Basecamp

A proposal for a Mozilla basecamp

• https://basecamp.mozilla.org
• Where a team of contributors can come together to work on project sprints in a basecamp like environment

Pitch

An open atrium Drupal basecamp for all mozilla sites (spreadfirefox , ..) would provide at least two clear benefits ..

1. A more structured environment for contributors coming together to work on project sprints
2. Focusing the conversation to reduce dissapation of information within individual emails & IRC posts

An open atrium basecamp could become a valueable resource of information which would ordinarily have been dissapated within individual emails & IRC posts and potentially could improve productivity for everyone at Mozilla.

More broadly speakly were proposing that for project sprints (on Spreadfirefox, ..) we use Openatrium + IRC instead of Mailing lists / Google groups + IRC and with a little less IRC and that mailing lists are better used for meta projects or overarching projects like Marketing , Drumbeat , ..

Please provide feedback below ..

Getting started

If we get the green light to move forward with implementing a Mozilla basecamp our recommendation would be to pilot the scheme with the Spreadfirefox project sprint to rebuild the site on Drupal 7
