Background
The goal of this activity is for you to become familiar with the communication modes of an open source project. For more information please see the Intro to FOSS activity page.
In addition, there's a nice [video] on "how to communicate with your community" that Brian Proffitt at Red Hat has created -- the first couple minutes are about channels like IRC, mailing lists and forums and how they are used in open source communities.
Directions
Locate the IRC channel your open source project uses. Monitor that IRC channel for one week (7 days) or until there is at least 400 lines.
Please provide the following pieces of information about your open source project:
- Name
- Website
- Description
- Project Goal
- Communication Modes (find all modes of communication i.e. IRC, website, etc.)
Write a reflection on the culture of the community, the professional behaviour, challenges with non-synchronous communications, different time zones (if applicable).
