A Mattermost plugin somewhat similar to pager duty, allows to have rotations with magic "solar lottery" scheduling, or overrides.
- Solar Lottery is a team rotation scheduler, inspired by PagerDuty OnCall, and its predecessor the early amazon.com pager tool.
- Name from a Philip K. Dick novel "Solar Lottery".
- The main motivation to develop was to automate the Sustaining Engineering Team (SET) schedulng.
- Not a traditional queue, scheduling is based on probabilities, exponentially increasing since the last serve time.
- Features (basic):
- Users have skills, rotations have needs, match and constrain.
- Grace periods after serving shifts, apply within the rotation.
- User "unavailable" events.
- Complete manual control over shifts, or "Autopilot"
- Go the releases page and download the latest release.
- On your Mattermost instance, go to System Console -> Plugin Management and upload it.
- Configure plugin settings as desired.
- Start using the plugin!
