Project Meeting 2021.06.17 - ActivitySim/activitysim GitHub Wiki

Project admin discussion

  • Phase 6b NTP coming soon
  • Approach to PM discussion
    • I shared the "all in GitHub" approach for editing for JOSS
    • It's a somewhat different scope, but the basic idea is to do as much asynchronous online as possible using GitHub
    • Folks like this idea - basically everything becomes an issue
    • We'll still have our meetings, but Tuesday meetings will be scheduled for specific 6b tasks:
      • vehicle type model #438
      • conda forge update #424
      • airspeed velocity benchmarking update (Newman)
      • visualizer (Clint)
      • orca becomes an official dependency #437
    • And leftover time can be for issue resolution / support
    • Thursday meeting will remain for project admin as well
    • We will self assign issues - Jeff, Clint, me - and manage our support budgets
    • Issue assignment on a first come first serve basis
    • We'll check in periodically on budget
    • And if issue responses are more than a couple hours, then we'll comment and pause and discuss with the partners before proceeding with more LOE
    • Each contractor will add their phase 6b scoped tasks to the wiki
    • We'll drop use of Milestones since they haven't been very useful
    • We're going to try this approach for a few months and see how it goes
    • We'll want to create a few more issue labels for the various issue statuses
    • We decided each issue has one owner so we need to revise #431
    • I'll tidy up the issues, wiki, etc. to get this approach started
  • Upcoming calls
    • Cancel next Tuesday's call due to TRB Planning Applications
    • Joe to send invite for 7/1
    • Cancelled 8/12 meeting
    • We'll create a schedule for upcoming Tuesday calls based on the scoped 6b tasks
