Completed [[Developer Test]].

Restructured [[FreeCAD 101]] as follows:

*General FreeCAD resources (manuals, forums, youtube series)
*Task 1: Build a Corner Cube
*Task 2: Convert STL's for Smaller File Sizes
*Task 3: Create Final Assemblies
*Task4: Extract Isometric views...
*''etc.''
This makes it a sort of repository of 1) General Resources and 2) OSE Tasks (as we develop them). I need the OK to complete the edit as it would remove much content, and relocate the test.

'''First''', I was discussing the architecture of OSE onboarding and educational materials for applicants and developers with Dixon. This was my initial [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qHg_GnphGrC3oqNRhye-yedAvhs8uhKqkgxU_xIcxGU/edit?usp=sharing proposal]. Or see the picture here:

[[Image:Jozef's Overview of onboarding pages.png|500px]]
#Propose making a dedicated [[Developer Test]] page by extracting the test items from [[FreeCAD 101]] page and relocating them there with a) test prompts, and b) linked help resources (our 101 series). My thoughts are as follows:
##Consolidating test prompts on a dedicated page makes them easier to find under a more appropriate and logical heading. This also tidies up FreeCAD 101 to be a dedicated tutorial space instead of muddling it with applicant admin.
##By separating help resources from the test and making them optional, it allows people to cherry-pick their help resources during the application process. Those applicants who do not need help with the wiki, linux, etc., they're saved from being universally funneled through a bunch of slow motion classes that they do not need (though I do). I think this is a more "modular" design serving different end-users (from newbie-to-pro), who may use none, some, or all of the supplemental 101's. This gives them the option to skip, refresh, or learn from scratch.
#Propose making dedicated 101 Tutorial pages on our toolchains like ([[FreeCAD 101]], [[Wiki 101]], [[KdenLive 101]], etc.
##Organizing help resources by higher order tasks vs. "elemental" program skills. If we build pages around tasks (like "documentation") instead of programs (wiki101, google docs 101, etc.) then I'd worry about a ton of overlap (duplication and ambiguity) between them. Because a lot of tasks potentially include the same multiple programs in combination (sharing google docs on google hangouts, sharing google docs on the wiki, ''etc''.) You potentially end up with more pages and less certainty about where to find what you need. I think the stricter logic of labels serves more intuitive navigation.
##However, as the tutorials cover the material they could conveniently cover ''exactly'' the material required first by the applicant and second by the developer.
'''Second''', Regarding the Technical Community Development role, I want to gather some information from everybody and am comparing free survey websites: [https://surveynuts.com/en Survey Nuts] and [https://www.surveymonkey.com Survey Monkey] which has a free version. Draft of questionnaire items [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oVP43bPitEQWyvzQtjkcpcvAnyrJ2oiTwsor2y0MIu4/edit?usp=sharing here].

Migrated the rest of the email content to the [[New Developer Orientation]] page, and there I separated the content out in terms of (1) General Practices and (2) New Developer's To-Do List.

I'm working on streamlining an [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iK7fR2PdPXNd5xmR5lBPLtRLg7QzGW4_i32Gx6dIftM/edit onboarding content overview] which I'm breaking down into three categories:
#Welcome and orientation email. (This says hi and lays out ground rules and leads new developers to step #2.)
#New Developer To-do list wiki page with embedded video walkthrough. (This takes the newbie through all the basic tasks and links them to #3.)
#OSE Dev Tool Instructionals. I'm envisioning each dev tool as having it's own wiki page with a short series of condensed videos--not exhaustive but with sufficient material to get people up to speed for our most common tasks....
##OSE Wiki 101
##VokoScreen 101
##KdenLive 101
##FreeCAD 101
##etc.

Now I'm moving on to the video walkthrough script for the new developer to do list (#2).

I'm working on the on-boarding content & arrangement [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iK7fR2PdPXNd5xmR5lBPLtRLg7QzGW4_i32Gx6dIftM/edit?usp=sharing here]. It's my understanding that you're on your own for the FreeCAD test, but that once you're on the team ''you're on the team''; and that OSE switches to a support role and does not treat any question as stupid in principle. Everybody needs to get up to speed on the development tools (the wiki, FreeCAD, jitsi/hangouts, google drive, docs, etc.) if they are not already, so I started hunting down short vids as instructional references.

[2 hrs]

= Monday, May 29, 2017 =

Marcin and I discussed temporarily shifting me from the D3D project to a community development role, so I worked on the following:
# I reviewed the [[Onboarding Flowchart]] which seems to suggest that familiarity with workflow and culture occur prior to joining a team (unless I'm mistaken). I want to redefine 'on-boarding' in terms of getting everyone (and me!) aboard a project by:
## Getting familiar with the communication platforms (jitsi, google hangouts, OSE network), protocol, and team members. (''I'm clumsy and I've only said hi to one team member!'')
## Attending meet-ups regularly, and contributing ideas (''I missed today's meeting which I thought was tomorrow. I lucked out and it got postponed.'')
## Producing good logs in terms of content/files, arrangement, and style. (''One litmus test is that several of us have been 'on-boarded' at the same time and none of our logs look the same.'')
## Getting everyone engaged and communicating with their team members. (''Do any of us have each other's emails or phone numbers handy?'')
## Competently using the universal bundle of OSE dev tools: the wiki, google docs, etc... (''Actually, what else?'')
## Submitting time-sheets consistently.
## [...]
#I pulled the "Welcome Email" content and am editing it [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iK7fR2PdPXNd5xmR5lBPLtRLg7QzGW4_i32Gx6dIftM/edit?usp=sharing here]. From my POV the issue is not content but arrangement and medium. My thought was to rearrange it into:
##The Welcome and General Orientation
##New Developer To-Do list with embedded help video. By the way, the video would depend on the to-do list so I want to get that nailed down before working on that.
[4 hrs]

= Thursday, May 25, 2017 =

To familiarize myself with the D3D project overview I reviewed:
# [https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/a7/68/94/d3/a5/CONSTRUCTION_MANUAL_V6.pdf The Construction Manual for Lyman's Filament Extruder V6] pdf.

# In the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtOd78pFszw The May 22-23 Development Team Meeting] Marcin said I'd trace the winder files and Kassie would take the spooler files, but on review [http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:Lymanspoolerv3.zip they're somewhat mixed with miscellaneous files]. I tried getting in contact with Kassie via the [http://network.opensourceecology.org/jozefmikler OSE Network] to say, to say "Hey all the mixed files are numbered 1-15. Let's just split them roughly down the middle, and I'll take 1-8, and you take 9-15 (or whatever)," but reached the character limit prematurely.
# I was trying to figure out why I'm tracing the stl. files in the first place. I think I'm tracing solids in sketcher to create equivalent meshes to keep file size down?

= Wednesday, May 24, 2017 =

Took care of new developer housekeeping:
#Replied to the HR email to supply info for the team bios.
#Read the [[Daily Log of Tasks]] to review Best Practices for logging work.
#Started to set up this log with the appropriate links, etc. I've never contributed on a wiki so I skimmed over [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Wiki Formatting Help] to help me with formatting (I added the link up top for quick reference), and spent a little time looking at other developer logs and flipping back and forth between their ''Read'' & ''Edit'' pages to see how they got different formatting effects.
#Signed up at [http://network.opensourceecology.org/jozefmikler OSE Network]
#Shot an email to a local guy who runs Linux on a Mac to try and get help with the dual boot. I'm currently running Ubuntu 16.04 on Parallels as a short term fix, but I need a game plan and don't have one yet.

#Propose making a dedicated [[Developer Test]] page by extracting the test items from [[FreeCAD 101]] page and relocating them there with a) test prompts, and b) linked help resources (our 101 series). My thoughts are as follows:
##Consolidating test prompts on a dedicated page makes them easier to find under a more appropriate and logical heading. This also tidies up FreeCAD 101 to be a dedicated tutorial space instead of muddling it with applicant admin.
##By separating help resources from the test and making them optional, it allows people to cherry-pick their help resources during the application process. Those applicants who do not need help with the wiki, linux, etc., they're saved from being universally funneled through a bunch of slow motion classes that they do not need (though I do). I think this is a more "modular" design serving different end-users (from newbie-to-pro), who may use none, some, or all of the supplemental 101's. This gives them the option to skip, refresh, or learn from scratch.
#Propose making dedicated 101 Tutorial pages on our toolchains like ([[FreeCAD 101]], [[Wiki 101]], [[KdenLive 101]], etc.
##Organizing help resources by higher order tasks vs. "elemental" program skills. If we build pages around tasks (like "documentation") instead of programs (wiki101, google docs 101, etc.) then I'd worry about a ton of overlap (duplication and ambiguity) between them. Because a lot of tasks potentially include the same multiple programs in combination (sharing google docs on google hangouts, sharing google docs on the wiki, ''etc''.) You potentially end up with more pages and less certainty about where to find what you need. I think the stricter logic of labels serves more intuitive navigation.
##However, as the tutorials cover the material they could conveniently cover ''exactly'' the material required first by the applicant and second by the developer.
'''Second''', Regarding the Technical Community Development role, I want to gather some information from everybody and am comparing free survey websites: [https://surveynuts.com/en Survey Nuts] and [https://www.surveymonkey.com Survey Monkey] which has a free version.

#New Developer To-do list wiki page with embedded video walkthrough. (This takes the newbie through all the basic tasks and links them to #3.)
#OSE Dev Tool Instructionals. I'm envisioning each dev tool as having it's own wiki page with a short series of condensed videos--not exhaustive but with sufficient material to get people up to speed for our most common tasks....
##OSE Wiki 101

It's my understanding that you're on your own for the FreeCAD test, but that once you're on the team ''you're on the team''; and that OSE switches to a support role and does not treat any question as stupid in principle. Everybody needs to get up to speed on the development tools (the wiki, FreeCAD, jitsi/hangouts, google drive, docs, etc.) if they are not already, so I started hunting down short vids as instructional references.

= Monday, May 29, 2017 =

Marcin and I discussed temporarily shifting me from the D3D project to a community development role, so I worked on the following:
# I reviewed the [[Onboarding Flowchart]] which seems to suggest that familiarity with workflow and culture occur prior to joining a team (unless I'm mistaken). I want to redefine 'on-boarding' in terms of getting everyone (and me!) aboard a project by:
## Getting familiar with the communication platforms (jitsi, google hangouts, OSE network), protocol, and team members. (''I'm clumsy and I've only said hi to one team member!'')
## Attending meet-ups regularly, and contributing ideas (''I missed today's meeting which I thought was tomorrow. I lucked out and it got postponed.'')
## Producing good logs in terms of content/files, arrangement, and style. (''One litmus test is that several of us have been 'on-boarded' at the same time and none of our logs look the same.'')
## Getting everyone engaged and communicating with their team members. (''Do any of us have each other's emails or phone numbers handy?'')
## Competently using the universal bundle of OSE dev tools: the wiki, google docs, etc... (''Actually, what else?'')
## Submitting time-sheets consistently.
## [...]
#I pulled the "Welcome Email" content and am editing it [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iK7fR2PdPXNd5xmR5lBPLtRLg7QzGW4_i32Gx6dIftM/edit?usp=sharing here]. From my POV the issue is not content but arrangement and medium. My thought was to rearrange it into:
##The Welcome and General Orientation
##New Developer To-Do list with embedded help video. By the way, the video would depend on the to-do list so I want to get that nailed down before working on that.

Let's just split them roughly down the middle, and I'll take 1-8, and you take 9-15 (or whatever)," but reached the character limit prematurely.
