Categorizing my projects and ideas

How do I organize my projects, ideas and writings?

Most of the time, a single idea can become multiple ideas.

  • When organizing an event, I might Build small things to automate the event, or introduce interesting/interactive elements to make it not boring and repetitive.
  • When thinking of a project (i.e. DevOps Fuck-up Handbook & Podcast), those can be done in multiple mediums: Podcast for discussions, Meetups for people to ask and learn together, Handbook as a material for developers.

Instead of grouping a idea or project into directories whether they're a talk, community project, event, meetup, writing ideas, stupid hacks, project ideas or more, it's better to just write it, tag it and let it expand!

Another example is Spaceth's MESSE; it starts out as a science experiment, but quickly expand to talks, writings and many things. Let's aim for that.

Tags to categorize ideas and projects

We can use markdown tags to to categorize projects - each project can have multiple tags.

  • #community for developer community projects. Use #meetup, #talk, #event, #hackathon, #campaign when applicable.
  • #idea for ideas.
  • #talk for talk ideas.
  • #project for projects.
  • #article for longer-form content.

Archives

My stuff from 2017 to 2020 will be grouped into four categories: "Communities", "Projects", "Talks" and "Writings".
