Please add comments before the meeting! We’ll take a few minutes to add additional comments and discuss, then put together action items to operationalize suggestions.

Retrospective

Discussion topics:

• Use Jitsi instead of Zoom for internal calls? Reasoning is that it’s supporting open source and Zoom may be harvesting our voice and likenesses

  • There exists other tools we could potentially use

    • Workadventure: https://workadventu.re/

  • @Joyce Sato-Reinhold: so long as the screen sharing is good, okay to try out others

  • @Loic Sans : for design review, we can use Figma’s video call option

• Proposal: ~1 Day per sprint no internal meetings

  • For Duncan having meetings mid-day is a challenge

  • Suggestion: Use Slack statuses more rigorously - turn off notifications and be unavailable for X hours

  • Joyce felt that meetings are less distracting than async notifications - if we do a quiet day, it should be quiet across the board

  • Sayaka feels there are some unnecessary meetings - if one person is going to tackle a bug, the whole team doesn’t need to be there.
