British Columbia and Evergreen: Northern PINES

by Rogan Hamby on June 6, 2007

What follows is an announcement from Ben Hyman of the British Columbia Ministry of Education:

I am pleased to announce the launch of the BC PINES Website http://pines.bclibrary.ca/

Over the coming weeks, months and years, this site will be the repository for all things Evergreen in BC.

The Project Management framework for Evergreen in BC is under development. Elements of the plan will be posted to the site as soon as they are available. Similarly, in time, additional functionality will be added to the site (we envision logins for developers, participating libraries, etc ) .

I’ll draw your attention to the artistic skills of several of your colleagues and peers; the graphic header featured on the site began as individual drawings collected at the April Georgia PINES workshop held at Harbour Centre in Vancouver; we couldn’t resist the consortial symbolism (individual trees / collective forest; individual sketches / collaborative art; and so on).

We are working steadily towards implementing Evergreen in BC, and expect to launch this fall with 3 pilot sites. Please stay tuned!

We live in very exciting times.

CANCELLED Collaborative code review / office hours
Hi Evergreen Community,

You are cordially invited to weekly collaborative code review sessions. In these, we'll meet for an hour to review recent pull requests, read code, run automated tests, try patches out, provide feedback, merge code that is ready... all the best stuff!

We can meet at https://princeton.zoom.us/my/sandbergja.

All skill levels welcome! You can join for as many or as few sessions as you'd like. If you have submitted a pull request that has been languishing and needs some review, please bring that along too. We're going for a fun, positive, and social tone. :-D

This is not to take the place of any of the other great ways that developers can get feedback on their work (e.g. bug squashing week, the new developers working group, typical review process), just a fun supplement.

Hope to see you there,

-Jane
