Welcome to the Developer team. This is the to-do list for New Developers to get them set up the first week. If you have further questions, contact HR.

  1. Familiarize yourself with any of the development tools you don't know well. We are building user-generated pages with helpful info. Bookmark them for now. (The Wiki 101 page will help you set up your log.) As you we build these pages you may need to refer to external sources.
    1. Google Drive 101
    2. Google Docs 101
    3. Wiki 101
    4. Google Hangouts 101
    5. FreeCAD 101
    6. OSE Network 101
    7. Kdenlive 101
    8. Scrum 101 We don't use the program but we borrow its vocabulary.
  2. Calendar & Reminder Items
    1. Add your end date, listed in your welcome email.
    2. Add a reminder for your weekly meeting time.The main OSE development team will meet every Monday at 11:00 AM CST at a dedicated Google Hangout. If there are changes to meetings times, you will be emailed.
    3. Add a reminder to submit your timesheet before the Monday meeting. (Instructions below.)
  3. Log Items
    1. Take a quick look at Emmanuil’s Log as a sample of good log.
    2. Review Best Practices for Logs.
    3. Link to the following top of your log (for quick reference):
      1. Wiki Formatting Help if you might need it.
      2. Add the Timesheet link. This is how we submit time sheets every Monday.
      3. Add the Google Hangouts link. This is where we meet.
      4. Add the D3D for the general 3D printer project overview.
      5. Add the Development Team Log. This is where we keep all our working files and link our captured meeting videos (if you happen to miss one).
      6. Add your teammates' logs. At the first meeting you will be assigned to a team. Once you find out, refer to the Developer’s Page to find the links to their logs, and link to them on top of your page.
    4. Add the OSE Network. This is our official discussion thread.
    5. Post your badge at the top of your log.
    6. Post a public email address for yourself
