835544 2009-12-01 12:08:00 Hey guys!


I dunno if you are interested, but this Sat, I have had a couple of guys offer to help out on the building and design of the website, and in order to plan out what needs to be done - I thought nothing would beat an oldfashioned catchup /workingbee around at my place.


WHERE: North Shore, Auckland
WHEN: Maybe 11am - 3pm ish Sat ?
WHO: Anyone who wants to help
WHAT: Coding or help on site design, or modem / ISP research etc.
HOW: Bring laptop or notepaper, and we can just work through what we can do.


We can see who is keen and when you are available, and then work around that!


Also if you are unable to make it, or unable to make it for the whole time, then I could setup a skype room. (also might be potential for more problems so might be a stupid idea, but we should all be reasonably technical eh?)


THE TASKS?
I was keen to see who is available, and then put forward tasks based on what people are good at and actually want to do. :-)


But the main areas that Shade and I have been working on at the moment are:


* Site design
* Linux webserver and check network config (secure it, but this is pretty much done)
* Hack scripts (outbound vulnerability detection)
* Mac address detection (will allow us to detect remotely the customer manufacturer)
* Troubleshooter v2.0
* Modem page with public edit function + admin centre for moderators
* Better jobs board or just add another forum (?)
* Integrate look and feel (forum has different feel to blog, vs. front page etc)
* Search engine optimisation - help with keyword analysis and how that works on the site etc.


Non technical help:
* Modem research (great modem hunt)
* Excel and data analysis
* Help with search engine optimisation keywords?
(trust me - there is a heap of stuff! :-)


If you are keen just message me through the forum or here:
www.adslgeek.com


I was thinking something like I shout for lunch and beers?


Cheers,
ADSLgeek.

835545 2009-12-01 19:48:00 I'm keen, but my wifes in a Santa parade, I should really go along and support her, but I'll ping you after and see what time things wrap up :) Chilling_Silence (9)
835546 2009-12-01 19:50:00 OK mate, to be honest I dunno who or if we have others, so we can be flexible anyway..

BTW? Is your wife a pixie or something? ;-)

835547 2009-12-01 19:57:00 What website are you refering to? convair (13650)
835548 2009-12-01 21:46:00 And why aren't you using Google Wave?
It's time to try a real world scenario. :blush:

835549 2009-12-01 22:27:00 Excellent point :D Chilling_Silence (9)
835550 2009-12-01 22:29:00 Is this for the pressf1 forums or something else? convair (13650)
835551 2009-12-01 22:34:00 Nup, adslgeek.com :) Chilling_Silence (9)
835552 2009-12-02 06:40:00 Hey there,

I do have google Wave and we surely can use it, but we are currently use Github.com to track all changes and it has wiki's and issues registers etc. and a big code repository so that seems to be working quite well.

At the moment, the arvo could work for me, if you wanted?

I just thought a face to face can be good to cover stuff off, especially to setup what we wanted to do, and who is happy to help with what stuff, but mainly cause I can get to at least shout for Lunch, so I don't feel like a bludger!

Cheers,
ADSL geek

835553 2009-12-02 06:49:00 Hey there,

Regarding the tools, it is my goal to have stuff which customers of any forum can help to use. But yeah it was for www.adslgeek.com

CS - I am cool for the Sat arvo if that works better for you? I have got a couple of guys I haven't heard back from so they would likely be flexible anyway..

Regarding Wave - yup I have it, and happy to use it, though we are currently using github.com as it has a wiki, messaging, issues and bug tracking, as well as full incremental change management tools etc..

Cheers,
ADSLgeek.
