19:03:23 <gundalow> It's generally agreed that Working Groups are the secret to scaling challanges with Ansible, so over the next few months I'd like us to focus on them.
19:03:23 <gundalow> Some initial thoughts:
19:03:23 <gundalow> * Do any of the WG (Working Groups) have anything blocking them?
19:03:23 <gundalow> * Is it clear how someone just starting out can help?
19:03:23 <gundalow> * Do we need to highlight `label:$WG + label:bug` items?
19:03:23 <gundalow> * Does each WG have some guidance/actions in how to increase test coverage
19:03:23 <gundalow> * If we heavily promoted the WG would it help or drown it?
19:03:24 <gundalow> * Would they benefit from a WG specific review day, like #407
19:04:47 <gundalow> alongchamps: how's it going?
19:05:11 <alongchamps> not too bad, thanks - still working on watching that ansible contributors video from a couple of weeks ago but getting through it
19:05:46 <alongchamps> also hoping to get my first PR up sometime soon and figure out my company's procedures for this since we forked devel to another repo, but I'll figure that out as I go
19:05:56 <gundalow> alongchamps: ace
19:05:58 <alongchamps> how about you?
19:06:04 <gundalow> Would love feedback on the webinar
19:06:32 <gundalow> First time we've done a Community webinar, I'd like to do another. Not sure if we'd repeat the content, or cover something different
19:06:33 <alongchamps> so far it's really good, covers good topics like searching for issues first and I liked acozine's example
19:07:07 <alongchamps> I would put that out to the community, perhaps in a contributor experience meeting :P
19:07:26 <alongchamps> see what people are interested in - there's a pretty good amount of modules in ansible and lots of technologies it can touch
19:07:28 <gundalow> :)
19:11:30 <gundalow> alongchamps: are you suggesting a poll/survey before hand to collect ideas?
19:11:51 <alongchamps> I think a poll would be a good idea
19:12:21 <gundalow> What type of questions would you expect in such a poll?
19:13:11 <alongchamps> I'm not sure where to start with that one to be honest
19:13:54 <alongchamps> there could be topics that are specific like triaging tickets, updating documentation, PR review and around all of those, why some decisions are made the way they are
19:15:34 <gundalow> I'm considering doing a blog on how we are tackling the backlog (Working Groups + triage days for what "falls between the cracks")
19:16:16 <gundalow> ie. if you exclude any community bug fix that's covered by a Working Group there are "only" ~150, and that's a small enough number that we can tackle
19:20:02 <gundalow> so building up the Working Groups is going to be key
19:20:04 <alongchamps> sounds like a good start
19:20:53 <alongchamps> I got to the point in the video where the monthly PR review was discussed so I'm checking my calendar now
19:21:32 <gundalow> https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/407 2019-02-21
19:22:10 <alongchamps> yep, I'll confirm once I get closer
19:24:16 <gundalow> Cool, Even for 10 minutes it can be good
19:24:31 <gundalow> alongchamps: Any other questions or comments at this time?
19:24:39 <alongchamps> looking forward to it
19:24:45 <alongchamps> nothing else from me
19:24:54 <gundalow> cool, guess we'll end here
19:25:13 <gundalow> Lots of people are out this week due to fossdem/cfgmgmtcamp/etc
19:25:28 <gundalow> alongchamps: Thanks for your time, please do shout out if there is anything
19:25:29 <alongchamps> all right, have a good rest of your day!
