Transparency and local meetups
Members of Open Coral project have been ‘divided’ to three teams: Core Developers, Concept Designers and UX Team. Similar team formation is common in open source projects. Of course the amount and names of teams vary from case to case. In Open Coral project we try to be as open [...]
Open Coral Teams
We have lured in around 8 to 10 people to participate in development. We have graphics designers, UX specialists, concept designers and a few code developers. Nevertheless this project does not look like a normal open source project. In normal case, code developers are the majority if testers are not included. Of course one must [...]
Open Coral Daemon
Open Coral Daemon (OCD) is intended to handle information retrieval from multiple sources (URLs) asynchronously. In the future it will most likely have a lot of other tasks as well, but let’s start with one. Information streams will be different formats such as HTML, JSON, RSS, ATOM to mention a [...]
Open Coral – users and projects
Here’s some initial ideas for the database structure regarding several tables/objects such as user, projects, blog and mailing list messages. Note that this is just first iteration and most likely will contain oddities and fails (in multiple levels). Let it be just a starting point for future ideas. Below is a database defined with a [...]
Open Coral Info block – IRC community meetings
A lot of developers hang out at IRC channels. Actually a lot more takes place in IRC channels: people discuss how to solve problems they confront in development or in usage, they exchange information and ideas, and many other activities. IRC is one of the fundamental elements in communication of Open Source communities. Therefore we [...]
Open Coral – Sync email & stream discussions
Open Coral development has started to get some form. The community – yet small, but growing – is forming teams based on different skills and interests. One of those teams is something that I will name as ‘Concept Designers’. I am/will be member of that team. Concept Designers define features based [...]
Open Coral – community guidelines
Every Open Source community is unique. Therefore community values might differ from case to case. Of course some communities (especially Open Source driven) share common values, but still they have distinctive features. Here are some of the values that members of Open Coral project should share. This is not ‘the’ list or anything final. Furthermore [...]
Open Coral UX/UI initial plan
Five members (me, Kari aka ‘Kp’, Jouni, Oopee and Tere) of Open Coral project gathered in a live meeting 2.12.2011 at University of Tampere. It seems that this group of members will function as ad hoc “UX Team”. The same punch of developers and designers might form more coherent team in the future, but that [...]
Open Coral project & community starting
Today Open Coral project is 4 weeks old. A lot has been setup, discussions with several partners has been done and several people have expressed interest towards project.
Co-operation discussions with Tampere University of Technology, University of Tampere and Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) are constantly ongoing. Diaspora kindly tweeted about us in their official [...]
Unified Universal Open Source Dashboard
What if open source projects would have possibility to use unified dashboard instead of creating one for every project? What if anyone could see what’s the status and history of each package?
What if we would have single entry point to browse project (and packages included in it) details such as
bugs history and details, [...]
