New to HFOSS. Looking forward to getting started!


Intro to IRC activity

  • How do people interact?
    • It seems to flow similar to an Agile / SCRUM type of meeting. Someone has the spotlight and talks about what they're working on - they do most of the talking, and others chime in now and then to offer suggestions, ask questions, etc. Then the spotlight moves to a different person to talk about a topic, and so on. Meanwhile, darci uses the bot to take meeting notes (which the bot will format nicely for them, as we find out in the next stage of the IRC activity)
  • What is the pattern of communication? Is it linear or branched? Formal or informal? One-to-many, one-to-one or a mix?
    • There is some branching, but without going too far off topic too long - like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree, not Yggdrasil. The language is pretty informal, and much of it is one-to-many (with a few many-to-one replies) but some of the branches seem to occasionally go one-to-one just for brief moments.
  • Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning?
    • Starting a message with "Name:" seems to be a common way to address a message to a specific person, and there were one or two uses of /me . Of course, there are the # commands. Also, there are naturally a lot of technical terms being used.
  • Can you make any other observations?
    • A lot of this feels pretty comfortable if you're used to online chat.  :)
  • Bonus question: Why didn't Heidi and Darci's actions get picked up by the meetbot?
    • Looks like user names are case-sensitive, and heidi and darci's names start with lowercase letters, but the actions had their names spelled with capitals.
