Settlement Meeting Ahoy!



Now that we're picking up steam with Settlement Development after Clonkonaut compiled the Settlement Design Document, I think it would be prudent to have another clonk meeting to help aid us in development.

Topics will include:

  • 1. What the game's current state is and what functionality/content has been developed and how it works. This will help to spread understanding between developers so we are all on the same page while developing. Developers of each system/object will explain the systems to the other team members. There will be a pause after each to address questions/criticism of the system. The list of systems/objects that will be discussed is detailed here. Many topics will take a very short time to cover and may not seem important, but it is crucial every content developer understands the content he is developing around. Please reply if I am missing anything (note: I have focused mainly on game-content topics. If you want to have another engine related topic in the meeting, reply with the topic in a post so we can keep everything organized). Topics will have a maximum of 8 minutes each to explain and discuss (though the majority should take only 2-4 minutes).

  • 2. Commentary and Ideas for the Settlement Design Doc. Subtopics will be the contents/construction menus, settlement goals, and all topics listed in the "Theory Needed" portion of the SDD.

  • 3. Assigning tasks from the Settlement Design Doc. This should be fairly straightforward.

  • 4. Prioritizing Bugs related to Settlement Development and assigning them to developers.


So, if time estimates are close enough, the meetings will be arranged as such:

Meeting 1: The first half of the meeting will be discussion of meta-topic 1. At the half-hour mark we will break to discuss meta-topics 3 and 4.
Meeting 2: We will start by finishing up whatever is left to discuss of meta-topic 1. After, we will end by discussing meta-topic 2.

Voting for the date and time will be done here:

The possible dates are between Oct-19th (Wednesday) to 25th (Tuesday), and the possible times are (GMT+2) 16:00 (4pm), 18:00 (6pm), and 20:00 (8pm).

Know that this meeting may take over 2-3 hours to complete.
The meeting is planned to be split into two one-hour segments spanning 2 separate days.

Hope to see you there!

Added myself in doodle. A quick note on the time: My experience is that 2-3 hours are too long for an IRC meeting, latest after one hour or so many people already start to idle. Some points should be split up and could be topic on the next meeting, they don't have to be stuffed all in one. Namely, I think 1 and 3(&4) are the most important things, so they should be treated first.

Good idea. The first section itself could take a fair chunk of time, so if that goes over a ~half-hour in the first meeting we'll stop there, and save the rest for the next meeting.

Note that until end of October continental Europe has GMT+2.

Ah, thanks. Doodle uses automatic time zone configuration, so that should already be fine.
Parent - By Maikel Date 2011-10-16 09:23
I am not sure about any date after saturday, so these are orange(which is no option) for me.
Parent - - By ala [de] Date 2011-10-16 10:20
Mind me participating? :) (without beeing a developer ;))
Parent - By Shadow [de] Date 2011-10-16 12:10
yeah, like to join too without beeing one!
Parent - By Ringwaul [ca] Date 2011-10-16 17:16
Yes, it's fine that you (both) attend. The meeting will be open to all in #openclonk-dev.

Settlement meeting will be tomorrow (Wednesday) at 20:00 (GMT+2) based on the majority.

Those who have not signed the doodle but are invited to come to explain their contributions for meta-topic 1 are: JCaesar, Günther, and ST-DDT.
Parent - - By Ringwaul [ca] Date 2011-10-19 01:01
Update: Due to changing circumstances the dates of the meetings have been changed. Sorry about that.

First meeting: Friday 21st at 20:00
Second meeting: Saturday 22nd at 18:00

Times are GMT+2.
Parent - By MimmoO Date 2011-10-19 07:22
works fine for me :)
Parent - - By ST-DDT [de] Date 2011-10-19 09:26
I'll join this meeting.

This will be 19:00 (GMT+1 (Germany))?
Parent - By Clonkonaut [ie] Date 2011-10-19 10:25
Until daylight-saving time lasts (Sommerzeit), Germany has GMT+2. So these are the exact times in Germany.
Parent - By Clonkonaut [ie] Date 2011-10-19 10:26
I see to be there in Friday but can't promise anything for Saturday. 17:00 (for me) is very early ;)
Parent - - By Newton [de] Date 2011-10-20 19:29
Could someone create a protocol for this meeting? I won't be there (c'mon, Friday evening!)
Parent - - By Ringwaul [ca] Date 2011-10-20 20:15

>Could someone create a protocol for this meeting?


I reckon I'll coordinate the meeting as it progresses. The schedule will be arranged as: the first meeting covering meta-topic 1 for the first half (8 minutes max per topic, though they are expected to be much shorter on average). At the half-hour mark we will leave what's left of meta-topic 1 for meeting 2, and discuss meta-topics 3 and 4.

>I won't be there (c'mon, Friday evening!)


Apologies for that. I arranged the meetings so (according to the doodle) 1. the highest priority developers to attend (Newton, Maikel, Clonkonaut, Zapper, Mimmo_O) would only be missing one each meeting, 2. the majority, and 3. tried to make sure every developer attended at least one.
Parent - By Sven2 [de] Date 2011-10-20 21:54
Yeah, screw those social tryhards who go out on Fridays!

I could probably be there. But I'm not really involved in settlement, so I didn't add myself to the doodle.

What happen?
Parent - - By Ringwaul [ca] Date 2011-10-22 21:54
A personal emergency came up and I was unable to attend. I take it the meeting was put on hold?
Parent - By Clonkonaut [ie] Date 2011-10-22 22:01
According to my buffer nothing happened, yep ;) I hope everything's alright?

Yeah, it was disabled. I enabled it.

How am I relevant to it?
