2024/11/12

Episode 0090: Honor the Customer

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/11/05

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: The user story seems like a basic idea, often dismissed as a part of the much-maligned Agile method but often a real and legitimate representation of why any initiative is undertaken and for whom. If one is looking for motivation or reason of any kind to participate in community elevation initiatives, look around, your users and customers are all around you.

Episode 0089: Fediverse

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/10/29

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: You may or may not be aware of The Fediverse. Unlike The Metaverse, this is actually a real thing, and in fact we could argue that it has been around in one way or another the whole time. Surely a component of our Virtual Vegas vision, making our Smart City Smarter, should include something intersecting The Fediverse, how about this week?

2024/10/22

Episode 0087: Test and Debug Everything

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/10/15

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Obviously we test and debug and test again and debug yet more our various software applications and whatnot, and then you the customer, the user, does more testing for us. The same goes for everything else, not merely Software, and we can always do better across the board.

Episode 0085: Hacktoberfest 2024

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/10/01

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: That time of year is upon us once again, a truly scary time indeed. When the curious and inexperienced are invited to sprinkle some contribution to open source projects or initiatives out on the Internets, wherever the lights are on and a Hacktoberfest tag has been left like a creature of darkness between the curious and the candy. It is good, but is it great? Links Innovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.org Our GitHub Org

Episode 0084: The Bazaar

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/09/24

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Somewhere around 25 years ago, one of the various open source luminaries, Eric S Raymond, was working on and eventually published a book entitled The Cathedral and The Bazaar, a collection of essays about adventures developing software and business. We are pursuing The Bazaar here so why not describe that a bit in context.

Episode 0082: Points

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/09/11

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Story Points are one of the two least popular aspects of Agile to tackle for our own Agile for Volunteers implementation. The other is the daily stand-up, which is also optional, but Story Points are completely misplaced in a volunteer organization without a commercial style need to hit release dates. Sort of.

Episode 0081: Whole Team

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/09/04

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: One of the more essential elements of the original Agile brought over to Agile for Volunteers, and to our endeavors in general, is the notion that all participants should be able to, and should be enabled and encouraged to, contribute to the planning, implementation, and ongoing development of initiatives and projects. This may be a new idea for newcomers and maybe even a curious thing for non-coders. Let´s get into it! Links Innovate for Vegas Foundation

Episode 0079: Volunteer Time Management and Value

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/08/20

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: Volunteer time is gold as we say here at the Foundation, and so we endeavor to shine light upon it, and to best do that we need to write things down. Knowing who did what for which projects is important, not only for giving due credit, but for managing the resources volunteered not only by one, but by all concerned, especially when there is collaboration involved… Links Innovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.org Our GitHub Org

2024/08/13

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Programming languages, there are many. So many. Sometimes a company or project will pick what people like to call a Tech Stack with specific programming languages, tools, libraries, modules, and so on, to focus the efforts of their developers, but we are not going that route.

Is this the best way to go?

Episode 0076: Manual vs Automatic

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/07/30

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: Digital versus analog clocks, calculators versus slide rules, and up near the top of a very long list, Generative AI making things for us versus people making themselves. Why does any of this matter? The question is how much learning may have happened before adopting the labor-saving route.

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: What is Open Source and what does it mean to you? Maybe nothing, maybe everything, but it is what powers all of our efforts, from the tools we use to the things we are building, and there are some things to ponder into the future of all of this.

Let’s Innovate for Vegas ·

2024/07/09

Show NotesHost: Dan Hugo Summary: Agile has been getting a bad rap for a while now, yet we have adopted Agile for Volunteers as a way to involve contributors of creative works in project description and implementation through the User Story process with two-week Iterations and the presumption that one contributor may not return after.
