Share and celebrate your progress. -- Reach your goal: Do you need to adjust the scope? Do you have time for a new feature. Finish your project. -- Present: Be proud, share what you have done, what you have learned. - -## FAQ - -### Who participates? - -Virtual Coffee's goal is to support all developers, no matter where they are in their coding journey. We encourage all members to participate. -This challenge can be done alone or in a group. - -### How to share my progress? - -Share your progress in the #monthly-challenge channel in Slack. While no other platform is imposed, it can be a good idea to also share on social media for more reach -but only if you are comfortable to do so (Twitter using -or not- the hastag #buildinpublic, a personnal blog, a post on DEV.to, ...). - -Sharing everytime some work is added is a good idea, small progress is still progress. No need to write a detailed blog post: a 140 characters Tweet can be enough. -For example: "Today I added some styling. I used Bootstrap and implemented some cards to display the users in the home page". - -### What if I need help? - -You can ask a question in the #help-and-pairing VC channel, get 1:1 help during Office Hours (check #office-hours channel), join the VC coworking room... -Asking for help is part of the process. diff --git a/monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/standup.md b/monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/other-resources/standup.md similarity index 100% rename from monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/standup.md rename to monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/other-resources/standup.md diff --git a/monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/team-tasks.md b/monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/team-tasks.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..479e05a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/monthly-challenges/Build_in_Public/team-tasks.md @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ +# Build in Public + +## Month + +- July 2023 +- July 2022 +- July 2021 +- June 2021 + +## Description + +In this challenge, we're working on creating a habit of talking about the things we're working on, a plan for continuing progress, and creating a demo for the Virtual Coffee community. + +## Goals + +The idea is to learn to communicate around a project, show the development process, give confidence, and learn to be proud of any progress made. + +## Team Preparation and Tasks + +--- + +- There is no dedicated person in charge of a task.
