Hi,
I was chatting with Piotr Tabor and he's concerned that we don't
spend enough time looking at patches. I tried to clean many of them
out a couple months back but there are many good patches in there
so in an attempt to keep the people happy who are giving us their
spare time myself, Andy, Kenney, and John are going to spend
Tuesday August 21st working with people to process patches. So it's
going to work like this. If you are pissed about one of your
patches not getting processed and you think it's a good patch then
you can sign yourself up here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+Patch+Day
The name, description, JIRA are standard but there is also a rank
there. You tell us how good you think your patch is from 1-10,
we'll start with the 10s. It is not easy for any of us to stop work
for a whole day to do this so please try to provide tests with your
patches and give us lots of 10s. Between the 4 of us we cover North
America and Europe all day. We'll process as many patches as we can
that day and you have a week to prepare. I don't know how this will
work, we have never done but I think it will be fun to try.
Maven users can thank Piotr for having the balls to say he didn't
believe me when I said I would process his patch. "Sure you will,
when hell freezes over!". He didn't say, but he wanted to! He was
very polite but I take the point nonetheless. Thus we have Maven
Patch Day. This will work best if you are around that day when we
try to process your patch, being in our IRC @ irc.codehaus.org:6667
#maven would greatly help if we need you to adjust/fix your patch
so we can include it. We hope there are some feedback loops and we
can look at patches, tell you what might need to change, you fix
them and then we'll try to reapply. But if you want to get a patch
applied then use the week to sync your sources, get your patch up
to date and that will make it easier for us to get your work in.
Thanks,
Jason
