/docs/freenode-cloaks.txt">https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/docs/freenode-cloaks.txt</a> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| See notes about the <a href="plan/index.html">topic of the day</a>. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| We hope to also have a Lenya instance. This will enable a "whiteboard" |
| for the day, and also be the first step for later Forrest-Lenya integration. |
| </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| |
| <a name="op"></a> |
| <h2 class="underlined_10">Notes for channel operator</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| Send a reminder email to dev- prior to the event. Send one about a |
| week beforehand so that the Topic can be decided and to remind people |
| that it is happening (it comes around quickly). Send another the day |
| before the event. Then do the following on the day ... |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| The first person to join the IRC channel is the operator. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| See the irchelp.org |
| <a href="http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/changuide.html">guide</a> |
| for channel operators. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Make sure that your irc client is creating a logfile. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Decide on a channel name. Join it a bit before the start time, then do |
| this setup ... |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Set the channel mode: <span class="codefrag">/mode +n</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Declare today's topic: <span class="codefrag">/topic ForrestFriday: XHTML2 core and Jira cleanup</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Ask cheche to start the logger bot and tell the URL for the live logfile. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Make sure that your client is creating a logfile. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Begin a summary text file in the "forrest-events" SVN. Committers |
| should add to this during the day. Don't leave it until the end. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Announce to the dev mailing list that the channel is open and tell the channel name |
| and the URL for the live log. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| During the session, occasionally refer to the live logfile URL. People can read |
| what they missed, and also refer to previous discussion by stating the time that |
| it occurred. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| At the end, everyone leaves the channel and it will automatically close. |
| Ask cheche to stop the logger bot. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Add the logfile to the Forrest Events repository. |
| </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
