Should be on the website soon 18:19:19 Will be asking the attendees of the London Meetup for help 18:21:08 gregdek: I'd still like to do some sort of hackathon thing, though I'm not really sure what it would look like 18:21:14 or if it needs to be in person 18:21:20 Also reach out to the benelux meetup, which is full of good folks. We should also mention it at cfgmgmtcamp. 18:21:53 Hackathons are challenging, but the nice thing is, you can just set one up and see who shows up, if you have the space. 18:21:59 * gundalow will join benelux 18:22:14 Red Hat London has nice space for for working 18:22:17 The likelihood of getting enough people who have the requisite skills in one place to contribute much is fairly low, experience says. 18:22:22 nod 18:22:24 But if you can find 2-3, you're winning! 18:22:33 And in London, you've obviously got a much better chance of that. 18:22:33 and having a good enough list of things to work on 18:26:45 So what do you think that list looks like? 18:26:59 not sure 18:27:07 it partly depends on what people are interested in 18:27:15 Right. 18:27:31 We have lots of useful, though very small things that add value that CI detects 18:27:34 And that's also part of the problem: there are now thousands of things for people to be interested in, and likely all different :) 18:27:47 such as documentation issues, fixing of python imports 18:28:10 But still. I think if you say "hey we're gonna work on this" you might get a few people, and introducing them to the Ansible development process is a win. 18:28:13 We've found people in the community chipping away though those lists, which is good 18:28:56 Excellent 18:29:52 For sometime I've been thinking about a blog post 18:30:07 * updates in development 18:30:12 * updates in testing 18:30:21 * how //you// can help 18:30:35 which will also publicise the various community groups 18:31:36 yesyesyesyesyes 18:33:04 :D 18:33:30 Do you already have some motivational words regarding the community groups? 18:33:44 hum, I'll start drafting something in Google Docs 18:35:08 Silly things like releases always get in the way of me writing it :( 18:35:36 Uh, motivational words? 18:35:48 Like "if you want to help, thank you"? :) 18:36:15 Ask not what your Comunity can do for you... 18:36:33 Heh. 18:36:50 hum, maybe this will be 18:37:04 blog one: 18:37:07 * what is a WG 18:37:07 If the content is good, it's kind of its own motivation. "This is needed and can actually help all of us" can go a long way in a large community. 18:37:23 * List of each, what they've been doing 18:37:32 * Link to there wiki 18:37:37 their* 18:38:03 * How to get involved 18:38:09 * How to setup a WG 18:38:20 whatcha think? 18:38:35 then blog 2 would be about testing WG has been doing 18:38:58 other blogs in the future could be about the other groups 18:42:10 Build up a community/dev section of articles for blogsite 18:42:36 I like it. 18:43:28 gregdek: feel free to remind me I said I'd so this in a month 18:43:31 :) 18:43:35 Nothing else from me 18:44:10 LOL 18:44:19 You know it's true :) 18:44:27 Good intentions and such. I know. 18:44:47 But hey, if you want to bang together a few paragraphs in a shared Google doc, I'm happy to help. 18:45:37 I'll stick around for another 15m and then we'll close. 18:47:51 * gundalow -> food 18:47:54 gregdek: Thanks :) 18:58:18 #endmeeting
