Hi,
just a kind reminder that next week it is Hack'n'ACK time again and (on the
time I write this Mail) we have 213 (!) open Pull Requests. I already
discussed locally here in Berlin with some colleagues, how we can maybe
optimize the Hack'n'ACK to get more Pull Requests merged or closed this
time. So here is my idea:
- Every participant takes 5-10 of the PRs they authored and gets them in
a working order with the code base as they see fit (ideally this happens
*before* the Hack'n'ACK)
- At the Hack'n'ACK they go to the maintainer of the PR (if one is
assigned, otherwise a person they see fit) and discuss the PR in person (or
via a chat platform of your choice if the person is not in the same room as
you ;-)) until it is merged (for most PRs this should take maybe 15 min at
maximum).
- if the maintainer is occupied or not present at the Hack'n'ACK go to
the next
- if no maintainers are available be available for other authors to
review their PRs
- If you have nothing to do, see if you can review the PR of an absent
person
- If possible: don't open new PRs during the Hack'n'ACK, unless for the
purpose of subdividing an existing PR.
- As always: try not to be too nitpicky, when reviewing the PRs ;-)
What do you think about these guidelines?
Cheers,
Martine
