ODK 1 Developer Calls

The big takeaways from the call are:

  • The reason for being on the calls ranges from connecting with other devs to figuring out what is coming next.
  • We need more non-Nafundi people on the call. We'll also need to communicate what attendees get by participating and manually recruit. That's the first step to a technical steering committee.
  • @yanokwa and @ln will put together a strawman roadmap to get conservations started about features.
  • Code review is a bottleneck. @jamesknight will be helping with Collect. @dcbriccetti will be helping with Briefcase.
  • Docs effort is important so we can document architecture, mental models, so others can help with archaeology. https://docs.opendatakit.org is a good start.
  • We need to build more contributor capacity on Aggregate. Perhaps SolDevelo can help based on their Aggregate future plans post.
  • Welcoming and helping folks on the Slack and forum is important and we should do it (Be like @danbjoseph!)
  • Monthly releases still seem like a reasonable approach
  • Ad-hoc meetings work well, but we might also do an office hour
