Releasing the source code for this project is meant to empower military veterans and all developers everywhere to contribute their ideas, energy and time to help close the nation's technical talent shortage with American patriots trained in modern software development. What could be better than reducing veterans unemployment with our very own?

Create - Group Management

Inspired by Initial 6 month plan for Hampton Roads Operation Code Meetup

Groups

The following content is a guideline for group management.

Group Leaders

It is assumed that new group members have little or no experience with software development. Groups must be able to facilitate integrating new members. For this reason, each group will have a designated group leader who can work with individuals to explain programming concepts to team members if necessary.

Attendance

Group leaders are expected to be present for all meetups in which their group is active. If they cannot attend a meeting, they should notify the Moderator prior to the event so arrangements can be made.

Availability

If a group project extends past the first meeting, we encourage the group leader to maintain contact with his team. Group leaders can make themselves available to answer questions outside of the meetup via slack. This maintains a level of consistency with members of the group. It is also recommended that a team DM is created by the group leader to share any pertinent information with their team.

Introduction resources will also be available to new members to consume when away from the meeting.
