I just like working from a Google doc instead of email so I plugged
everything in their. Figured others could just use it as a scratch
pad. Is there another location that gives a complete list of all the
topics from all the leads? Anyway, my experience with big.LITTLE
showed me how awesome it is to have a great topic that each team sends
engineers to and is lead by someone who may not be a tech lead at all,
but is the domain expert. I figured if we had all the topics in a
global view we could see what potential tiger teams could form and
prioritize before we got to Hong Kong.
