Meet your group

Get to know your group.

Arrange a time when you can meet everyone in your group. (Some people may participate remotely.)

Introduce yourselves, and discuss how you are going to carry out the group (lab) exercises:

• What are your skills and strengths? The mini-projects will require a combination of skills: knowledge of open source software projects, usage of many tools (for revision control, building software, testing, quality assurance), understanding requirements, documentation, mining bug/issue trackers, knowledge of theory, etc.
• How do you want to communicate? In person, by e-mail, chat, slack?
• How will you keep track of open tasks?
• How do you plan to work? You can use two lab computers with pair (or triple) programming, your own environment, etc. Note that two thirds (2/3) of the work will be carried out outside supervised and planned lab sessions!
• How will you write the documentation? (Any tool that produces a PDF in the end is fine with us.)
• Is there anyone who cannot be present in lab sessions? How do you compensate for this? (This is particularly important for the final session in each mini-project).
• Are you going to assign a leader for each assignment, who will coordinate and manage the tasks?
• Agree on a code of conduct relating to the items stated above, in particular to possible absences in the lab session.
