1.0 Overview
Bboards:
- org.acs.architecture - Internal bboard for
communication and tracking.
- org.acs.architecture.clippings - Divisionally
readable 'news' bboard. We encourage people to subscribe and read this
bboard.
- org.acs.architecture.notes - Divisionally readable
bboard where we post "public" meeting notes. We encourage people to
subscribe and read this bboard.
2.0 Standup Process
The "standup" process is to help the Architecture Group quickly
discuss or "triage" topics. We will meet at least once a week. People
traveling are expecting to be able to call in for these meetings.
- General discussion items are sent to
org.acs.architecture. Items can be classifed as follows:
- CONSIDER - Items for consideration or to keep in the back of your
mind. The poster does not believe it is worth discussing at the
meeting at this time but others should be informed. Other members of
the Archticture group may decide to escalate this item to AGENDA.
- AGENDA - Item should be discussed but at this point is not a high
priority item.
- CRITICAL - An immediate meeting for this topic is required. A
separate meeting may need to be called.
- There will be weekly "standup" meetings to discuss these topics.
- We will rotate who becomes the note taker.
- The note taker will take the discussion items posted to the
bboard, create an agenda, and post that to the bboard no later than 2
hours before the meeting. Since we rotate note takers, they can
arrange the agenda to make their issues come first to ensure they get
discussed.
- The first part of the meeting is to approve the meeting minutes
from the last meeting. The note taker is responsible for posting last
meeting's discussion will be posted to
org.acs.architecture.notes.
- At the end of the meeting, the note taker will be sure to note
that items were not covered in the agenda and post the meeting notes
to org.acs.architecture.
