Question on JIRA's

I have created my first JIRA this morning.  A little confusion with the CREATE button but got that resolved.

Looking at the current set of Trafodion JIRA's I see that they are all unassigned.  I looked around a bit and could not figure out how to assign them.
Perusing the internet, it looks like there is an administrator that can assign JIRA's.
How should we be handling assigning Trafodion JIRAs?  Can I just assign a JIRA to myself without any special privilege?

And Pierre, great job in putting together the Trafodion wiki page.

INFRA just made me administrator. I made Alice, Steve, and Suresh
administrator's too (Dave, I cannot find an account for you in JIRA).

One of you might want to go through the admin page and do a few tweaks
adding home page, description, and logo. Would advise not messing with the
'flow' or doing other drastic change until you all have a better idea on
how it currently works.

Makes sense to me. We are already in that state where we have a bunch of contributors that are not committers, and we want to encourage more participation.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Andrew Purtell <ap...@apache.org>.
Thanks for the clarification, as you can see I was looking at the INFRA
wiki and not getting a clear sense of that.

In my experience on several projects, occasionally someone does reassign an
issue unexpectedly. I've seen newcomers do that accidentally. It prompts a
brief discussion on the JIRA and a correction. Even experienced committers
do it from time to time, but they typically catch the mistake and fix it
right away. I've not seen this abused in 7 years.

The best suggestion to 'speed along INFRA-9701' I can give is:

poke the right person with the right poker at the right place and time!

That will get someone coming into action. You could consider one of the
PPMCs, mentors, or INFRA.

On the other hand, these reappearing postings referencing INFRA-9701 should
be trigger enough...

we do speed along

Thanks

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@gmail.com>.
To be accurate, the 'Default plus Contributor Assign Permission Scheme' for
JIRA applicable to the project or podling allows any contributor (even
those without commit-privileges) to assign issues to themselves, but also
to others. However, it should be frowned upon if such happens. As this
would go against the aspect of common decency amongst volunteers in an open
source project. Of course a contributor can suggest and ask in a comment on
the issue who would be the most suitable contributor to address and further
the issue to resolvement and closure.

Though the technical setup of the scheme is very liberal, we can - of
course - limit how this podling and if anything goes well during incubation
upon graduation to TLP the project will apply such by incorporating it in
its bylaws.

to others.

Pardon, they might be able to reassign to themselves but not to others. I'm
not clear on which alternative is correct and have no way to test right
now.  Worst case, if someone accidentally or improperly assigns something
to themselves, someone with Committer role or better can fix it.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Andrew Purtell <ap...@apache.org>.
For our project we authorize the role "jira-users" as a contributor. See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization
for what the Contributors role allows. Anyone signed up with an account on
ASF JIRA can assign themselves unassigned issues, but they cannot reassign
issues to themselves which are already assigned to others.

> With this model an interested contributor could create a JIRA and assign
it to herself/himself if they feel it is appropriate.

Yes.

It also lets you do things like create a number of issues good for
beginners, perhaps identified with a label like "beginner". Then later an
interested beginner will be able assign such issues to themselves and get
going, presumably with guidance once committers notice the email from JIRA
that the issue was assigned.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Selva Govindarajan <se...@esgyn.com>.
Trafodion was using gerrit before it become a apache incubator project.
Does github have a mechanism to vote for a commit as +2, +1 or -1.like
gerrit had? If not, how should the reviewers communicate this to the
committers.

Pierre-

Thanks for the guidance. I know my group (we work on the installer) has worked from the commit then review type of way so it's good to know this information (since I would have continued to do it that way). Thanks again!

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Andrew Purtell <ap...@apache.org>.
+1, it's a good idea not to reassign a JIRA without consent of the current
assignee, or if the current assignee doesn't respond to an inquiry on the
JIRA after a reasonable amount of time. Helps prevent misunderstandings and
hurt feelings.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@gmail.com>.
Assigning a JIRA ticket to someone else than yourself should only be done
with the explicit consent of the (potential) assignee. Please remember that
communication is the glue that holds a project (or podling) together and
happy. Doing a lot of work and then seeing it rejected (or reverted)
without the buy-in from the community can lead to that. Every contributor
always needs to keep in mind that, when it comes to code changes, consensus
is required. A single -1 (from a contributor with binding privileges) can
have the whole work reverted.

Especially with improvements (biggies, as opposed to smaller ones like
inproving a comment) should always go through a RTC process (review then
commit) in stead of CTR (commit then review)  before stuff gets persisted
in code repositories.

RE: Question on JIRA's

Posted by "Birdsall, Dave" <da...@hp.com>.
I'm +1 at least for the set of privileges that Pierre mentions (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization). 

The question of whether anyone should be able to assign a JIRA (perhaps restricted to themselves?) seems at root to be a question of how much control and when that committers wish to exercise. If anyone can assign to themselves, then they might do a lot of work and then get rejected when it is time to commit. If folks have to wait for a committer to assign something to them, they might get feedback earlier. On the other hand it would be a bottleneck that would tend to stop work rather than encouraging it.

I'd like to hear more from Andrew about the specifics of how it is done in the HBase world.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Once the INFRA issue is sorted out the project administrator can grant
assignment perms to any JIRA user. Many projects operate like this. We're
doing this over on HBase now. +1 on assignment being a good contributor
motivator, I believe this. At least, I'll admit it would work on me. It
certainly doesn't hurt.

Re: Question on JIRA's

Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@gmail.com>.
Roberta, All,

Are you sure you want this project to have a methodology for 'assigning' to
other contributors? What I have learned over the years within a few Apache
projects is that when there is a restrictive scheme for the greatest group
of contributors (those without privileges) involvement is of the lowest
kind possible. Non-privileged contributors just register issues (or don't
at all), because they don't feel ownership as they only have limited means
to influence those with privileges.
Nothing hampers community growth more than restrictions on contributor
permissions. And within each Apache project there are already a multitude
of permissions schemes to consider and work with (from a managerial point
of view), as the underlying tools don't use an integrated Authentication &
Authorisation solution (e.g. JIRA vs Confluence).

A solution to this predicament regarding JIRA issues could be the
following: in stead of opting where only contributors with privileges
(committers) have the permission to do issue assignment, let us opt for the
'Default plus Contributor Assign Permission Scheme' as described in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization
.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits

Thanks Alice.  I knew this was needed to move over Lauchpad but missed the assigning of JIRA bugs.

Hello Roberta,

We are blocked due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-9701 .  Our project was created but no administrator has been assigned nor has our old LP bugs been imported yet.

I have created my first JIRA this morning.  A little confusion with the CREATE button but got that resolved.

Looking at the current set of Trafodion JIRA's I see that they are all unassigned.  I looked around a bit and could not figure out how to assign them.
Perusing the internet, it looks like there is an administrator that can assign JIRA's.
How should we be handling assigning Trafodion JIRAs?  Can I just assign a JIRA to myself without any special privilege?

And Pierre, great job in putting together the Trafodion wiki page.
