The Goobers' Development Process (Patent Pending)

Howdy all,

Sam from Time Goobers Zudios here with an update on how we make the magic happen.  Each week on Wednesday the Goobers have an official status/planning meeting, its almost never our only meeting for that week, but its when we sit down and do our major planning.  We first figure out what we want to accomplish that week, and then we divide tasks up among our members.  No one has an official speciality, and everyone does a little of everything, so who does what often depends on the team member's availability and mood.  Once we've got tasks assigned everyone goes their own way to work.

We'll normally then have smaller meetings throughout the week as team members coordinate their work, or want to ask questions of the person who was working on something last week.  Eventually the week ends, and the time to merge all of our work comes.  We use Git for version controlling, and all during the week each team member has been working in their own branch.  Our software lead is in charge of merging all of these branches together and working with the developers to fix merge conflicts and make sure at the end of each week we have a single stable build that has everyone's work from that week in it.

And thats our process! If you have any questions feel free to post in the comments section below :)
