Committers available for Patch hacking/review meet-up?

Committers available for Patch hacking/review meet-up?

[Steve George]

Hi,

At Guix Days we said we'd organise some patch review sessions.

Q1: Can at least one committer uh ... commit to be at each session to help?

The goal of of the sessions is:

1. Teaching people how to do patch reviews
2. Do some patch reviews together in a friendly hacking session

We said they'd be every 13 days, for 3 months to see if it has interest. 
Proposed calendar:

7th March (Thursday)
20th March (Wednesday)
2nd April (Tuesday)
15th April (Monday)
3rd May (Friday)
16th May (Thursday)
29th May (Wednesday)

Each one held at 19:00 CET / 18:00 BST / 13:00 EST [0] for 1.5 hours.

What I propose is that we'd do the following:

1 - 30 mins: a committer runs through their review process, and shows a 
recent patch or patches they've reviewed. Really informal showing what 
they do.

31-90 mins: we select an issue (or issues) to run through.

What I would like is for one Committer to agree to be in each session. 
We'd then know that a specific person will walk through their process, 
and if the group does review some patches they can be committed so 
there's a "win".

Anyone available? If you are and can put your name down for a particular 
date that would be brilliant!


Q2: Does anyone have permission on 
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix to give a user the right to 
create new pages? I want to document the sessions and how-to's.

Thanks,

Steve
ps Specific people in the 'to' as they've shown an interest
pps I'll send specific info for each session later.

For these, we will have the daylight savings time switch; so maybe we
should move to 19:00 CEST. Something we can do later.

Well, I only ever look at simple packages, and do not think I have anything
resembling a process to share. But I will try to be around in any case :)

Hum, I do not know who did it and how… there is this webpage:

Is Annecy time the same as Paris time? ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for putting this together.

Lately I've been too busy with work and other tasks/priorities to review Guix patches, unfortunately.

Those dates and times conflict with my work hours so I probably won't be able to attend any of the proposed dates.

I live in the CT timezone and I am usually working from 9 AM to 5 or 6 PM CT on weekdays.

I could potentially do a Saturday or Sunday sometime in May.

all best,

jgart

Hi Jgart - understood and no worries - sorry about the timing, hard to 
find something that works for everyone. If you don't mind I'll email you 
a bit closer to May and see what your calendar is like - then we can see 
if organising something on a weekend or maybe recording a video would be 
possible.

Thanks,

Steve
