Hey all,
sorry for keeping you in the dark for such a long time. I will try to update a little more often, since I feel really bad about slacking :(
So, what has been going on in the past week?
Naz: He finished the new groups look and we released it. The release process has not been as flawless as we would liked it to have been, but this just showed us that we really need to work on it :) The layout itself has improved a lot, and in the last few days Naz also reintroduced the chronological view that was not released earlier. He is currently working on reintroducing all the other features that went MIA during the first release, so stay tuned while they reappear.
Unfortunately, Naz left the collective on friday. We begged him to stay and it was really hard for him to go. I would hereby like to thank him so much for all the incredible work he has done for us, and the good times we had with him in our group!
Weston: now officially dubbed "Bug MasterBlaster 5000" by Jim, Weston has continued to solve a whole bunch of bugs. He is also taking the lead in professionalising our processes as he has soem good professional experience with these kinds of things. I think we're going to have to physically force him to stay here soon :(
Casey: Was working on getting the sysadmin team ready so he could actually go to switzerland for the weekend. Except for some minor glitches that would have happened otherwise as well, we made it through the weekend thanks to our amazing sysadmins Diederik and Nico! Furthermore, Casey has been fixing some bugs and of course he is always busy with his regular cs-work being an admin and a founder and all.
He went to Switzerland to see his girlfriend this weekend and is now back with us with refreshed energy, so we are preparing to see him work 22 hours a day again ;)
Jim: while working on more verifications stuff and admin thingies, Jim and me cleaned out the mantis together. We're about halfway through by now, and are hoping to finish "the big sweep" by the end of the week.
Chris has also been solving some bugs as well as managing the tech team and communicating with the leadership team. He has also been working on creating some long term goal docs and some other stuff.
I myself have been extremely busy with work again, and all the time I have left goes to cleaning out mantis :)
So much for this update, whoever is reading this!

Sounds like lots of progress being made! woohoo!! great going guys.
Looks as though targeted collectives with well-defined objectives are the way to go? This would make it clearer for people when they should make a major effort to go, as well - attend not just any collective for the fun of it, but the one related to a member's interest and skills.
Simultaneous collectives in different places on different topics (design, new features, governance structure, other projects) with some good video conferencing could insure things don't get too big while allowing groups to communicate simultaneously.
Maybe a collective to install/establish a set of tools for long-distance collaboration would be worthwhile? I gather there are some super-sophisticated things out there that may be free for nonprofits...
Thanks for the good work you're all doing!
