Teams, newcomers and numbers
Teams in Debian are somehow in flux. In many teams it is not fully clear
who is currently contributing or has moved to some other tasks while
newcomers might be at the doorstep but have trouble to enter. In
teammetrics some numbers where gathered. While these give some hints
about the structure of a team, like how many people are effectively
contributing and how good the workload is shared between the team
members, it also enables interesting insight into the release process in
general. This talk tries to present some conclusion from the numbers
I’ve drawn specifically for the teams I’m working in. I will also
discuss the problem, that in the freeze time before each release the
overall activity will decrease.
