Radiators

Radiators

Tom Denley ran a session on using information radiators.

What To Radiate

* CI build information
* CI load
* Code clean-up graphs
* Twitter
* Prod status?

How To Radiate

* Big plasma
* Multi-screen wall
* Screens dotted about
* Desktop application
* Writing on the wall
* Digital picture frames

Case Study: Radiating CI Build Information

* Builds passing/failing
* Builds running/waiting
* Running build progress bar
* Time since last build
* Committers on the current build
* Failing builds marked under investigation
* DOH! -- everything is red, but don't panic I'm on it

Tips

* Be wary of information overload
* Be opinionated
* Have fun
