Mifos has been accepted for the Google Summer of Code 2009! Working on Mifos has been my full-time job since October of 2007. The Google Summer of Code is an awesome program funded by Google wherein students get paid to work on FLOSS. Yay!
If you’re an eligible and interested student, check out our ideas page, hop on IRC during US/Pacific business hours, ask away on the mailing list, download the code, try building it, etc. and we’ll get you signed up!
How do folks stay on task? Work ethic? Inspiration from Stephen R. Covey or David Allen? Tools? Ability to focus? Coffee?
For most folks I’ve asked directly, the answer is “some combination of the above”.
Inspired by this post by Justin Miranda of OpenMRS and a recent conversation with George, I decided to give my 2ยข on some stuff I’ve tried and what seems to work.
I used to use PocketMod (half in jest), then a big vimoutliner-formatted plain text TODO file under version control, but lately I use RememberTheMilk because of the various views of tasks, APIs and ease of use.
I use gnotime for time tracking. The interface is pretty dismal so I just use one task to keep track of hours. It actually has a slick (albeit arcane) guile/html reporting engine, and I’ve made one simple custom report so I can import hours into our timesheet system at work.
