Thanks for restarting this discussion, @jill!
The most pressing on the list, for now, are creating the image builder and improving Tutorraform (including renaming it, as requested by Regis). I think they’re safe to handle separately. Plus, it’s the only clear way of splitting the immediate work between epics that I could find.
The general discovery is this one (for which I had already asked for comments a few weeks ago). I recently rewrote it to be based on Braden’s work on Tutorraform, including his suggestion of The Three Major Pieces - hence why the first three items in my proposal.
Getting down to business, I’ve already started to tackle Tutorraform, and had planned to devote most of my time to it over the next few weeks (also as part of an initiative to focus my attention on a single project). However, Serenity is currently struggling with capacity, and unless we get one more newcomer beyond Sandeep for May, I won’t be able to. And given our recent bad luck with newcomers, that’s not likely to happen. Not to put too fine a point on it, I’m bummed.
As project lead, I’d rather have it move forward than wait on my cell’s capacity. But I’m not ready to give the work up entirely. I intend to not only propose that Ocim (and its accompanying deployment mechanism) be owned by a single person, I would like to be that person. And that’s only interesting to me as long as I can work on it myself.
So. There are really only two epics up for grabs that need to be worked on now. The image builder and Tutorraform. One I’d like Serenity to keep. Given @jill’s enthusiasm, it makes sense for the other to go to Falcon. Jill, any preference?
PS: I’m now filling in for Sid as Serenity’s recruitment manager, which goes counter to my objective of focusing on less things in the short term. But it sure puts me in a good position to solve the problem in the long run.
