Features team meeting
Place #wikimedia-dev connect

GENERAL[edit]

Decide what you want to call out for the Monthly meeting, any big stories? Instead of the round robin, the Engineering part of the Thursday metricks will focus on a 3-5 focused updates for a short 5-10min. If you think your project should be highlighted then nominate it. You or a team member can give it (or force me to do so).

If you are approved for Berlin Hackathon, don't forget to register.

Meeting restructure User:Tychay[edit]

Going forward attendence to the Features team is optional. Instead they will serve as office hours. However updating the EtherPad is no longer optional and it your team's responsibility to update status on the wiki.

Fundraising[edit]

Jeremy[edit]

Last week:

This week:

  • Monday @CiviCon in Berkeley
  • working on CiviCRM issues.

Blockers:

  • There is some unfinished code in the GUI on CiviCRM in regards to recurring payments. Spoke with developers at CiviCon on how to get this pushed upstream. I will need to contribute a few more patches to fix this. See http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-9459.

This does not prevent us from processing payments at this time, so it is a minor blocker.

Katie[edit]

Last week:

  • Three sessions of Mingle training
  • Continue to work with GlobalCollect
  • Deal with the mediawiki git migration. In other words: Start using git for the big four fundraising extensions.
  • Continue with the hiring process
  • Hopefully more code review for Jeremy's pending globalcollect recurring module in civicrm

This week:

  • Monday: CiviCon in Berkeley
  • Tuesday Afternoon - Friday (possibly through to Sunday if we are making good progress): CiviCRM usability code sprint in Nevada City, CA
  • Updated the payments cluster - turned credit card processing back on


Echo[edit]

  • Notifications will need to be separated out in the Engineering Goals document
  • Nothing. This will become a priority in the next fiscal year
