Weekly review for the week ending 28th of Feb 2010

Last week I said I would:

1. Finish discussions with the local management team about my responsibilities (done - but still awaiting approval before rolling out)
2. Decide on whether or not to accept invitation to speak in University of Limerick and prepare thoughts if I do. (decided to accept the invitation - will blog shortly about what I intend to say)
   
3. Hold more meetings with product teams using Sametime APIs to see how we can help them update to the latest features (held some meetings, but the list of teams we need to speak to is increasing all the time).
   
4. Build new SUT kit for Ubuntu users within IBM to bring them up to the CF1 code level (not done - turning out to be significantly more complex than I thought)
   
5. GTD Tool selection project
   • Blog about why I chose not to use the  IBM GTD template (not done)
     
   • Evaluate remember the milk and migrate my Toodledo tasks to it if feasible/easy. (evaluated, but didn't migrate yet)
     
6. Micro-blogging on multiple platforms
   
   • Try to make direct contact with Widlfire developers to convince them to merge code with StatusUpdater (not really necessary since WIldfire 1.3 now seems to include most of the SatusUpdater features I wanted)
     
   • Evaluate Bluto and write up on my blog (not done).

Next Week I will to the following actions:

1. Announce changed responsibilities
   
2. Prepare talk for ISKS talk at the University of LImerick.
   
3. Hold more meetings with product teams using Sametime APIs to see how we can help them update to the latest features.
4. Build new SUT kit for Ubuntu users within IBM to bring them up to the CF1 code level
5. Update the Sametime Linux kit build process to address the issues raised by the Open Client team.
   
6. GTD Tool selection project
   • Blog about why I chose not to use the  IBM GTD template 
   • Migrate my ongoing tasks from Toodledo to Remember the Milk and evaluate its ease of use
     
7. Micro-blogging on multiple platforms
   
   • Try out WildFire 1.3. Persuade them to implement a pluggable interface for new services so that we can add support for IBM internal services
     
   • Evaluate Bluto and write up on my blog.
