Developers at source{d} dedicate 10% of their development time to open source projects of their choice. This is accomplished with Open Source Fridays (OSF), which happen on the first Friday of each sprint.
The result of OSF MUST be open source, whether it is code, prose, a dataset or a beer recipe. We generally use public GitHub repositories for this. They can be either in a personal account, a dedicated organization or the src-d organization.
OK. Actually, OSF is part of every source{d} developer's job. But the decision on what to do on OSF should be driven exclusively by your interests. While you can work on a source{d} project such as go-git, we also encourage you to work on something not related to your daily job.
Whatever you do, you must demo it to your colleages. We prefer actual demos, not slides or code walkthroughs.
- Prepare. Get to the office before 10:30 a.m. and prepare your work for the day.
- Share your plan. At 10:30 we do the OSF planning meeting. You should briefly explain what you are going to do and what do you expect to accomplish by the end of the day. This should be just 1 or 2 minutes per person.
- Do it. Execute your plan for the day and push it!
- Demo. At a time agreed by the team, usually at 17:30, the demo starts. Everyone presents their work to others in 5-15 minutes.
