A

Hello, this is the Jenkins documentation special interest group, we're going to start with our agenda right away.

A

Today, we've got a items, then a report on two different docks initiatives that have happened to contributor guidelines revamp and the plug in site integration with github. We will then talk briefly about Oktoberfest and go over the latest data on contributions. What the data is telling us and what we should learn from it. What actions we need to take the end will have captured action items and recorded the results in terms of previous action items. I still have the open poll request to provide project ideas into the Jenkins at I/o site in the interim.

Oleg has done a great job of creating two epics that we're using to track track. Those contribute those website improvements as the contributor guidelines revamp and the plugins site integration with github a dog's doc. Cig summary is due to the community at large, as part of our government's I'll. Send that today, along with the meeting notes and I've added an additional action, I would be sure that we capture our pull request summary at the end of October, so that we can show what hacked over fest is done.

A

The contributor guidelines revamp is actually being worked by several different people. It's exciting to watch. What you'll see here is that Sachi Mukherjee, or of Asha beer and Chris carpenter, and have been working edition end Yulin, Bastille Ababa have been working on different improvements to the participate page as part of Oktoberfest thanks very much to them. That's a wonderful, wonderful addition: the new page is looking much better and now is including is pending. Inclusion of additional information on testing the plugins site. Integration with github is going even better than that.

A

There are lots of steps of positive improvement there as many different sites. Many different plug-in pages are now adding their documentation into the plugins site automatically through the readme it's an eat. This is an easy activity for those who are wanting to contribute through October fest and will continue. We now have additional work, proceeding in using these same kinds of techniques in other places, special thanks to to the dear special thanks to the team at how awkward.

A

Special thanks to cloudBees we've had a great contribution of this of a site that provides automated conversion, prototype conversion from github to are from wiki format, to github, asciidoc or github style markdown, and we're very grateful for that contribution. It's making things much easier in terms of that transformation.

A

Now, in terms of hacked over test results, we've had 49 poll requests closed that were submitted during this year's Oktoberfest. There are six yet open still on Jenkins IO, so significant contributions to act over fest on Jenkins at I/o. There have been many more poll requests to other portions of Jenkins. This is only looking at Jenkins. That I owe thanks very much to those who've contributed across the entirety of Jenkins infra, which is again no plugins, not Jenkins core, just Jenkins tooling, and the Jenkins I/o website.

A

There are 84 items labeled for Oktoberfest thanks to those who contributed to the Chinese translation to those who've contributed to tooling. That is in other repositories, much appreciated now that highlights a challenge here.

A

We've got a challenge in this this graph right here, which is the time from from a pull request being opened to its merge, and what we see is that over the course of the last month, so this is a one-year graph and over the course of the last month we see it at a distinct and visible upward trend in the time between PR, open and merge.

A

So we need to bring that under control by bringing some more reviewers online we'd encourage you to help us please come along and help help us do a better job of reviewing and merging pull requests to Jenkins that I, oh, so that we can keep the website both current and growing. In its usefulness for users in the last month, we see that there have been 80 merged, pull requests, that's a significant increase from the preceding month and the prior month we had roughly 60. So thanks very much for that increase.

A

We still have 12 open, pull requests, or we had 12 pull requests that were proposed during the month that have not yet been merged. So there's still work to do there. In total. We have 22 open, pull requests and, in the last approximately one month, we've closed well over a hundred pull requests thanks very much to everyone, who's contributing to Jenkins that IO deeply appreciated we'll meet again in two weeks.
