QA (public)

I asked other people, e.g. attendees of the SUSE Agile Beer about their experiences and the common response was that there must be mandatory synchronous daily meetings. Discussed with our Scrum Master what we can do. We see mandatory daily video calls as an effective measure but we don't want to enforce the team to do this unless we have to. As a potential alternative we decided that we will run an experiment for some weeks to have next to the "alert duty" another rotating role of "moderation duty". The person doing alert duty in the next week has "moderation duty". The duty consists of ensuring https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqatests/wiki#How-we-work-on-tickets in particular: On a daily base ensure that we have an update from every team member that is expected to be present this day. If a person actively contributes to the daily meeting in video call or provided an update related to backlog tasks in chat then this is already ensured. We expect that this of course is an additional task with the corresponding time investment. The expected time invested per day is in the range of 3-15m, not more, so accounting for 15m-1h15m during duty week. Even in the worst case of a 30h part time worker investing said 15m every day that accounts for only 5% of weekly work time so no significant impact on contributions is expected (e.g. 1-9 tickets vs. 1-10 tickets). This new rule will be effective immediately with a wiki update and announcement over chat but of course we will support in the implementation and be gracious in the ramp-up time :)

put the information on the wiki but now can't read the wiki anymore. https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/qa/wiki/Tools yields "An error occurred. …Faithfully yours, nginx.", reported in #105518 . mkittler is conducting the duty role for this week, cdywan as SM should monitor on the 2nd-level if the process works. Let's see how this goes over time.

I guess we have to work with daily moderation and no actual mandatory daily meetings.
