How we build Resonate

Product
1

#platform is where Resonate works on its digital products. Each product has its own sub-category here.

How we work

Here’s the tl;dr:

  1. We write a story(s) in the community

  2. We make designs in Figma

  3. We set an #platform:epics with stories, designs, and a date

  4. We code our epics on the date we set

For a longer version, here’s a diagram we made :slight_smile:

(if you want to make it look nicer, here’s the Sketch file: Resonate Development.sketch (205.2 KB), just post a better version below :wink: )

If you want an even longer version, just reply below with a question.

Who’s responsible for this?

Each product has a product owner and a lead developer, head over to the product category to check out who’s the product owner and dev for the product you’re interested in.

How do I get involved?

There’s a whole other topic for that!

An ecosystem approach is essential for growth and innovation API centric approach with well published and maintained developer materials and support. Microservices. API management.
7 Human Centric We prioritise human interactions between members and use technology to augment rather than replace the human element. Differentiates us. Humanises the co-op. We will innovate and use tech like AI and ML in the service of members (e.g. music discovery) and increasing productivity, only where appropriate.
8 Collaborative Governance We make rational transparent decisions between alternatives, based on agreed principles and processes. Co-operative principles. Better decision-making Architecture and Development governance processes to be created and followed. Transparency and best value (e.g. open source, commodity IT)
9 Open Source, W3C standards We prefer open source components and everything we do is open, where security permits. The commons. Better code. Better collaboration. PWA apps before proprietary, OIDC/OAUTH2 for identity, RESTful API’s, Docs and repos on GitHub
10 Green IT We prefer IT infrastructure services that are renewable powered and consider environmental impact in our IT decisions. Human solidarity and survival. Select renewable-powered data centres for hosting. Avoid inefficient technologies.
