Hi, As I mentioned a while back, I'm declaring next week, 15 to 19 May 2017, the inaugural feedback fest for the 3.0 cycle.
The goal of the fest is to give feedback on each and every outstanding pull request. Feedback can take many forms, including: * rebasing older pull request branches against the current master * commenting on the bug and the proposed patches * deciding if the bug no longer applies or (as might be the case with some XUL interfaces) can be left alone * testing and signing off on the patches * writing automated test cases for pull requests that need them * writing human test plans * writing release notes entries While some or many of the pull requests will hopefully get signed off and merged during the fest, the primary goal is advancing each and every pull request by providing feedback. The wiki page https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:3.0:feedback_fest_1 lists the 57 open bugs that have the pullrequest tag but not the signoff tag as of this morning. That's... a manageable number. At this time I would like to ask each of the eleven active core committers to give feedback on at least one bug a day from this list next week. That by itself would take us nearly all the way... but of course, there are many more folks active in development work, and I ask you all to pitch in. I also encourage folks to participate loudly. What do I mean by that? Sometimes, it would be enough just to add comments in Launchpad, but sometimes a patch may have broader implications. If so, talk about it! #evergreen and open-ils-dev are available. At minimum, though, please make liberal use of Launchpad's bug assignment feature to indicate when you are working on a given bug. I'll be posting updates as the week progresses, and will not be shy about tagging people if I think they would be in a particularly good position to give feedback on a given bug.
