| mrgoodcat | didn't know phones could get rabies | 13:48 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | THey can, and they need vaccinations | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | Also: morning! | 14:18 |
| cmaloney | Gotta love form letters from recruiters: | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | "Sr. Phyton Developer" | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | "We have an Opening on " Sr. Phyton Developer " longterm position location at Atlanta, GA location." | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | Role: Sr. Phyton Developer | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | Location: Novi,MI | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | Honestly I have NFC what this is. | 15:32 |
| _stink_ | it's a new subatomic particle | 15:48 |
| rick_h | oooh, I <3 pyhsics | 15:50 |
| _stink_ | lulz | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | The posting is also rather precious | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | "Beign able to mapping data" | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | "calculations finance area" | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | And my favorite: | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | "Build something kind of mapping and visulization, reporting tool like cognos, Map Engine. " | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | Unsure if position or word salad. | 16:47 |
| jrwren | indians subcontracting back to USA | 16:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 16:52 |
| greg-g | recommendations for a good task tracker for a volunteer group (they're planning a big conference)? | 18:10 |
| jrwren | trello? | 18:12 |
| rick_h | yea, trello is a basic easy for all kind of start | 18:14 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I'd go with Trello | 18:17 |
| cmaloney | If you have a high bias toward OSS with hosting I'd go with Taiga.io | 18:17 |
| cmaloney | but it's not as intuitive as Trello | 18:17 |
| greg-g | coolio, thanks all | 18:18 |
| * greg-g looks into Taiga.io | 18:18 | |
| cmaloney | Taiga is very developer-oriented though. Things are "user stories" and have points | 18:21 |
| * greg-g nods | 18:22 | |
| jrwren | sounds ghastly. | 18:22 |
| cmaloney | Nah, it's not that bad. | 18:23 |
| greg-g | jrwren: come on, don't you do weekly task estimation with your team using playing cards? | 18:23 |
| cmaloney | They use the pub suds methodology | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | Go to the pub, get some beer, put the tasks on a dart board, and throw darts. ;) | 18:24 |
| jrwren | greg-g: no, and I'd be looking for new work if I did. | 18:25 |
| jrwren | greg-g: scrum is terrible. | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | Scrum is really optimistic | 18:25 |
| jrwren | is it? | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | planning two weeks in advance can be tricky | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | and invariably it makes people feel terrible when they don't meet their optimism two weeks before | 18:26 |
| jrwren | tricky? I'd say for many teams it can be impossible. | 18:26 |
| jrwren | its also very wasteful. | 18:26 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:26 |
| cmaloney | I understand why folks graviate towards it but Scrum always feels grafted on and unnatural | 18:27 |
| jrwren | i don't understand other than believing the sales folks | 18:27 |
| jrwren | am tip: never believe the sales folks. | 18:28 |
| greg-g | isn't it 1:30 over there? | 18:28 |
| cmaloney | yeah | 18:28 |
| greg-g | :P | 18:28 |
| cmaloney | Honestly the biggest issuw with any of these issue tracking boards is getting folks to use it | 18:29 |
| cmaloney | (he says about the Trello board that about half of the MUG board uses) | 18:30 |
| * cmaloney coughs | 18:30 | |
| brousch | cmaloney: Approx. 4 people use the copy of your board I made for GRPUG | 20:34 |
| brousch | Nope, only 3 | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | ? | 21:50 |
| cmaloney | The Trello board? | 21:50 |
| brousch | Yeah | 21:51 |
| brousch | I vopied the mug board for grpug | 21:51 |
| cmaloney | Oh for the topics? | 21:52 |
| cmaloney | Or just the layout? | 21:52 |
| brousch | layout | 22:47 |
| brousch | Then cut out a couple of columns | 22:47 |
| brousch | Having to add people to Trello is the biggest hurdle | 22:48 |
