Not sure if we'd repeat the content, or cover something different 19:06:33 so far it's really good, covers good topics like searching for issues first and I liked acozine's example 19:07:07 I would put that out to the community, perhaps in a contributor experience meeting :P 19:07:26 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 :) 19:11:30 alongchamps: are you suggesting a poll/survey before hand to collect ideas? 19:11:51 I think a poll would be a good idea 19:12:21 What type of questions would you expect in such a poll? 19:13:11 I'm not sure where to start with that one to be honest 19:13:54 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 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 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 so building up the Working Groups is going to be key 19:20:04 sounds like a good start 19:20:53 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 https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/407 2019-02-21 19:22:10 yep, I'll confirm once I get closer 19:24:16 Cool, Even for 10 minutes it can be good 19:24:31 alongchamps: Any other questions or comments at this time? 19:24:39 looking forward to it 19:24:45 nothing else from me 19:24:54 cool, guess we'll end here 19:25:13 Lots of people are out this week due to fossdem/cfgmgmtcamp/etc 19:25:28 alongchamps: Thanks for your time, please do shout out if there is anything 19:25:29 all right, have a good rest of your day! 19:25:31 #endmeeting
