Hi, We are coming up for a year of the Community Health Initiative [1]. With goals of
* High level, remove the need for the workgroup and run as BAU * Improve new contributor experience by getting prompt responses to issues and PRs, such that PRs are merged in a timely manner. * Pragmatically address unmerged PR backlog considering * Recent ones (to stay on top of incoming PRs and helping new contributors) * High /critical blocking ones * One that just should be merged. * Pragmatically address issue backlog, especially criticals and blockers * Assumption – all communications go through the dev list. The main participants were @Tom Cooper<mailto:[email protected]>, myself and @Robert Metzger<mailto:[email protected]>. Tom is no longer working with Flink. The achievements of the workgroup have been: * Tom and I have been reviewing Flink PRs, starting from the latest. * Regular PR triaging in weekly meetings. * Massively reducing the PR backlog by introducing the stale Github action. When we started last year, we had 1181 open PRs on the Flink repo, 1030 of them had not been reviewed. We now have 208 open PRs, 200 have not been reviewed and 8 are stale. We seemed to have reached a steady state around 200; which is much more manageable. * To encourage and recognise more reviewing by non-committers we added the 2 community review labels. * We added Github action to label PRs with the targeted branch, so it is easy to see back ports in the list of PRs. * We produced list of the LGTM PRs and straightforward merges that Robert and other committers have merged. * We discussed on going issues, potential ideas around improving the community health as detailed in the minutes. I have very much enjoyed leading this workgroup and am happy to continue if there is support for it, as I am a big believer in the Apache way and community over code. If anyone would like to actively join this workgroup, please let me know, we have been meeting on Teams every week. If I do not hear anything within the next week, then I will stop the weekly meetings and resurrect when the community has the appetite for it. Either way I intend to continue reviewing PRs and be involved/support/own community health improvements; any feedback is welcome. Kind regards and thanks for your support over the past year, David.
