November 05, 2024Episode 0090: Honor the Customer
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The user story seems like a basic idea, often dismissed as a part of the much-maligned Agile method but often a real and legitimate representation of why any initiative is undertaken and for whom. If one is looking for motivation or reason of any kind to participate in community elevation initiatives, look around, your users and customers are all around you.

October 29, 2024Episode 0089: Fediverse
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: You may or may not be aware of The Fediverse. Unlike The Metaverse, this is actually a real thing, and in fact we could argue that it has been around in one way or another the whole time. Surely a component of our Virtual Vegas vision, making our Smart City Smarter, should include something intersecting The Fediverse, how about this week?

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Obviously we test and debug and test again and debug yet more our various software applications and whatnot, and then you the customer, the user, does more testing for us. The same goes for everything else, not merely Software, and we can always do better across the board.

October 01, 2024Episode 0085: Hacktoberfest 2024
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: That time of year is upon us once again, a truly scary time indeed. When the curious and inexperienced are invited to sprinkle some contribution to open source projects or initiatives out on the Internets, wherever the lights are on and a Hacktoberfest tag has been left like a creature of darkness between the curious and the candy. It is good, but is it great?

September 24, 2024Episode 0084: The Bazaar
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Somewhere around 25 years ago, one of the various open source luminaries, Eric S Raymond, was working on and eventually published a book entitled The Cathedral and The Bazaar, a collection of essays about adventures developing software and business. We are pursuing The Bazaar here so why not describe that a bit in context.

September 11, 2024Episode 0082: Points
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Story Points are one of the two least popular aspects of Agile to tackle for our own Agile for Volunteers implementation. The other is the daily stand-up, which is also optional, but Story Points are completely misplaced in a volunteer organization without a commercial style need to hit release dates. Sort of.
