Week 2

Week 2 eh? Yeah well, we got a NEW TEAM MEMBER who is awesome! Vish is our document expert. We are going to be a big group with the rest of our class. Pod is looking over my shoulder. This is very disruptive. He is trying to make me uncomfortable by being here. He should know that as a teacher that he shouldn't be disrupting me while i am trying to think, but he is much more interested in annoying me.

We decided on our team roles, organisational structure, communication plan, fees etc, etc.

All in all a very productive day. We are still going to use google calendar to show each person's personal availability. POD set up a facebook study group for us. Pokey setup a basecamp for us.

Really am looking forward to getting in to the meat of the project. Really would love to start getting functional req. spec. now but oh well. I'm in charge of standards and governance, well governance will be done by everyone as it is democratic. Standards is a good thing for me to deal with cos i am completely anal when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Really not looking forward to working with the other groups though, i don't really trust them... i hope they prove me wrong, i am worried about them stealing our resources. I am also worried about the integration between the systems. If we are sharing data and they are changing it. Also what happens if there is a collision or something.

It short, I am a little scared but excited, i think that's a good thing, keep me on my toes at least.

I also have plans to win blog of the week in weeks 9-13 when everyone is in a rush to finish assignments and don't really make the same amount of effort on their blog. Also I am going to be fairly consistent in the quantity and quality of my blogs so I can be in the running for blog of the year, although however unlikely i am of winning I really respond well to chocolate-based incentives.
