testing a new process for social media

2017-11-03 Thread Sriram Ramkrishna
Carlos Soriano was kind enough to create
http://gitab.gnome.org/GNOME/engagement, and so you can now create issues
for things like we want to advertise.  As a test, I have put in November
Bug Squash Month - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/engagement/issues/1.

This way we have some way to track the things that need to be done and
close them out easily when complete.

Cool. How does that work exactly? You seem to imply that we will keep
a single issue for the whole Bug Squash Month campaign. How do we e.g.
plan tweets that need to be sent out or track those that have been? An
issue in a bugtracker is supposed to be a single task and one closes
it when they’re done with it, which allows progress to be tracked.

Is there documentation/walkthrough as to how this process would work?
Especially for those of us who have never used gitlab before?  Otherwise
this seems like another technical barrier to entry for what should be a
relatively nontechnical task.

I'm still learning it myself.  So, my hope is that I can come up with a
solid process where people can put requests in and we can monitor the queue.

There is a TODO setup there, and hopefully that will help.  A process is
better than no process which is what we have right now.  If Gitlab doesn't
work for us then we will find something else that will.

Not yet, as I'm still familiarizing myself with gitlab.  It'll try to
document something this week and we can poke at it and see if it is the
right tool.  I'm hesitant to add new tools because it just adds more burden
to the sysadmin team.  But I think something to track it as a ticket I
think would be useful than none at all.

FWIW, FESCo and other Fedora teams often use Pagure projects to track 
issues. It might be worth seeing how some of those teams sort and 
organize tasks into issues.
