Hello,
Available persons for head honcho role:
Amon_Re
"I'm not experianced in managing large projects, but i have the
determination to get this thing rolling.
My experiances involve php coding, i have a fair understanding of C, and i
also do installerscripts.
That's it really."
Rincewynd:
"Not sure how I can help at this point, but here's an overview of my
work-experience:
- 5 years of 4GL programming. (No C/C++ alas, so I can't be helping
programming);
- 7 years of information systems …
[View More]design;
- about the same (7 years) of database design (relational databases);
- 2 years IT-consultancy;
- 1.5 years (not fulltime) of managing small programming projects;
- Too many years of writing development documentation (Functional
Design, Technical Design, End-user docs);
- I speak Dutch, English, French and German.
I've taken a closer look at my schedule, and I'd like to make myself
available for the following:
- 'replacement' manager. At the moment I don't have the time to take
part of the management of this project on me, but this'll change in a
few months. So if one of the to be appointed managers has to leave in
the future I'll prolly be available. I do have management experience,
tho not for a project this big.
- PR/Community management. The user community will want to hear about
the projects' progress. If we decide to provide periodical
status-updates to said community, I'm willing to put these together.
There will likely also be a myriad of other questions from the user
community that will need to be addressed."
Mark:
"I'll probably regret this, but I'll put myself forward to HELP with the
project management:
First of all I think this is way to big a project for 1 person to manage it
(especially as it will be done on a voluntary basis) and so if possible the
project should be broken down ito several tasks (or sub-projects) and each
sub-project has its own manager, with possibly one co-ordinator at the top
level.
About me:
I am currently a Systems Manager at The Open University, this involves
(amongst other things) managing IT projects (never done a coding project
though). I'm also one of the site developers at AW.net, I have (in my
university years ;-) ) done some C, but its not up to much currently."
No details available on Argo atm
Kind regards

Thoughts please on this new logo
http://amigaworld.net/tmp/amiopenofficelogo.png
I dropped the .org as it would look silly on a site that doesn't use openoffice.org as its domain. The name is easily changed should we decide on a project name.

Hello,
I propose we go the commité route for the project management, with 2 senior
devs & 2 managers.
One senior dev for linux
One for AOS
A rescource manager
And finally one manager who makes the final calls based on feedback of the
other 3.
Kind regards

Nii Hao All!
I've switched back from digest mode: i've never had a mailing list in
digest mode and i just discovered to hate it :D
Here're some excerpts from the digests:
1. i second the choice of a wiki, it's a great system!
2. if you think a forum+ml is too much, we could go with the list and use
the forum justo for public announcements or something like weekly status
updates.
3. please, PLEASE!, don't call it AmigaOffice or something alike, don't us
do the same error of Amizilla: …
[View More]here we have a great brand we can use for
free and it's a big selling point: let's use it! (btw, OpenOffice.org is
the real name, not OpenOffice :))
4. SVN vs. CVS: although i'm one of the fans of SVN i believe that if you
guys feel more comfortable with CVS and it will let us to start rapidly,
then you should use it. In the meanwhile SVN could be a side project (in a
SourceForge perspective too...)
5. the fact that at some point we'll have Python (and APR too), really
makes me happy (ok, i admit this point isn't much related to project
organization :D)
