Notes, Takeaways and Action Items

Today

Notes

  • Rebecca reported on posting tasks on QMO. This is an experiment
  • WebQA takeaway is that Server and two quick tasks is what most people want
  • 1:1 ratio Community: Full time staff on WebQA if we can the force multiplier QA will prosper
  • Being more visible:
    • Report what you are working on
    • Report what you are worried about
    • "devwanted"
    • if you already do it, do it more
  • QA'ing the requirements is what Krupa is doing, and what Web API plans on doing.
  • We should record the weekly staff meeting since it is likely that we will not find a time that will work well for everyone.

Action items

  • Create wiki page for team mailing lists [marcia]
  • jhammink driving the flashing station clarification
  • geo to send mail to tchung regarding goals
