Hi, Dear JavaBlackBelt administrators, moderators and contributors.
Our community has made it's way nicely these last couple of years.
You have your big part of responsibility in this great success.
JBB is based on the concept of contributor (every user is a potential contributor to the content).
Very quickly in the history of JBB we introduced the concept of moderators.
Later, some administrators came to help the moderators.
Today, I'd like to organize our activities a more "project oriented way".
By activities, I mostly mean producing quality content and helping others doing so.
By project oriented way, I suggest iterations with a scrum board and regular meetings. I also propose to work less on a "role" basis (an administrator assigned to a role, for example), and more on a "story/task" basis. That way you can switch from one kind of activity to another, and also slow down / speed up as your available volunteer time changes.
I'd like to organize our first on-line meeting next Monday, May 26, at 19h - Brussels time (it should be 9h AM in California and 22h30 in India; check
timezones on ZebraMap.com).
Should you want to participate, I propose you to send a mail to JavaBlackBelt dot admin at gmail dot com with your skype ID (you'll need skype installed).
For those not being able to take part to the meeting but wanting to contribute or just being curious, I'll post a some notes after the meeting.
See you!
John Rizzo.
