The maintainers of the OpenSearch-build Repo seek to promote an inclusive and engaged community of contributors. In order to facilitate this, bi-weekly triage meetings are open-to-all and attendance is encouraged for anyone who hopes to contribute, discuss an issue, or learn more about the project. To learn more about contributing to the OpenSearch-build Repo visit the Contributing documentation.
Attendance is not required for your issue to be triaged or addressed. All new issues are triaged bi-weekly.
Each meeting we seek to address all new issues. However, should we run out of time before your issue is discussed, you are always welcome to attend the next meeting or to follow up on the issue post itself.
Meetings are hosted regularly at 9 AM Pacific Time and can be joined via the links posted on the OpenSearch Meetup Group list of events. The event will be titled Engineering Effectiveness Triage Meeting.
After joining the Zoom meeting, you can enable your video / voice to join the discussion. If you do not have a webcam or microphone available, you can still join in via the text chat.
If you have an issue you'd like to bring forth please consider getting a link to the issue so it can be presented to everyone in the meeting.
Meetings are 45 minutes and structured as follows:
- Initial Gathering: As we gather, feel free to turn on video and engage in informal and open-to-all conversation. After a bit a volunteer will share their screen and proceed with the agenda.
- Announcements: If there are any announcements to be made they will happen at the start of the meeting.
- Review of New Issues: The meetings always start with reviewing all untriaged issues for below repositories:
- Member Requests: Opportunity for any meeting member to ask for consideration of an issue or pull request.
- Untriaged Items: Review any issues that might have had the 'untriaged' label removed but require additional triage discussion.
- Open Discussion: Allow for members of the meeting to surface any topics without issues filed or pull request created.
There is no specific ordering within each category.
If you have an issue you would like to discuss but do not have the ability to attend the entire meeting, please attend when is best for you and signal that you have an issue to discuss when you arrive.
No, all are welcome and encouraged to attend. Attending the Backlog & Triage meetings is a great way for a new contributor to learn about the project as well as explore different avenues of contribution.
You can always open an issue including one that you think may be a duplicate. However, in cases where you believe there is an important distinction to be made between an existing issue and your newly created one, you are encouraged to attend the triaging meeting to explain.
If you have an existing issue you would like to discuss, you can always comment on the issue itself. Alternatively, you are welcome to come to the triage meeting to discuss.
Yes, there are several labels that are used to identify the 'state' of issues filed.
| Label | When applied | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Untriaged | When issues are created or re-opened. | Issues labeled as 'Untriaged' require the attention of the repository maintainers and may need to be prioritized for quicker resolution. |
| Help Wanted | Anytime. | Issues marked as 'Help Wanted' signal that they are actionable and not the current focus of the project maintainers. Community contributions are especially encouraged for these issues. |
| Good First Issue | Anytime. | Issues labeled as 'Good First Issue' are small in scope and can be resolved with a single pull request. These are recommended starting points for newcomers looking to make their first contributions. |
You can always file an issue for any question you have about the project. Alternatively, you can use opensearch slack channels such as #infra #devops for any related queries.
