In the trenches...
It was 4:36pm on the Friday and the table in the board room was littered with empty coke cans, pizza boxes and one Japanese bento lunchbox, owned by a particularly stubborn member of the team who had vowed never to eat pizza again. It had been Marcus' idea to bring in the food reinforcement to help the discussions along. The team were trying to decide how to organise their model.

"There's nothing to say we can't use a combination of the models is there?" asked Mike.

"I suppose not," said John. "What did you have in mind." His glasses were slipping down his forehead now and he was getting pretty tired.

"Well, I figure, we basically have the software split into two parts. We have the library, which myself, Klaus and Jack work on. Then there's the UI elements which Simon, Martha and Rob handle. I know there are the tools which Eugene works on too." Everyone had started to listen to Mike as he continued. "John, you don't want to have to deal with the library component as this more Klaus' space. So why don't we have two dictators. Klaus and yourself have access to push up to the blessed repository. John can pull from his guys, Klaus from his and we end up with a good model for version control."

John raised his eyebrows, "Not bad Mike," he said, genuinely impressed. After spending a few hours going through the various models and who was in charge of what, it felt good to have finally reached a decision.

"So, we start on Monday then?" asked Markus, who had been listening from the other end of the table.

"Indeed." Announced Klaus, "Monday we all become Gits!"
