Meeting Notes

[Karl is this week's notetaker] - jedp jumping in - no karl? [karl was late -- Sorry. Thanks Jed!]

  • fxos help coming for 1.4 (mmayo), but 1.3 blockers have people very busy
  • persona transition plan? (we played well on HN today ... now what?)
    • HN "the project appears to have stalled" - callahad asked for someone with more PR chops to step in - how do we respond?
    • mmayo: intention is to publicly blog our plan by end of week
    • karl volunteers self as copy reader
    • lloyd to write or delegate writing
    • mmayo: we have a pretty complete draft of the other side of it - accounts/sync etc.
    • lloyd to send the whole thing out to id-staff
    • jgruen - sync in onboarding experience in australis? jgruen votes no - too untested, too new - been in the wild (alpha) for about a day
    • mmayo to follow-up with jgruen (what does onboarding mean?)
  • AWESOMES:
    • [lloyd] fucking awesome, chris et al. it looked impossible a month ago, and you did it
    • [karl] look, it's crystal!
    • [jgruen] QA and ops who tested and deployed all the things are awesome. Also, they bring donuts. gene showed up and owned it, beer in hand.
    • [jedp, karl] skinny for her My Nerd Story, which is spreading and bringing other people to write their stories, too
    • [lloyd] kicking off Fruux (there, i said it!) conversation w00t
  • HELP
    • [jedp] can we get people for fxos 1.4? [spenrose] s/help/awesome/ mmayo is on it
    • mmayo - also, there are shifting priorities within TEF - can be hard to tell where the partnership on this project will go
    • spenrose: the spice must flow! gonna have to crack the whip a bit
    • [karl] thanks to 6a68 for getting the socketlabs stuff sorted out
  • Announcement
 :(
    • Lloyd: there's nothing but love from my side for each and every one of you. From my side, in my career, i have never seen people with such hearts and dedication as you. I am awed by all of you
    • mmayo: sorting out the interim arrangement, and the longer-term structure. interim plan is for mmayo to take over lloyd's responsibiliity for as short a term as possible. clearing plate for next few weeks to be around and available. looking at a broader reorg for cloud that we haven't completely figured out. one desire is to have a flatter structure, with an increase in EMs. UI/UX, you guys may be stuck with me for a while. looking at the whole group, we are very undermanaged, wtih broad disparity of managerial responsibilities. something we've been trying to figure out; compared with desktop and os teams - how do they structure? given that we're so geographically diverse. can we break up teams geographically? probably not. major projects will probably live under a lead engineer, paired with a manager to run it. smaller teams probably don't have to be structured the same way. looking for two to three managers in the team to spread the workload.
    • questions for lloyd
    • [karl] when do we see you?
      • bay area, end of february
    • [karl] does callahad know this?
      • yes
    • lloyd whatever i have to offer, it's yours
  • FUCKING AROUND?
    • not that lloyd guy
    • he does not
    • also, honey badger
