Any interest in a Rails Bugmash this Saturday

[Prakash Murthy]

Hey All, 

I had organized a Bugmash in Boulder a couple of Saturdays ago (on May 7th) - 10 of us worked for a few hours and fixed a few bugs. And 4-5 of us got our first commits into Rails code base! Do read more about it at http://blog.gnip.com/ruby-on-rails-bugmash/

Was talking about it with Prateek Dayal of SupportBee today; he was very interested in participating in one, and suggested organizing one in Bangalore this weekend. 

I am free this Saturday; so am thinking of organizing one this Saturday - probably from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Do let me know if you folks are interested in participating. 

Also, we need a place to host it; any company willing to accommodate a few geeks this Saturday?

We can host one at CastleRock, but I am personally beginning to feel
that, Rails contributor eco system is too crowded. There are lot of
other gems that can use some love.

Awesome! Lets go with meeting at CastleRock this Saturday simply because it is the first concrete response to my email. 

Good to have food & coffee arranged during the event. We can also take a leisurely lunch break at a nearby restaurant. 

Lets focus on either (a) working on Rails bugs or (b) Adding to Ruby 1.9.3 documentation. 

I added a plancast entry for this event; please RSVP at http://planca.st/Z49 

Thanks,

Prakash

That should be it. 10 of us are planning to be there tomorrow! http://planca.st/Z49  We should be able to do some good work, and have fun. 

The plan tomorrow is to start at 11:00am; spend some time initially reviewing the open issues list on rails repo, identify a few small-sized issues to work on, pair up and work on these issues the rest of the day. 

A couple of us will be working on the Ruby documentation challenge. 

For the bugmash, the following instructions provided a couple of weeks ago by Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) of the Rails Core team should be useful, in addition to the online documentation:

I'll try to outline the best things people can do.  People should not

feel required to finish all steps, and I tried to order the steps by

experience.  So, new people should be able to do at least the first

step, and experienced people should be able to do all of them.  But

even if the less experienced people to just one of the steps, it will

help the more experienced people out.

For tickets that have no patches attached:

1. If the person hasn't provided enough information to reproduce,

comment and ask for more info.

2. Try to reproduce the problem. Comment on the ticket with your

results, including detailed steps for repro.

3. Write a test to demonstrate the problem and attach that as a patch

4. Write a fix for the problem to go along with the test, attach that as a patch

5. If it seems like it should be fixed in 3-0-stable, try backporting

and attach the backport commit as well

For tickets that have a patch:

1. Check to see if the patch still applies cleanly.  Comment on the

ticket with whether or not the patch applies.

2. If the patch does not apply cleanly, treat the ticket as if it had

no patch (follow the above steps)

3. Make sure the patch has a test. If it has no test, either write

one, or comment that it needs a test

4. If the patch applies and has tests, try to run the rails tests.

Comment with the results of your test run.

For either type of ticket, if you make it through all the steps, just

assign the ticket to me and I'll apply the patches.  You should be

able to treat pull requests with a similar process. 

I hope that helps!

See you folks tomorrow!

Thanks,

Prakash

Hi Rishav,

Looks like I am going to miss a good hack day.

Participating remotely is definitely possible, and most welcome. 

The key benefit of a bugmash is people being available to help others in dealing with the various issues that come up while working on rails bugs. People working remotely can easily fit in provided we agree on a communication channel during the bugmash. 

I suggest we use #bugmashblr on irc.freenode.net to communicate during tomorrow's bugmash.

Also, please let me know if there are any other ways we can make it better for everyone. 

Thanks,

Prakash
