Thread: Commitfest Code Sprint with PUGs
All, Gabrielle of PDXPUG volunteered that PUG to hold a "code sprint" in coordination with a commitfest sometime soon. For that event, the PDXPUG members would take on a dozen or so patches, compile and review them and submit the results. The reason I mention this here is that they would need to "reserve" several patches we felt were suitable for beginners for the event. This would require reviewers to hold off on those patches until after the code sprint to make sure that the PUG would have a good event and contribute usefully. For this reason, the PUG event would need to be at the beginning of the CF. Obviously PDXPUG won't be ready for July 15th. But could we plan this for the Sept. 15th CF? Also, do any other PUGs want to do this? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

You also mentioned having someone In the Know (tm) available on IRC in case we have problems - I would like that if it's possible. > Obviously PDXPUG won't be ready for July 15th.

I poked around the wiki but am unclear on the timeline - would we have to be finished by Sept 15 or start on Sept 15? > Also, do any other PUGs want to do this? I'll add whatever we learn to the wiki in the interest of encouraging others. gabrielle
So if the general commitfest begins on Sept 1, I recommend that we hold our sprint the weekend following (saturday 5, say 10am to 4pm Pacific Standard?). Thoughts? If we set a date, then people can converge on it. Pardon me if I am replying without enough context -- I have enough compelling time sinks in my life without the various PostgreSQL lists these days. Gabrielle -- have you started a wiki page/ topic somewhere? w
Webb, Selena, Gabrielle, September 15th is coming up soon. Will PDXPUG be interested in doing a CommitFest Sprint? When can you do it? Let me know, because we'll want to have the sprinters claim patches early. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com
Hi Josh et al, I believe we are all still interested (Selena? Gabrielle?) How about this: 6:00 Tuesday evening (Pacific), the three of us (and anybody else) agree to be around a table with laptops on, cellphones ready, listening at an IRC channel. Could you assign us good patches before then (like 10)? And then we commit, commit, commit. I think we should think of this as a dry run where we iron out the details, and then maybe the following saturday do it again on a larger scale? -W On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 10:23 AM, Josh Berkus<josh@agliodbs.com> wrote: > Webb, Selena, Gabrielle, > > September 15th is coming up soon.

The CommitFest is scheduled to start 9/15, so doing this on 9/8 might be a bit too soon. I wouldn't object to doing it a few days before the start of the CommitFest to flush out any patches with obvious problems, but I think a week ahead of time is too much. Also, I don't think anything is going to committed as a result of this - the goal is to post reviewers to pgsql-hackers. ...Robert

Sounds good, already have at least someone else from #pdxpug interested too. :) Just need to pick a location. Anybody have a quiet house? >> I think we should think of this as a dry run where we iron out the >> details, and then maybe the following saturday do it again on a larger >> scale? Practice run was my expectation as well. Making both dates might be problematic for some people (:ahem: me) but we should have enough attendee overlap to deal with that. gabrielle

I can probably finagle a room here at PSU, though I would love it if someone would volunteer a house. >>> I think we should think of this as a dry run where we iron out the >>> details, and then maybe the following saturday do it again on a larger >>> scale? > > Practice run was my expectation as well.

OK, let's play followups by ear, but consider Tues Sept 15 as the date?

I don't necessarily try to assign people back to the same patches - I think sometimes a fresh pair of eyes is useful. But I'm not dead set on changing it up, either. ...Robert
