Lego applied to Free Software contributions (15 min)¶

These slides prepare students for the Lego activity, and ensure they understand the metaphors in use. The Lego in the exercise represents the code of a software project, in this case OpenStack. The students all take on roles that represent various facets of the OpenStack community, including upstream roles like Foundation and TC, and contributors like corporations, and unaffiliated individuals animated by unknown motives (free agents).

The group is split into their new ‘teams’ at this stage. Facilitators can choose any way they prefer to do this (selecting teams, or allowing students to self-select). The recommended numbers are in the slides, but can be changed to suit the number of participants in the room. For a very large group, consider separating into two ‘communities’, which then have to fit their streets together to complete the session. Having more communities requires an extra level of coordination to reach interoperability between the results of their work.

Give each person a nametag to wear, with their first name and their role written on it. For free agents, don’t disclose who is distracted, controversial, or agreeable. The community will need to work this out on their own.

Simulazione di contribuzione (2 ore)¶

Ahead of time: ensure the existing Lego buildings are set out on a table, but not connected to each other. All the unsorted bricks should be available in several smaller boxes in a different part of the room, for participants to use. There is no need to display the boxes or instruction manuals.

Once the students are separated into their new roles, and have an understanding of the project, begin the timer for the first sprint. During the five minutes planning time, encourage each group to get together and think about their project. If possible, give each group a corner of the room and access to a whiteboard or flipchart. For companies, ensure the CEO sets a direction, and the team is on board. Their responsibility is to deliver value to their stakeholders. For upstream, have them think about the community standards they want to set: they are responsible for the quality of the finished product. For free agent contributors, use this time to get them to understand their role in the simulation: explain their part as agents of chaos. They can get straight to work as soon as they understand their role, no need to wait for the timer to go off. The free agents should not be forced to coordinate among themselves: there are better results if they find out how hard it is to accomplish anything without coordinating with others. In theory, the free agents can decide to demolish things, too: try suggesting this option to one of them, see what happens.

Suggestions of projects to work on:

• Companies: big industrial items like a shopping mall, carpark, energy plant, datacenter, and hospital.
• Free agents: community items like vegetable patches, bicycle paths, public artworks, playgrounds. For the controversial agent, problematic items such as a jail, skate bowl, and dog park.
• Upstream: consider guidelines around consistency in the bricks used, how to connect the road and sidewalk between the buildings, the kinds of buildings they should request the community to make, and the things they simply will not accept. Make them understand that they are responsible for the finished product.

Start the timer for building time, and allow everyone to start work. During each building phase, have mentors wander around the groups listening in and making suggestions, without actually doing any of the work or giving answers. The role of the mentors is to ask questions to orient the conversations among the teams. For example, during the first sprint it is common that the CEO and the PTL will face incompatibility of their plans. Mentors should ask the teams how to address those issues.

In your interactions with the students, do not be afraid to provoke some issues. For example, bring up the idea of an API (a way of connecting the buildings to each other) with individual companies, but don’t mention it to upstream, so that upstream are finally faced with the challenge of standardizing the API. You could also, in the second or third sprint, encourage one group to call for a meeting off the sprint cycle to sort the problem out.

During the final five minutes of the sprint (review time), ask everyone to take their hands off the Lego, and gather around the in-progress street. At this stage, upstream get to vote on the changes, and anything rejected gets sent back to the contributing group to be fixed. Ensure upstream give good reasons for rejections, along with suggestions for improvement. Encourage Upstream to reject a few things early on, to try and ensure contributors understand the need to have Foundation on board before they throw something over the wall.

At the end of the four sprints, ensure you take a group photo!

Piano di contribuzione (2 ore)¶

Diapositive ODP PDF slides

• Gli studenti usano dei modelli di diapositive per preparare una presentaziode di 5 minuti della loro contribuzione prevista.

• Un modello di presentazione viene dato dall’insegnate, come esempio

• Each student group prepares a presentation describing:
• the contribution they plan to work on during the online sessions
• how they will engage with the Upstream
• how it contributes to the company’s agenda
• and whom they will be working with

• Ciascun gruppo di studenti presenta le proprie diapositive alla classe
