0️⃣ Who is here today? Comment in the thread to introduce yourself. We’ll keep the meeting open for 24 hours to allow for all timezones.
| Griffyn Heels | :wave: Hola, Griff, Aus |
| larowlan | hey |
| ambermatz | Hello |
| jibran | What is "here"? In the grand scheme of thing does "here" matter? I'm here but am I "here"? Or "here" is just a construct of our imagination to let us believe that we are present "here" in this moment right now. |
| urvashi_vora | Hello :wave: |
| lendude | Morning |
| quietone | Hi |
| Sourabh Jain | Hello |
| catch | :wave: |
| dww | Derek :wave: Feliz Carnaval / Happy Mardi Gras :tada: :drum: |
0️⃣.5️⃣ If you could wave a magic wand and have one thing added-to or fixed in drupal what would it be?
| Griffyn Heels | One that comes up a lot for my clients is being able to duplicate layout builder pages/configurations. So probably that. |
| larowlan | For me it would be time to finish Field Union (aka fieldable fields) |
| jibran | Get rid of core/lib folder in favor of core/src folder. :smile: |
| jibran | Allowing core ER field to support multiple entity types so that i don't have to maintain DER anymore :stuck_out_tongue: |
| quietone | #3319843: [Meta] Fix coding standards in core |
| dww | This is such an impossible question :joy: I don't even know where to begin... |
1️⃣ Do you have suggested topics you are looking to discuss? Post in this thread and we’ll open threads for them as appropriate.
| Griffyn Heels | How do we feel ‘The One’ idea is going? |
2️⃣.1️⃣ Wins - what wins have you had since the last meeting? Share your successes!
| dww | We smashed a major in 6.5 hours: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C014QES6HSQ/p1706828395783309?thread_t... |
2️⃣.4️⃣ Approve last fortnight’s minutes
| Griffyn Heels | We’ve got a few to close:#3408347: Meeting of the Bug Smash Initiative 2024-01-09(edited) |
| ambermatz | For credit, are we crediting anyone who says “they are here” or just those who participate in a discussion? |
| Griffyn Heels | The user needs to have participated in a thread other than the hello thread. |
| Griffyn Heels | Did I miss any credits? |
| ambermatz | Makes sense. I don't think so, but I had just started to check and wanted to be sure of the policy. (I'm dusting off my bugsmash help skillz. :slightly_smiling_face: |
| ambermatz | Ok, I closed all of those, and added credit to @Griffyn Heels on 2 because creating these meeting issues is a task in and of itself. Thanks all! |
| Griffyn Heels | Cheers mate :clap: |
4️⃣ Update on the one :o:
| larowlan | Status is needs work after a new review |
6️⃣ PMNMI issues that we can close this fortnight
| larowlan | Would be good to have a table working on just this at the DrupalSouth code sprint, should be able to clean up a chunk of issues |
| quietone | Good idea! |
7️⃣ @Griffyn Heels “How do we feel ‘The One’ idea is going?”
| Griffyn Heels | It seems to be getting some traction in threads, but is it doing what we were aiming? |
| Griffyn Heels | Started from this thread: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C014QES6HSQ/p1699934660328839 |
| larowlan | The problem is this one is a hard one |
| larowlan | we're making progress each week, but this is a really old issue |
| Griffyn Heels | Is it worth staying with a hard one or moving on? |
| larowlan | Good question |
| Griffyn Heels | On one hand, it’ll likely just sit there, but it limits ‘The One’ to senior Drupal contributors |
| larowlan | Sorry, should clarify, its not hard technically, its hard because of the age and the number of comments/reviews |
| larowlan | And to be honest its not a but, its a feature request |
| larowlan | And that could even be our resolution here but it just lobs it over the fence |
| ambermatz | IMG_0185 |
| lendude | And it’s a feature that has a contrib module :shrug:I like the idea of the one, but not very motivated to work on this oneBut I think the nature of picking the oldest issue will always lead to hard issues one way or another, if they were easy and worth doing, they would be in by now |
| quietone | I didn't realize there was a contrib module. Still, to me, this seems like something core should be doing. |
| catch | I think it's fine to move it to a feature request especially after significantly moving it on. |
| catch | If we don't want to move it to a feature request, should we consider making 'the one', 'the two'? |
| catch | That would bring in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/92944, based on https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?project_issue_follow...…]xt=&assigned=&submitted=&issue_tags=&&&order=created&sort=asc |
| larowlan | Based on the conversation here it feels like there's broad support for making it a feature request, I'll do that today and record the participants here |
| dww | Yeah, a feature request is more accurate. It'd still be great to finally fix/add it! It'd be a pity if we got this close and then lost momentum by recategorizing it... |
