2020-03-17 Meeting notes

Confluence

Understand how PMs are using current templates:

• Meeting notes 

• Task report

• Vacation/out

• Check out if there is another table type in Confluence that has easier tools.

• Christine Barone (Unlicensed) determined with Fei Li (Unlicensed) that only the new table format is fully supported by Confluence Cloud. “I received from Fei about moving/ copying pages from the old site and whether that would cause problems or compatibility issues on the new site: Good question! I’m not sure what the answer is, but if I had to guess, I think it’ll work, but we’ll still be stuck with the newer interface..”

• Date(s) out, name

• Bill Hackenberg (UCLA) (Unlicensed) to remove the vacation table for the ICs and keep the page at a simple text page (format is “date(s) out, name”) 10 Mar 2020
• Christine Barone (Unlicensed) will do the other vacation pages and will verify with Fei about the tables.
• Lena Zentall (Unlicensed) will copy over the RFP table (and see if it was a template) for Bills.
• Christine Barone (Unlicensed) will check with Fei Li (Unlicensed) if the two table formats we are seeing in Confluence Cloud are fully supported 10 Mar 2020

Other tools and practices

• Cards (bunnyholes)

• Parking lot / future agenda item (last item on every agenda) -- review suggested practice and get feedback. Ask for an acknowledgement that you got the item written correctly.

• Lena Zentall (Unlicensed) will send Bill bunny card image and fix the agenda template to move “Future Agenda” to the bottom of the page.
