That sounds good.
I tend to think of meetings in the broadest sense,including emails, etc.

It usually takes awhile to come to a consensus unless you have a dictator.

I really just meant there is more to consider than the techs time to do the actual work.

I probably could look this up somewhere but, does WCG have full time management staff or is all part time with other duties within IBM.

I do like the new badges. Whatever it takes to get people motivated.

Adding a hundred year or thousand year badge would be fine with me.

Have team badges ever been considered?

TimAndHedy, World Community Grid have a small but dedicated full-time staff. They don't have a complicated management structure. You have probably seen most of the team post here from time to time.

Me either - I'm determined to get my sapphire for CEP phase I, which should be in just a few days.

Actually what took the longest was finding a break in the schedule where the work could actually be done. Once we arrived at that break, the actual decisions of what badges to make and the implementation went pretty fast.

We've seen the requests for the next set of badges, but it'll probably take as long again before we have time to get them in somewhere, and really, we felt adding the new 3 was more important than pushing it beyond that.

We have also considered the team badge concept, but will require more decision-making in addition to finding the time in the schedule.

As Didactylos said, there are few of us on the WCG Tech Team (and some of get pulled in other directions sometimes, too). We like to think of our development style as slow but steady.

I have found an 11-blue in the stadium, and one 12-blue in the offices surrounding the training fields (our usual mega tester).

Nice job Sunnyboy_, and it confirms that Sapphire is still far enough as a goal for most participants, even in a large competitive team like DPC.

Cheers. Jean.
