(3mns) Synthesis / Summary
(30mns) Discussion
breakup by main topicsLiked - Existence of the program:
Energy it brings in the community, resulting from trust (given ownership) & being valued, giving confidence to contribute (+++)
Unblocked a lot of pending contributions by speeding up/helping with OSPR reviews (+++)
Ownership granted pushed to get the perspective of the project (“does this belong in the core”)
Deepened & established relationships (across organizations, including edX)
Learned:
Best value when organizational goals can be aligned with the pilot (+++)
Community knowledge of the project is strong, and can be trusted
Many deepened their knowledge of the Open edX project & of open source project management because of the CC/Champion duties
Communication with contributors on PRs can be hard (shown core committers the other side of OSPR reviews)
Lacked:
Time! Not enough allocated / prioritized by the participating organizations (+++++)
More time explicitly allocated by organizations to core committers (tickets in sprints, weekly quotas, etc.)
Leaderboard to provide clarity and organizational accountability (+ friendly competition
)
More streamlined process: (+++)
Better PR descriptions
Make it clearer for contributors and simpler overall
Avoid/speedup the blocking product review
Better ways to get questions answered & obtain approvals (when missing context or unsure about a decision)
Better onboarding of contributors:
Better material for new contributors/devs (course, docs)
More reliable devstack (broken devstack often a time-consuming blocker, also for core committers)
More reviewers on each repository (extend responsibilities of core committers, add new core committers)
Information about tasks & projects corresponding to the PRs (access to roadmap, Jira tickets)
Non-developer core committers?
