Upcoming Schedule

Previous Action Items

Discussion Items

  • Focus tranzition - next steps?
    • uplifts out of control?
  • Good First Verify Proposal concerns
    • context: Bug Verification Day contributors were complaining about mostly finding difficult bugs in the queries. They were wasting a lot of time just trying to understand and ask for help. eventually giving up. We wanted to find a way to provide them with a list of bugs anyone can verify, so this doesn't happen again. -- the proposal as I have written it does not necessarily solve this problem, I wrote it more in mind of new people coming in and less about people already involved -- it could use some tweaking to address this stakeholder
    • [good first verify] might confuse some of the contributors, as most of those looking for such bugs know how to verify them and are just looking for accessible bugs. A simple re-wording could solve this.
    • returning contributors probably don't need a mentor -- time spent finding mentors could be wasted in this case -- Perhaps it would be better to have one person assigned as a bug verification mentor (still need at least one mentor to mitigate the risk of people actually in need of mentorship not getting it).
