I’m gleefully tagging along to the newest trend of blogging about useful/ important things. This is better than most of the trends I’ve seen lately (aka, attention girls: tights are not pants).
Addressing the division of teams thing-
iFoundry is all about the real world, right? Yes, academia is nice, but often, that’s not what real engineering is like. So in the spirit of the ‘real world’, however cruel, do you really think picking a project and going along with it is how it works? Although I have little exposure to the ‘real world’ (::cough:: freshman ::cough::), I hardly believe that’s how it works. No, you’re in a group of engineers, given a vision and have to discern what exactly you want that vision to be. Part of that process is convincing others that your idea is the best, compromising with them. After all, getting what you want (and think is right, hopefully) is an art form. Better yet, it’s a subject to be studied and learned. If we’re allowed to be idealistic here, then I’d even venture to say that the project could/should encompass something everyone wants. That’s success in its truest form, isn’t it? Basically, I think the way groups are picked should stay the same.
As for the communication thing? iFoundry stretched itself a bit too far. We need to find/create one forum for communication, and if Islam has an idea for it, I would love to hear it.
