Hi, I attended the Qt Contributor Day in San Francisco [1], and talked a little about infrastructure for the Qt project. At Kitware we have been building on the topic branch functionality developed for the Qt project, adding features and fixing bugs we found in a branch available on Github [2].
I have added a page to kick off the process of collaborating on infrastructure projects [3]. I would like to kick off the process of effectively collaborating on some of the tools we need to enhance the Qt project, and am thinking of things like Gerrit for code review, JIRA, CI integration and testing as well as domain specific debugging tools like Gamma Ray. I am particularly interested in how we can enhance Gerrit, effectively using topic branches in the code review process with CI integration and static analysis to do as much as possible to verify the code before a reviewer spends much time reviewing the code. I added my name, and hope others interested in this area would add themselves along with their areas of interest. We intend to work with the Gerrit developers to upstream the topic review functionality, and would like to work with the Qt project. We have a Gerrit instance at Kitware, and share many similar goals for code review and CI integration. I look forward to hearing from others interested in enhancing the tools and infrastructure to enhance the Qt project and its software processes.
