Sprint

Git Migration Sprint 2, Version Control API, is underway.

Sprints last two weeks with check-ins beginning at noon Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. The first call is one hour and sets the sprint focus. The next five calls are half-hour stand-ups, where sdboyer will run through the work accomplished since the last call, identify blockers, and give other updates, followed by others whose work is a part of the sprint. The final Friday of the sprint is a demonstration of the work accomplished.

If you want to participate in a sprint, contact sdboyer. I'll be posting the final demonstration of each sprint as a separate event since demos are like to be of interest to people who might not be involved directly with the tasks of the sprint.

A calendar of scheduled sprint events is available via Google Calendars: http://bit.ly/d0U0R3

Sprint 2 focused on Version Control API’s (VCAPI) under-the-hood functionality. Although some tasks remain, the work accomplished during this sprint allows for creation the API’s administrative interface and opens the way to begin Project Module integration. Documentation of the past and future work with VCAPI lays out the final steps required for a 2.x release. If I've missed anything or misspoken, corrections are always welcome.
