“Sprint planning”

@Kyle McCormick

• sprint planning will happen in a week

• carrying over tickets

• https://github.com/orgs/overhangio/projects/3/views/8

• Things hopefully will move forward

Trial

• Have a plan for how we’re going to have people try this thing

  • Retro pattern?

  • Risks:

    • slowing development type while they learn,

    • If failed uptake, lose that team as a team to uptake it

    • improvements promised can lead to slow holding pattern

    • At what point to we have confidence to support it?

  • Do we need a hosted environment to demo

building things

@Jeff Witt (Deactivated)

• many a11y issues are one line fixes, literally

• often the effort of fixing it is way lower than the effort of getting someone else to understand and then fix it

• Jeff would like to get involved with making some of these fixes

• how hard is it to test things locally? does hosted devstack help?

  • the goal of hosted devstack is for it to work easily for anyone

  • not 100% there?

• or tutor?

• Recommended to try devstack
