This spike uses the Google Api to develop metrics on calendar events.
It seeks to answer the following questions:
- How many meetings exist in a given calendar?
- How many events are created with an agenda?
- Who organises meetings?
- How long do meetings last?
This is achieved by creating a standard meeting title format based on the Karma Commit Convention.
This project is not yet in a buildable stage.
If you clone the project you won't be able to build it due to credential authorization and configuration.
I recommend following the tutorials I mention in my Approach section.
Watch this space for updates.
Meetings can be pain but they don't have to be. I recently wrote about it here.
I wanted to create a way to start measuring how my team was investing their collaboration energy. Through measuring we could begin to make improvements.
We've been experimenting with using the Karma Commit Convention (<type>(scope):<subject>) on my team's meeting invites which creates a standard meeting format, one that's a lot easier to query and measure.
Right now for example, we have the following:
meet(graphite): Develop SLIs
retro(team): Last iteration
huddle(slackbot-spike): How to productionise?
1-1(sarah): Discuss meeting-tracker project
We're still working on allowed type values.
Hopefully this will generate some interesting information and conversations.
I'm following a few resources to get this spike working:
