[HacktionLab] Barncamp 2018

[Ben Green]

Hi all,

there's been talk. Please correct me if any of this is wrong. Mike  
doesn't want to organise Barncamp 2018. Clara and myself would like  
there to be a Barncamp 2018. To this end we would like to find a way  
to get the project organised in as completely decentralised way as  
possible.

Who's in? Who wants to help organise and implement Barncamp 2018? How  
many hours could you put aside and at what times? What could you  
physically bring to the event?

Also part of the talk has been what organising tool we need to sort  
this out. There's been a suggestion of gitlab, but that's really a  
tool pitched as software development. I'm not keen on that one.

More generic tools I think might be useful would be Mantis. They are  
still software based, but are good to use for general issue tracking.  
There's also Whups, which is the Horde framework issue tracker which  
is simple and good, and Bugzilla which I think might be over egging  
the pudding.

So, Mantis is my fave. Happy to install it for people to use. More  
suggestions please.

So though I would like to stick to non-proprietary tools for  
organisation, I think that using doodle for deciding the date would be  
most efficacious. I'll set one up if nobody objects.

I've loads more thoughts and idea for next years barncamp, I'd like  
some of us to set up online meetings to have a bit of banter about it.

Cheers,
Ben
