MDN/Development/Meetings: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:12, 1 September 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.
