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
