Doing a Roadmap

[gedankenstuecke]

The last thing missing from Mozilla Working Open Workshop is doing a roadmap about where we would like to go, see mozillascience/working-open-workshop/issues/43. Let's collect some ideas here or in a pad.

Let me know if you need any help here! Happy to take a look :)

[gedankenstuecke]

@acabunoc thanks so much. We'll definitely come back to that once we have some content there!

@philippbayer see the output of todays call with @acabunoc here https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/wow-bastian We also discussed shifting it to 5pm Toronto time, so we can all participate in the next call, you should have a calendar invite from me. 😄

And here we go!

Timeline:
Feb

• Write a roadmap
• Research hackathons - where can you bring OpenSNP

March

• Persona exercise - ideal contributor for these new features https://gedankenstuecke.piratenpad.de/mozwow-personas
• Reach out to the organisations found in Feb

April

• Promo blasts - emailing lists, tweeting

Do you have a roadmap for your product? Like implementing features / addressing issues by a certain point? I see a bit of that here: https://gedankenstuecke.piratenpad.de/opensnp-roadmap

[gedankenstuecke]

Nope, no specific timelines so far. I think we rather focussed on getting more contributors today. 😄

[abbycabs]

I'd encourage you to have a product roadmap so that contributors know where they can help today and understand your long term plan!

No need to set hard dates, but helpful for getting involved.

[gedankenstuecke]

Okay, @philippbayer would you be up to prioritizing the roadmap list together with me? :)

[abbycabs]

Thanks both! Just break down your development goals into smaller tasks and map them along some sort of timeline :)

I think you did a lot of this in the pad above^
