openFIRST Project Status Immediately after Kickoff

This is a status update to let you know what’s currently planned for the 6 week build period immediately following the Kickoff. Most of the current project members will be focusing on the projects of their own team (such as their team website, and their team robot). During the build period there will be minimal patching made. No new feature development is currently planned for during the build period.

During the build period there will be full support provided for teams using the openFIRST project. This support is available through the usual means, including e-mail, this Chief Delphi forum, and Bugzilla.

New team members are welcome to join even now and through the build period. Contacting me is probably the fastest way to express interest.

It is anticipated that in the period directly after the build period new features which have been independently developed/tested for individual team sites will be contributed back to the project; it is also anticipated that new team members will join the project after the build period when they feel they have more free time.
