Breakfast was served at 9 today. After one and half days the Wintercamp had found it's pace. The atmosphere at Koppars is amazing, the historic timber main building with it large, roubust kitchen easily hosts 15 people and is the main hub for the activities. This is where we hangout, cook, eat, play games, work, meet and 3D print stuff. The main building is surrounded by a few smaller but equally rustic, yet rugged buildings, and this is where we sleep, breakout for smaller work sessions, and retreat for some relaxtion.

Today some of the groups have completed the majority of their main tasks and either went on to refine them or started other minor tasks. A few of the groups reorganized with new members to solve specific tasks.
Group "Sean, Erik and Rudde" are done with the integration of the bolierplate and the TFS/preview server so they split up to join the other groups.
Sean and Erik
Sean started writing a console application for checking in and comitting code to the TFS. After a while, he realised that it added almost no value at all, so it was all shelved.
Instead, he and Erik helped Rob and Arnold with the Commerce integration and installer. Sean also joined the project management team to translate copy and cases for the Nansen site.
Rod & Arnold
- making sure the scripts all execute smoothly.
- lots of testing and fixing to improve the performance of the scripts.
- dealing with some of the idiosyncrasies of powershell within visual studio.
Basically the result of the day was getting the six Power Shell scripts that automates the Commerce installer ready. Current state of it is that it is a half manual installer. Rob and Arnold is aiming for a demo tomorrow.
Andreas O, Giovanni, Andreas N
Johan focused a lot on the overall performance of the boilerplate. He has been reducing a lot of http-request and enhanced performance in the Boilerplate.
The change to the 12 col grid also necessitated a rewrite of a lot of class names and ids, so those have been changed and will be merged.
Andreas N has also updated all of the documentation on GitHub for this new version.
Andreas O has been working on the modul.js developing it further and also added/updated the documentation.
Yaaayyy, lunch! |
Each day we had different people responsible for the lunch and dinner. Here is Tove finishing up todays chicken pesto. |
Maria, Tove, Lotta, Robert, Andreas C and Rudde
- Lay low on the Trello/Jira integration. Use annotations for the high level descriptions of the wireframes and then refer and link to Jira or Trello for more in depth documentation and requirements.
- Create sitemap functionality where the outcome of IA or a content audit can live.
- Create some kind of "Ready for approval" functionality. Do not duplicate functionality that is already in Jira or Trello.

Robert, Tove, Lotta
Robert has been writing a case for Stockholm Vatten and helping out with the Trello template/checklist and added it all to Vault.
And that concluded the third day at the Wintercamp.
