A

Welcome to the documentation special interest group meeting for december 11, 2020.

A

By way of agenda today going to give a status report on how jenkins documentation office hours are going brief, review of google season of docs and the results from that session, and then latest data on contributors and contributions.

A

As our status, we're really grateful we're having three and four people attend our monday sessions, uh vlad silverman, meg, mcroberts and jonathan jonathan morris they've been contributing significantly. The hacktoberfest results were dramatically better thanks to the efforts of jonathan and the docker image. Improvements from vlad have been wonderful.

A

We now have a better use of official jenkins docker images. Instead of using the jenkins blue ocean images, it's more maintainable, more sensible and works better.

A

Likewise, our thursday office hours are well attended, uh kristen, whetstone, zinab, abubakar and marky jackson. Talia are all attending and have done a great job. On most recently for the last three months, google season of docs grateful for their contribution to documentation on google season of dogs.

A

On december 9th, we hosted the jenkins online meetup as the conclusion of google season of docs the jenkins on kubernetes documentation. Project xenob did a great job there and has concluded her project. She has agreed and plans to continue contributing to the jenkins project, specifically in kubernetes we're very grateful for her work. There she's posted a blog on her results and will host a retrospective in next thursday's doc's office hours.

A

With xena kristen markey and me in terms of latest data on contributions, contributors and contributions, our number of github issues has increased slightly from last time, we're at 112, whereas previously we're at 100, where we are now at 117, where we were previously at 112.

A

The same number of close, so we've not closed any issues since six weeks ago. That's not a great sign. That's one of the indicators that we may want to close additional issues, and one of the best ways to close those issues. Right now is by merging, reviewing and merging.

A

And open prs because we have a number of poll requests which are specifically addressed, merge issues and we would benefit by reviewing and merging.

A

Likewise, our metrics on pull, request engagement time are looking pretty good.

A

If you look as you look at this graph across the past two years, you see in about the last eight or nine months, we've stabilized and improved our time to engagement, whereas before there were wide swings between sometimes a pr would be as much as three weeks before it would be receive any attention.

A

Now, our our typical response is for the last three months has been within one day and that's for 85 percent of all pull requests submitted and within three days for the last nine months, so we've stabilized. This looks really good thanks very much to those who are reviewers who are assisting with the review of documentation prs.

A

The time from open to merge is not as happy a story here. We've got.

A

The graph shows us that we've reached periods in the last month, or so where it was taking us four days and four four days or more, to merge. 85, the 85th percentile of our poll requests.

A

We need to improve this. This is one where our contributors deserve our our effort, I'll put some attention to it over the course of the next few weeks and try to get us down so that in january we can report an improvement on that.

A

Now, in addition, our contributions from the last month have been a little lower than they were the month before now the month before had the benefit of hacktoberfest data included in it.

A

In this case, 47 poll requests were merged. We received eight new issues and closed 16 issues, good good progress, but we've got more to do there right now. We have 28 open, pull requests and we've closed over 4 600 pull requests in the life of the repository thanks very much to everyone working on the jenkins documentation, much appreciated.
