2. Why are we here? 3. Goals of Session
- Understand how Plone community creates Plone the software
- Inspire ideas for improving the process
- Contribute to shared interest in improving the process
- Recruit people who want to help improve the process
4. Outline
- Process map!
- Collaborative design outside the community
- What it all means
- Conversation about how to move forward
5. Is Plone an Orchestra? http://flickr.com/photos/jordanfischer/72510316/ 6. Chaordic = chaos + order http://flickr.com/photos/chriscorrigan/381481875/ 7. http://flickr.com/photos/nh567/2774100797/ 8. Process Map 9. Learning from Others
- Where are the best practices in remote collaboration and collaborative design processes?
10. Example: Datacenter Charrette
- RMI convened whole-system design charrette for data centers (Feb 2-5, 2003)
- "clean sheet model with no compromises"
- Goal: leapfrog incremental improvements to advance overall design
11. The Problem The Problem 12. Solution Criteria
- Can't just keep applying more brute force to this problem
- Must use energy efficiently
- Design system around efficiency, reliability, and availability

- 90 people, including industry experts in:
-
- engineering
-
- computer design
-
- energy
-
- data management
-
- business
-
- real estate
-
- facilities design

- Data center design that
-
- reduces energy conception by 89%,
-
- with equivalent computing power
-
- and greater reliability.
- Over 50 major recommendations
See www.rmi.org 21. What made it work?
- Facilitated dialogue on:
-
- innovative and functional design and engineering
-
- strategies to improve results of design decisions
22. What made it work?
- Whole-system thinking:
-
- actively considers interconnections between systems
-
- seeks solutions that address multiple problems at same time
23. What makes it work?
- Unites stakeholders and experts at the beginning of design / problem-solving process
- Aggregate demand/needs from many stakeholders
24. http://flickr.com/photos/maxine/1523329505/ 25. Small group activity
- Break into groups of ~5-7
- Brainstorm: What are ways we can make the process of developing Plone more collaborative and approachable?
-
- What would help us better front-load the design process so that we had more input and commitment before code had to be written?
-
- What activities will generate engagement & participation from stakeholders?
-
- What can you do to drive this forward?
-
- Who's not here that should be engaged in this conversation?
- Log in to OpenPlans athttp://tinyurl.com/plone-processto record your group's ideas on a new page
-
- Separate page per group to avoid edit conflicts!
- 15 minutes
