1️⃣ Do you have suggested topics you are looking to discuss? Post in this thread and we’ll open threads for them as appropriate.
| larowlan | #3199891: New block to highlight stale issues |
| dww | Refresh interest / availability in bugsmash triage sessions? |
| dww | We probably also need a thread about bugsmash @ DrupalCon — there’s a video interview, there’s coordinating triage & other work during the bugsmash day, etc |
2️⃣.1️⃣ Wins - what wins have you had since the last meeting in February ? Share your successes! (edited)
| larowlan | at the weekend we got the RTBC bugs queue under 10 items |
| dww | Not strictly bugsmash, but I’m super psyched that we finally landed #3032390: Add an event to sanitize filenames during upload |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | Had a few small bugs get committed so that felt good :) |
| mohit.aghera | Committed: #3187004: DrupalDateTime serialization issue (edited) |
| larowlan | @mohit.aghera when the meeting is over, please repost them in the main channel with the :recycle: prefix :+1: |
2️⃣.2️⃣ Thanks - a space for callouts to other contributors who’ve helped you
| dww | Thanks @quietone for keeping so many bug fixes moving forward, for being so kind and gracious in the face of pedantic nitpick reviews (Eg most of mine), and for generally being such a wonderful collaborator and contributor. |
| jibran | Thanks to @quietone and @Kristen Pol (she/her) for triage efforts. |
| jibran | @lendude and @larowlan were around to. (edited) |
| larowlan | to @jibran for starting a couple of triage threads, that was great |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | Thanks to @quietone, @dww, and @jibran for help and to @larowlan for commits :) |
| mohit.aghera | Thanks to @larowlan for reviewing issues and doing RTBC. |
| larowlan | seeming your name quite a lot mohit, thanks for all the work |
| quietone | @jibran for running the triage sessions and reviews |
2️⃣.3️⃣ Blockers - what’s getting in the way of your issues / goals
| larowlan | a new puppy |
| jibran | Awww, new_puppy++ |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | My tendency to look for new issues rather than follow up on my old ones :/ |
| quietone | @Kristen Pol (she/her), I do that too! |
| pameeela | i feel like i got most of the low hanging fruit last year. so it’s slow going trying to pick it back up again. i’m sure there is still plenty, but i haven’t found it again this year! |
| quietone | Yes, feels like I have to stand on my tippy toes to reach the low hanging fruit. |
| lendude | If I look at the Views queue and reverse order it on last update timestamp, there is still a whole lot of fruit. I’m aware that not everybody will want to mess with Views, but I think the same can be done for any component in the queue. Pick a component you are comfortable with, filter on open bugs, reverse order it on last update and go from the top |
| quietone | Yes, that is solid advice. It is also what I have done but living in a migrate silo like I do there isn't much I am not comfortable with. However, I have avoided views and there are probably ones there I can at least test. Thanks for the reminder |
3️⃣ Core bug statistics - current state of open bugs
| larowlan | 34 bugs smashed this fornight |
| larowlan | 45 new bugs opened |
| larowlan | 8 issues moved to support request |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | Anyone tracking average age? Curious if it's been going down |
| quietone | Me too |
| lendude | I’ll try to update https://lendude.gitlab.io/bug-smash-initiative/ this week |
4️⃣ Nominate your pet issue for a bug-smash target for the next fortnight
| jibran | #2981047: Allow adding computed bundle fields in Views#comment-14010637 |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | 14 y.o. issue that @quietone and @jungle made recent progress on https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/84883 |
| larowlan | One that continues to bite on real world projects #1852090: Cached render elements can have duplicate HTML IDs |
| larowlan | Turns out it causes all sorts of issues, not just accessibility |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | I've definitely run into this issue before |
5️⃣ Help me - Is there anything you could use a :hand:
| jibran | @lendude please have a look at #2981047: Allow adding computed bundle fields in Views#comment-14010637. (edited) |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | I still have a few in the main channel if you scroll back over the last week |
6️⃣ "Reminder about security issues" @jibran (edited)
| jibran | Please review my issue Lee :stuck_out_tongue: |
| larowlan | which one sorry? |
| pameeela | the bug smash meeting is not a forum for pestering core committers to review your issues :stuck_out_tongue: |
| jibran | @pameeela it is a bug so it qualifies:D |
7️⃣ New d.o. block to highlight stale issues @larowlan
| jibran | #3199891: New block to highlight stale issues |
| larowlan | wondering if people think this is a good idea and if so, please chime in with thoughts on the issue. Idea is to push triage back onto people who filed and long-since forgot an issue |
| larowlan | Not just bugs, but will count bugs |
| pameeela | love this idea! |
| dww | Guilty! I’ve had quite a few 14+-years-ago dww issues re-appear on my radar in recent weeks. :wink: |
| larowlan | its a pity spring has started in the Northern Hemisphere because we could badge it as 'Spring cleaning' of the issue queue |
8️⃣ Refresh interest / availability in bugsmash triage sessions? @dww
| dww | I believe we have a weekly triage “meeting” at alternate times. Life keeps getting in the way of my participation. But I’d love to hear how they’re going. Can we do anything else to help promote them? Should we add other times? |
| larowlan | These have been held on an adhoc basis initiated by Jibran, I think that's been great |
| jibran | Last week we had one on Tuesday as scheduled and then Wednesday and Thu was adhoc. |
| jibran | We have one on Friday Morning! |
| dww | Y’all do them as Slack chat? Do you do audio / video call, too? |
| jibran | Threads mostly. |
| dww | Anything to know about how they’re running? |
| dww | Just announce in the channel “hey, I’m gonna triage, anyone around interested? |
| jibran | Here is the tread https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C014QES6HSQ/p1614043805006600 |
| jibran | Here is another one https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C014QES6HSQ/p1614134164024800 |
| jibran | And it went on till Friday with new threads. |
| jibran | We also involved #ux team as well :wink: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C1AFW2ZPD/p1614154712007200 |
9️⃣ DrupalCon is coming up what is in store for #bugsmash @dww
| jibran | there’s a video interview, there’s coordinating triage & other work during the bugsmash day, etc |
| larowlan | Please nominate yourself here https://doodle.com/poll/32awp3v7d8recb4c if you're interested/available to take part in a small interview about the initiative to promote Drupalcon |
| larowlan | And let us know if you're interested in mentoring during contribution days (remotely, via slack) |
| dww | Do I understand that a specific day is focused on bugsmash? If so, do we know which date?Or is the idea to have folks around to mentor throughout the whole event? |
| larowlan | @rachel_norfolk @hestenet (he/him) ^ |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | I can probably help during the event, depending on the time of day |
| dww | I can probably also help, depending on the day. Like Kristen, I’m probably more timezone friendly for this Con than many of the bugsmash regulars... |
| hestenet (he/him) | AutoUpdates and BugSmash are sharing a day - and I believe it will be Wednesday... |
| dww | So 2021-04-14? Fun, the day before US Tax Day! :wink: |
| hestenet (he/him) | Oh ha! |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | All the more reason to do a tax extension |
