Zoom chat:
00:07:06 Itamar Holder (iholder101): DevConf?
00:07:09 ehaas: DevConf is not yet open?
00:07:10 Vladik Romanovsky: @aburden I'd like to have some time to chat about kubebuilder validations today
00:07:32 Igor Bezukh: ContainerDays Hamburg 2026 is also open for CfP
00:07:48 Vladik Romanovsky: also, VEP76 needs immediate attention - reviews
00:09:09 aburden: https://github.com/kubevirt/community/blob/main/ai-contribution-policy.md
00:09:28 Jed Lejosne: Please make sure you review the policy if you're going to use AI to help write PRs
00:12:27 Alan Caldelas: I think its a good idea
00:12:39 fossedihelm: I usually try to follow: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary
00:14:10 aburden: We can also add it to the new contributor guide (docs)
00:14:58 Igor Bezukh: +1 for propose and agree on a policy
00:17:35 Roni Kishner: Replying to "We can also add it..."
Can you link it so I may take a look?
00:18:19 aburden: Replying to "We can also add it t..."
https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/contributing/
00:18:38 Itamar Holder (iholder101): @Roni Kishner if we continue this on the mailing list, I'd appreciate if you can come up with a few quick bullets to frame the discussion. For example:
Do not exceed 80 characters in one line.
Always start with "feat/bug/..."
00:18:46 Itamar Holder (iholder101): These may be silly examples, but you get the idea :)
00:19:23 aburden: Replying to "We can also add it t..."
It would probably live in the kubevirt reviewer docs, and we could link to that in the docs
00:21:18 xpivarc: It is not must but that is a place where we can go deeper :)
00:32:18 Jed Lejosne: Either works for me
00:32:22 Igor Bezukh: +1 For Wednesday
00:32:27 Orel: Wedensday
