Flavio, Some months back I looked at a slide that Thierry showed at a meeting; it showed contributor statistics and it showed that there were a large number of contributors who made exactly 1 commit which sometimes got merged, but there was a huge drop off from 1 commit to 2 commits!
So I got to thinking about what could cause that and how one could get to the second commit (once you're hooked, you are hooked!). To that end, I tried to give priority to first time committers; if I saw a commit that said "New Contributor", I try to not only thank them for it, but also be much more responsive. I hope that helped at least one contributor go from 1st commit to 2nd commit. Other than that, working (with Dims) trying to take up a number of initiatives that bring new contributors to OpenStack including - speaking to university students (a project I proposed a while back called OpenStack in the classroom[1]) - making presentations at Summit(s) meetups, and any other place which will have us to tell people about OpenStack[2]. - participate (as a mentor) in the OpenStack mentorship program, the Women of OpenStack program, and a myriad of other non-OpenStack community development programs Shameless plug for Dims & my presentation at Summit in Sydney about contributing to OpenStack [2]. Thanks for the question! -amrith [1] http://openstack.markmail.org/thread/qadfotwkoj6alivj [2] https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/summit-schedule/events/19116/getting-started-with-contributing-to-openstack-dos-and-donts On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 8:45 AM, Flavio Percoco <fla...@redhat.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > Some of you, TC candidates, expressed concerns about diversity and > inclusiveness > (or inclusivity, depending on your taste) in your candidacy.
