As per their elavator pitch:

Eduacatic(product name) uses artificial intelligence to provide parents with a personal assistant that guides them with personalized and effortless early-childhood activities.

Affinidata wants to use chat bots to close the gap for effective, easy-to-access educational tools. Existing early-childhood education options, such as daycare or private tutors, are often expensive and difficult to scale, Affinidata uses chat bots to deliver this content.

Initial Call Notes

They have several public repositories, each one being one component of their chat bot solution. They have Facebook Messenger integration at this point, and they're looking to make their repositories properly open source by the end of the month. Anxieties about Open Source stem from two sources: CI part, having an ordered, automated way of contributing and testing code, and Licensing is an area of concern. CI is a priority for them.

Project Management

  • They're using Agile methods, biweekly sprints.
  • Along with biweekly meetings, they do weekly meetings with the whole team, taking notes using Asana*.
  • They use Asana* to organize tasks and handle issues, it's not yet public, but they said it could easily be made public.

Testing / Code Health

  • As of right now, they have a few Unit and functionality tests, by their estimates about 20 percent of the code is tested.
  • They don't currently use any health checking tools.
  • They do peer reviews "every so often".
  • They don't have an automation tools deployed at the moment.

Documentation

Documentation exists, there's Readmes in each of the repositories along with some functional documentation overviewing some of the harder to understand parts of the code. While by their own admission they're a long ways from complete, it sounds like they're coming along.

Additional Notes

They are concerned with CI the most, and need help setting that up, it's their goal to have CI in their project.

Multiple members have varying levels of experience in Open Source, they seem to have thought about it as they are making the project as a consequence.
