Hi all,
I have updated our meeting notes document to summarize the discussion from
our call on Thursday. Thank you all who joined the call.
To all those who attended, can you please double-check and add if I missed
anything?
To all those who didn't join, if you disagree to anything covered, please
voice your opinion.
Also, please let me know if you want to include anything in the call the
coming week.
Overall Summary
Key discussions points raised:
-
Experienced committers such as Jarek and Kaxil who have a broad
knowledge of Airflow look at all the issues raised in the stream of
incoming issues and then process prioritization as well as what they choose
to work on.
-
Committers focused on specific areas such as Kubernetes and User
Interface would generally like to look at the issue in their areas of
focus, so that they can quickly resolve those within their area of
expertise.
-
Filtering of issues, by the triage team (Elad, Paola, Vikram, et al),
would be helpful here in optimising committer time.
-
Elad commented how tagging issues with “GoodFirstIssue” has galvanized
contributions from new and inexperienced contributors, who are looking to
contribute.
-
Use of priority and milestones should be the committers only, not by the
triage team. These would be extremely useful in the context of release
planning to ensure that “critical” issues assigned to a release, must be
fixed as part of that release.
-
Automation of steps and transitions such as:
-
Waiting on a user for more information. Automatically close the issue
if there is no response within a specified time.
-
Re-assign or bring back to triage status if an assignee does not
respond within a specified time.
-
Triage team to continue assigning labels and streamlining issue streams,
based on updated set of labels, including additional labels to be added.
-
Request committers to add sizing for issue as part of the triage
process, so that contributors can pick up small issues to tackle, similar
to “GoodFirstIssue”.
