  CommHub Update 

  Last week:

  Slack Log (Requires Slack login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account)

  We have created a myBalsamiq project for CommHub.

  By doing so:

  • Anyone with a my Balsamiq account can help create wireframes.
    If you want to help with creating and modifying wireframes, please create a myBalsamiq account and let me know what your email address is so I can add you to the CommHub project team.
  • Anyone can go and review and comment on the wireframes created without needing an myBalsamiq acccount. You can do this by just going to https://wp-commhub.mybalsamiq.com/projects/commhub/grid

  We also found out that as we are an open source project we can go for a free project plan. I have been collecting everything together ready to send off to them.

  The full list of MVP features which need to be wire – framed are listed on the Google Spreadsheet.

  This week:

  Slack Log (Requires Slack login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account)

  We are continuing with mocking up the MVP requirements using Balsamiq. It would be great to find some UX / accessibility / design people involved so if you know anyone who could help review what we’ve created that would be great.

  We also worked together to update my very poor attempt at creating a description for the project. Thanks to @mikelking and @shelob9 for helping to review & improve the description.

  @camikaos, hope you find the description below ok:

  Deputy meeting 

  Howdy Deputies!

  I think it’s important for us to all chat from time to time to keep on the same page and answer any questions you might have but I think a weekly meeting might be a bit much considering all our busy schedules. I’d like to propose that we chat the last Thursday of every month either directly before or directly after the community team meeting at 19:00 UTC. Sound off below and let me know if that day will work for you and if you have a strong preference for 18:00 or 20:00 UTC.

    I can arrange either however my preference is for 18:00 UTC

    Aditya Kane 10:45 pm on February 18, 2015 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    Since its a once a month chat – I can manage both timings but I too would prefer 18:00 UTC.

    Ok, I’ll try to wake up at 18:00 UTC … It’s 3am here!

    Just checking back on this, do we have a meeting this week @ 18:00 UTC?

  • 

    Cami Kaos 9:37 pm on February 25, 2015 Permalink | Log in to Reply

    Yes. Let’s do the 18:00 UTC chat tomorrow. In the skype channel. That way anyone not awake for that meeting can go through the scrollback. There’s a lot I’d like to cover and I’d love to hear from all of you.

    • What do you think is working?
    • What can we do to better coordinate?
    • What are we missing?

  CommHub Update 

  Slack log (Requires Slack login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account)

  Yesterday we reviewed the descriptions that the team had put together and debated over a few.

  We have updated the spreadsheet and is now available for everyone to review.

  From a teams perspective, the next stage is to start wire framing and looking at the flow of the project.

  If anyone has any ideas how to do wire framing in a collaborative manner, please let me know.

  It will also be good to get someone with some UX knowledge to review our wireframes so we don’t make something awful to use.

  Till next time!

    At Woo we’ve used both Balsamiq (https://balsamiq.com/) and InVision (http://www.invisionapp.com/) for wire framing to great success. They work well for our global team and collaboration is easy enough. I’m not sure of all their details, but I’ve Balsamiq in particular very easy to use.

  Some changes to the way WordCamp camera kits are distributed 

  If you’re a WordCamp organizer who has made use of the Foundation’s camera kits recently or will be needing them in the near future you may be contacted by one of the camera kit coordinators for shipping information or to send the kits to them or another WordCamp.

  In the US – @roseapplemedia
  In Europe – @petya
  In Canada – @mikeyarce

  If you have any questions about this please let me know!
