Lunchtime Seminar - Sprint to Success

In July, IS Applications and Learning, Teaching and Web Services jointly ran the first EdWeb code sprint, where a group of more than a dozen developers from around the University came together to work on bug fixes and new features for EdWeb.  The code sprint was a great success, and the change improvements contributed on that day were deployed to the live EdWeb service in August.

In this seminar, led by Mairi Fraser and Bruce Darby, we will talk about why the service owner chose to run these code sprints, what we learned from the experience and how the code sprint has furthered our goal of developing a strong development community around EdWeb.

We will also talk about how we plan to build upon this collaboration, and how aspects of our approach might be taken on more widely to allow other services to benefit from this kind of community collaboration.

The seminar is open to all University staff.

Future Seminars

IS Applications Division run a programme of Lunchtime Seminars to update colleagues and share information on what we do and the services we provide.
