git ssb

Session 2018-02-09

Went well

• people having fun gifs / images to play with
• deciding who's going to mars initially
  • voting on who to send to mars
• tech worked perfectly
• prep / coordinationg + comms in the session were all really good
• question queue
• showing people chess / ticktack

Didn't go well

• being grumpy with eoin felt stink
• we were a bit flat energy
• 'friends' was confusing (it's a fb concept)
• people using false identities to start with felt a bit lorem ipsum
  • suggest people use real identities to start with
• patchwork interface looks really empty to start with
• we didn't role play too much
• scuttleverse reveal was a bit meh

Surprises

• techies didn't ask that many questions about tech
• non-techies seemed to intuit a lot

Learnings

• we expect minimum numbers to run the workshop (>= 6)
• intro the diary + gossip first
• prep rad patterns people might not notice
  • interoperability
  • disaster resilience

• we should strongly show people git-ssb (esp for devs)

• enable better scuttleverse merging

  • tell people about immutability!
  • modify the roleplay so that people feel alright merging their content into the main verse
