OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Hello all,
We are back with OFBiz Community Days, hope you are excited too! :-)
The community days are organized once per quarter so a total of four (4)
events throughout the year.
We are having a sequence of 5 days that form the Community Days. This
extends the time frame and gives people more flexibility to contribute.
So, this month our Community Days will be from *22nd – 26th May 2020*.
If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look at
the following wiki pages:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+Dates
This is such an event where anyone can participate (and we would like to
encourage as many people as possible to do so)
If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on
then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to do
it. (Even an hour will help!)
Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are
also a chance to collaborate with others in the community.
Our Community Days are not only coding related, but we would also like to
do some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation.
*Testing, Review and Committing Patches*
Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributors
from the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but
before committing them we need to test to them.
Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not
tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a
large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for
test, review and commit.
*Documentation*
We know that our current documentation could be a whole lot better so any
contribution that helps us improve it is welcome.
*Jira Sprint*
I will create a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (May 2020)" so please add
any Jira tasks when you are working on it.
This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the
Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the sprint field.
We should add the Sprint in all the cases:
1.) If we create a ticket we should add it.
2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it
after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.
Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from 22nd – 26th May.
At the end of May's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 26th May, this will help
us in reporting.
*OFBiz Slack Channel*
If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available
all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our
Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below:
https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel
To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack
account using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite> and join
the *#ofbiz channel*. <https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel> Please do
*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.
Let's all collaborate to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Posted by Devanshu Vyas <vy...@gmail.com>.
Hello all,
A big thank so much to everyone who participated in the OFBiz
community day. Every
contribution matters!
We'd also like anyone who participated to complete a brief survey. This
will help us gather some feedback and information about how we can improve
future Community Days.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: Please only complete the survey if you
actually participated in Community Day.
Please feel this short survey, (There are only 9 questions so it really
won't take much time)
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KP7GBBT
The survey will be open until *June 15th, 2020.* and I will document the
results on the Wiki and publish it on the mailing list.
P.S. We have closed the "OFBiz Community Day (May 2020)" Jira sprint.
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Posted by Carsten Schinzer <c....@gmail.com>.
Hello,
I would like to contribute, yet alignment is a bit difficult w/o access to
slack.
The link here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days to
join slack appears to be outdated as the slack setup seems to have changed
from https://s.apache.org/ to https://the-asf.slack.com/.
Can anyone help here?
Best would be the change of the link on Community Days page I guess :)
Thanks & warm regards
Carsten

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Posted by Devanshu Vyas <vy...@gmail.com>.
Hello all,
We have created a Jira sprint *OFBiz Community Day (May 2020)* [1] for our
May community days.
Please add any Jira tasks you are working on, to it. This Jira Sprint helps
us track and report on the work done during the Community Days so please
try to make sure your work is included.
We should add the Sprint in cases like:
1. When we create a ticket
2. When we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing
it after a commit).
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the Sprint field.
For a new issue, please select the Sprint field at the time of Jira ticket
creation.
Basically adding Sprint will make sure your contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from *22nd-26th May*.
Let's work together to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.

Devanshu Vyas.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020

Thanks, Jacques, Pierre for your thoughts.
In the last OFBiz community days, we shared information regarding the
theme/focus of the days which was working on to converting mini-lang(XML)
services to groovy.
I think moving ahead to this community day, we could also ask and share the
ideas on this. And both your ideas are good and we can definitely work on
them.
I will be initiating the same thought on the same email thread "Theme for
upcoming OFBiz community days?" over the dev list.
Sharing thoughts to determine the focus of the OFBiz community day for the
participants is a good idea. We can move at our own pace for doing tasks,
and like Taher said, not do anything hasty. :)
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

Taher,
Well... Every member of this community can determine for him /or herself
where his/her contribution benefits the project best. So, looking forward
to your contributions during the Community Days. Wherever they may appear.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <ta...@pythys.com.INVALID>.
The health of the project from my perspective is not necessarily in how many patches / pull requests are approved. In fact, there is nothing easier than simply going through all patches and applying them one by one. For me quality wins over quantity and 10 clean lines of code are better than 100 hasty ones. There is in fact a term for hasty and low quality code. It's called technical debt.
One place where cleanup is needed in fact are the tickets themselves. Perhaps in the community days we can focus on that part. Some of tickets are better off closed instead of keeping them as dead weight.

Not only does it shorten the list of open tickets (currently more than
1500), but it also sends a strong signal to (adopters) and contributors:
that the community works as fast as possible to get the (valuable)
contributions of members implemented.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020
Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@apache.org>.
While I agree that improving the content in the wiki is important and
should be a theme of upcoming OFBiz Community Days, collaborating to get as
much patches (currently more than 300 tickets listed, see [1]) as possible
reviewed and/or implemented into the code base is equally important.
Not only does it shorten the list of open tickets (currently more than
1500), but it also sends a strong signal to (adopters) and contributors:
that the community works as fast as possible to get the (valuable)
contributions of members implemented.

Hi Carsten,
I copy your answer to the user ML, as I guess you expected to send there.

Re: OFBiz Community Days – May 2020

Thanks Devanshu,
After our move to Git we have finally cleaned our site from information referring to Svn, and that's good.
But there is still much such info in the wiki and it can be confusing.
I suggest that we concentrate much of our efforts during this Community Day to clean the wiki.
We can adapt to Git and keep in wiki when needed, or move in Attic under a specific "Subversion" page when really too deprecated.
I know, for most of us, it's not as easy as coding with Git and GitHub. But Confluence now also easily allows to share tasks and merge when needed.
We should not hesitate to prune much, nothing worse than obsolete and confusing documentation
I hope everyone will help, it's really long due :)
Thanks
Jacques
