Basic Hack-Night Arbiter

• User can start a hack-night with a list of emails
• Emails are sent to users with URL to provide availability
• Users can mark their availabilities per night for 2-week window
• Once all availabilities are provided, a series of overlapping nights is presented

Advanced topics might include deciding on a topic, each hack could have a silly name to make it memorable after large amounts of drinking.

Requirements

• Runs on Heroku (http://hollow-frost-272.herokuapp.com/)

Pre-development

Add a story to tracker

• Story should just be a single task not an entire feature.
• Add a description.
• Attach a jpg for design, if needed.
• Tag the story with the feature name for easy lookup
• Do not add points. That belongs to the developer
• Do not add tasks to the story. We use those for development. If you have a list of items or values, add them in the description.

EMG Branching and Acceptance Strategy

Overview

Need to just refine our process a bit because it's becoming too much of a burden for acceptance testing. This might only be in place until product launch and then we can review and revise. All acceptance testing will be done on the staging server.

Problems this will solve

Update rvm and enable hook:
