| rmstar | is this where a new contributor can get help? :) | 12:46 |
| ildikov | rmstar: it's one of the places :) | 12:49 |
| ildikov | rmstar: what do you need help with? | 12:49 |
| rmstar | ildikov: i would like to start off by contributing to documentation. I started looking into launchpad, but have some questions how things work. Can I sign up for a mentor or something? :) | 12:53 |
| ildikov | rmstar: the people who are most knowledgable about documentation are on the #openstack-doc channel | 12:56 |
| ildikov | rmstar: most of the documentation is handled by the project teams in case you would like to contribute content relevant to any of the OpenStack services | 12:56 |
| rmstar | ildikov: I am thinking of working with bugs first. But do i need to notify anyone before contributing? | 12:58 |
| spotz | rmstar: Not at all | 12:58 |
| ildikov | rmstar: the base tool is Sphinx and you will see a collection of .rst files, this page is one of the examples on restructured text cheat sheet: https://thomas-cokelaer.info/tutorials/sphinx/rest_syntax.html | 12:59 |
| ildikov | rmstar: if you found a bug on Launchpad you would like to look into you need to assign it to yourself and that should be enough notification to people that you are working on it | 13:00 |
| ildikov | rmstar: you can also leave comments on the bug as you progress | 13:00 |
| rmstar | ildikov spotz: thanks :) | 13:05 |
| rmstar | ildikov: i guess my confusion is more about launchpad. ie. which branch is the fix supposed to go? which repository? etc. | 13:06 |
| ildikov | rmstar: can you link in the bug? | 13:08 |
| spotz | ^ | 13:09 |
| rmstar | ildikov: as an example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1680695 | 13:11 |
| openstack | Launchpad bug 1680695 in openstack-manuals "Missing HA Guide Content: Testing" [Low,Confirmed] | 13:11 |
| rmstar | wow. that was unexpected lol | 13:12 |
| spotz | rmstar: Not to us:) | 13:12 |
| rmstar | spotz: lol. it's pretty cool. :) | 13:12 |
| spotz | So that branch is Pike so depending it might be needed in master and then backported or if not needed in newer releases it could just be done as a backport. There's also the question of whether Pike is on extended maintenance or not... | 13:13 |
| ildikov | I can't see the HA guide in the latest set of docs | 13:15 |
| ildikov | not sure if we're still maintaining it | 13:15 |
| rmstar | ildikov: this was what i was trying to find too. | 13:15 |
| spotz | It may be the doc aspiers is working on:) | 13:15 |
| rmstar | spotz: i am not sure how to checkout Pike. I did git branch -r but did not see Pike in there. | 13:15 |
| spotz | In which case its now in the ops docs SIG area | 13:16 |
| rmstar | spotz: ok. i have to read up about SIG. Not entirely sure what that is :) | 13:16 |
| spotz | rmstar git checkout -b pike should work but I think that doc might have moved.... | 13:17 |
| ildikov | rmstar: I would check with the docs team that what's up with that document | 13:17 |
| spotz | rmstar the channel to ask is openstack-operations | 13:17 |
| ildikov | and what spotz says :) | 13:18 |
| spotz | I just asked, I'm not sure who's awake though cause I'm not used to being on European time:) | 13:18 |
| ildikov | rmstar: is this bug specific to what you're doing and you would benefit from the docs update even if it's covering an older OpenStack release? | 13:19 |
| rmstar | ildikov, spotz: alright. thanks guys. I think i just picked a confusing bug to work with. I will try the same with a different bug and see if i can figure it out. :) | 13:19 |
| ildikov | spotz: I'm in China right now... :) | 13:19 |
| rmstar | ildikov: no. I was just picking a bug at random to try to understand what to do. | 13:19 |
| ildikov | rmstar: in that case if you can double check with people if the bug is still valid and close in case not that's a big help to the community in cleaning up the bug backlog | 13:20 |
| rmstar | it's so cool to work with people around the world. :) | 13:20 |
| ildikov | people in the openstack-doc channel might be able to advise on help needed areas | 13:20 |
| spotz | :) Though I'm usually in CST and ildikov is usually in CEST:) | 13:20 |
| rmstar | alright guys. thank you very much. i will check with the guys in openstack-doc then. :) | 13:21 |
| ildikov | lol, yes, we are moving around to keep looking like we don't sleep :) | 13:21 |
| rmstar | lol | 13:22 |
| spotz | ok smccginnis says that is the one aspiers is working on so it's in a different location or will be once finished:) | 13:22 |
| ildikov | the bug could still be closed with a note that work is ongoing in aspiers's group | 13:23 |
| spotz | true that | 13:23 |
| rmstar | ildikov: so i can close it? | 13:23 |
| spotz | Yeah and say its being worked on by the OPS docs SIG | 13:25 |
| rmstar | spotz: alright. thanks. My first bug. lol | 13:25 |
| ildikov | rmstar: I would ping aspiers in the #openstack-doc channel and sync up with him and then close the bug with a comment on your learnings of what's going on | 13:25 |
| rmstar | ildikov: ok. | 13:25 |
| ildikov | he may also have some bits for you to work on at the end :) | 13:26 |
| rmstar | what timezone is he in? | 13:26 |
| spotz | CEST and he's in channel so ping and if he's about he'll answer:) | 13:26 |
| spotz | Atleast usually he is:) | 13:26 |
| rmstar | spotz: cool. thanks :) | 13:26 |
| spotz | rmstar: No prob:) | 13:27 |
| spotz | I wonder if it's sad we know who's working on things in different projects on sight...... | 13:31 |
| rmstar | spotz: actually, it means you are valuable :) | 13:32 |
| spotz | Awww | 13:32 |
| ildikov | :) | 13:33 |
| rmstar | when i become more involved, i'd like to know who's working on what too. :) | 13:34 |
| ildikov | it's impossible to follow everything that's going on around here, but it's indeed nice to know a handful of people to reach out to | 13:40 |
| ianychoi | rmstar, would you kindly help to document how to contribute documentation? | 15:54 |
