Events flow and architecture (discussion)

• "Need to know when scrums are to join them - need to access the videos of them."
  
• "Need to know when upcoming pair programming sessions are, join existing ones."

• so other users know about it
  

• so users can join it

• so users can schedule their time

• so past events can be browsed and viewed

• so users can get notified of new/upcoming events

• so I can invite others to join

• so I can let others know when I am available

• when it starts (specific time or schedule)

• planned duration (how long the creator is planning it for)

• actual duration

• participants and host

• what is it about – project, task, PT story, type and tags

• how to join

• how to watch

• expectations for participants (e.g skills, tools, language, etc.)

• minimum attendees (optional?)

• a HO link

• a notification on feed, Slack, calendar, email

• an ability to RSVP (optional?)

• appropriate tools (link to tmux? rubymine? screenhero?)

• status – started/finished/canceled/upcoming

• a recording (link to YT)

• assets prepared before or created during a meeting (notes, docs, chat history, transcript, subtitles, commits, links, )

• rating

• tags

• reviews and discussions

• links (or key time points) to key points within the session  (optional?)

What do I need to notify of planned event?

• summary

• receivers (chat channels, specific people, emails, groups, twitter, g+, facebook. calendars)

• Notify me about events that match certain criteria

• So the event planner can take it into account when scheduling his event – members, skills, their times

• Look up when specific people (with expertise or just fun) are available to invite them

What else I want to do with an event?

• To cancel this instance and/or all future ones

• To change time/duration and/or all future ones

• notify participants (and all the people that were already notified) of any changes

• To start it (and notify that it was started)

• To link assets to an event

How can I create an event or events series?

• from scratch

• from past event as a sample

• from template

• with a generator (for recurring events with known start times)

EventService

it can:

• create a series of events at designated datetimes

• change times for a series of events

• cancel a series of events

it needs:

• an event template (can use existing events)

• schedule (an object or dsl)

• date range (maybe lazily created)
