Show Notes
RFDs--Requests for Discussion--are how we at Oxide discuss... just about everything! Technical design, hardware component selection, changes in process, culture, interview systems, (even) chat--we have RFDs for all of these, over 500 in a bit under 5 years. Bryan and Adam were joined by Oxide colleagues instrumental to RFDs, from their most prolific author to those making them more consumable.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues, Robert Mustacchi, David Crespo, Ben Leonard, and Augustus Mayo.
Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:
- We're sorry, Germany
- Oxide RFD site
- RFD 1: Requests for Discussion
- A Tool for Discussion (Oxide blog post from Ben)
- Sun PSARC cases
- The Queen's Duck
