Description

Motivation

Proposal by okurz after listening to a podcast about Product Owners and Yoga looking to improve self-discipline

Possible benefits and drawbacks

  • pro: both together so people interested in both are interrupted less over the day
  • pro: can motivate people in the infra-subteam to start their day with engagement
  • pro: not the awkward "haste from lunch" time slot for the infra daily
  • con: no synchronisation point in afternoon after the "lunch down"
  • con: follow-up with topics immediately after corresponding daily can be conflicting, e.g. infra-topic can not be followed-up with a person that wants to join the dev daily

Suggestions

  • 1050 CET so it would be 1030-1045 CET for dev daily, 1050-1100 CET? ok, that's again to near to other calls so new proposal: 1020-1035 CET for infra daily, 1035-1050 CET for dev daily
  • Present proposals, discuss alternatives
  • Conduct the experiment for some weeks
  • Change Slack and calendar and wiki entries
  • Make an explicit choice which to do

(Oliver Kurz) @channel I made a ticket https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/158898 out of the proposal to shift dailies. jbaier+mkittler already agreed with the proposal. Please give your thumbs up to show that you agree. If you have better (realistic and reasonable) ideas let's hear 'em as well!

I assume that is this proposal:

so new proposal: 1020-1035 CET for infra daily, 1035-1050 CET for dev daily

I have a feeling that this is not gonna fly.
I still agree with put them back to back but my personal preference would rather be in the afternoon. The morning meetings in combination with other meetings we run at that time makes mornings less productive.

Normally developers in the team should attend one or the other daily so for at least Monday and Tuesday you can still work efficiently after the daily and before your lunch break, whenever you plan to do that. What we should address though, and that was the point of the ticket, is to provide a sync point which is still on or near the beginning of the workday for everyone

because it's the start of the week I would like to come back to https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/158898 another time: From next week on we should try the experiment to run the dailies as proposed: 1020-1035 CET for infra daily, 1035-1050 CET for dev daily

Poll results are – excluding me:

  1. "Keep current schedule of dailies infra 0820-0835Z + dev 0835-0850Z": 4
  2. "Shift back to old": 0
  3. "Let's try something different": 0

so let's stay with the current. I checked the wiki and it does mention the experiment so we can keep the current state for good.
