MDN/Development/Meetings: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:55, 5 January 2015

Guidelines

We schedule MDN development meetings by these guidelines:

We like days without meetings
We like short meetings with clear agendas
We like to plan our work-week ahead of time
We like meeting times that work for as many time-zones as possible

MDN development staff work in time-zones from Central European to Pacfic, so 17:00 Berlin/8:00 Pacific is our "magic-hour" for meetings to include all staffers.

1:1's

MDN devs have regular 1:1's with the MDN dev manager. We also like to engage all team members. So, every other week, MDN dev staffers have a 1:1 meeting with another MDN dev and/or a Mozilla web developer.

2014

In 2014, we reset our meetings according to the above Guidelines. So, we started the following weekly schedule:

Mondays
- 16:00 UTC - Planning
- 17:00 UTC - Triage
- 19:00 UTC - Mozilla Monday Project Meeting
Tuesdays
Wednesdays
Thursdays
Fridays
- 16:00 UTC - Weekly Review

Search for 'mdn' on vreplay.mozilla.com for meeting videos.
