Notes from meeting

• posted in Slack for more reviewers for RWs pr DO NOT MERGE: docker-compose.yml has been updated to pull the test image from dockerhub #7359
• Lots of people caught in the assigning themselves to an issue when they have already done issues of that size. Possibly because they were author... which means we need to ask them to put draft label on first.

Tasks

Moved to this comment #2607 (comment)

Items for next week's agenda

• Introductions
• BW: If he is not interested in writing the DR, close as unplanned, if he is, leave open and make sure he is assigned, and it's in progress. ER: Unexpected Website Deployment in Forked Repo #6689

  • WG response: Some questions/comments:
    • Is the code in the directory google-apps-script actually live? There is identical code from Google Apps Script- the Google Drive "Wins-form (Responses)"- that is triggered whereas I don't see anything that would trigger the repo code.
    • If the repo code is only a copy, is there a reason to include it in the repo as if it were functioning code?

• BW: Implement "Keep-Alive" for Daniel Ridge bot so that Docker image will be updated #6266

  • Resolve CodeQL alert 21 and 23 "Potentially unsafe external link" #6230 (comment)
  • Resolve CodeQL alert 5 and 7 "Potentially unsafe external link" #6226 (comment))?
    • update guidance to KG Skills Issue: qa engineer: Klavdia Goldshteyn #7232
  • WG response: I added the closest PR Update codeql.yml to automatically create new CodeQL issues #6503 that 'fixed' these issues (and one add'l Resolve CodeQL alert 22 and 24 "Potentially unsafe external link"  #6231), but I am unclear why CodeQL considered these alerts fixed after the PR. Also added note to Skills Issue: qa engineer: Klavdia Goldshteyn #7232
• BW to RW: we are closing these as no longer planned, but it does not track the time you spent on it, let's discuss/devise labels.

• JC: Are we meeting on Monday, October 14 (Indigenous Peoples' Day, Columbus Day)?
• BW: ER: Skills Issue link to PRs that require review #7528 I changed the branch settings so that it requires two approvals. That should stop the problem of people clicking on good first issue PRs, Review Required and finding no results, even though there are issues that only have one approving review. That won't help with the problem of there not being that many good first issues to review, though. Should I lower the number of reviews for good first issues that they are required to do?

• BW to RW: Add important information about content on site to the wiki #1068 - what is the next steps for this issue. Tell me and I'll add a note.
• BW to RW: This issue Epic: Refactor website header to provide accessible navigation #4300 is a blocker for this issue Accessibility Audit #1347, which is in turn a blocker for this issue Research impact of techniques in the WCAG 1.4.4. Guideline for resizing text  #4227

    • I added the closest PR Update codeql.yml to automatically create new CodeQL issues #6503 that 'fixed' these issues
    • Note that CodeQL considered these alerts fixed and closed after the PR
    • It isn't immed. obvious why CodeQL closed the alert, however since 2021 this isn't problem for the major browsers
    • We could reopen the issues and do the changes anyway
• WG: Do any Leads/ others need to be added to the "Safe List" for the Google Drive?
  If so they or I can add their emails to the Safe List.
  • Venkatasai 'manager' accounts were removed b/c of inactivity.
    • add to safe
    • not on safe list
  • Poorna Tushara Chada 'manager' account were removed b/c of inactivity.
    • add to safe

• WG: Edits to Slack 'hfla-site-merge': Remove Freaky Wrld, Mario Antonini, (Vanessa?)
• WG: is this ready? GHA: Sort pull requests to correct column #3112
  • WG response: I updated the links for the new Project Board, but would like to discuss:
    • Some of the statuses seem like renames- do we need new statuses for these or reuse existing? Also, there are existing Workflows to cover a couple of these status situations already- can we continue using?
    • Do we need/ want these statuses still? What I am thinking about is that sometimes the PRs don't follow a simple review path: Example would be PR with two approvals, then a third requesting changes. (Also, admittedly I don't use the Project Board to look at PRs, I always go directly to the Pull Requests page. I feel like each PR needs to be looked at individually regardless.)
• BW to WG: is she still on the team, is she going to make the changes that WG specified, if not, what's next ER: update the pull request contributing guidelines #6990
  • WG response: she is inactive. I made the edits that I suggested to the ER- I believe it is ready to be made into an issue.
• WG: Discuss draft ER: Discussion of processes for removal of inactives from issues, website team #7552
• WG: Could we talk briefly about members who are on hiatus, the away on hold label, and what exceptions we want from the GHAs? Eg The label description mentions "members who will be gone two weeks or less"
• JC to WG: Create GHA to add comments to prework issues documenting issues events #4820 (comment) - Did you want to determine what is to be done with this issue and its pr? Or did you want a Merge Team member to try to figure it out?
• BW: let's review these issues that say ready for dev lead, are not assigned to anyone and are not in the icebox
• BW to JC: Instructions for Viewing the Website through a Forked Repo's GitHub Pages #6219 the blocker was addressed at a prior meeting. What's next? Ans: The issue has been closed as completed.
• JC to BW: ER: Headers Are Different Heights From the Top Navigation Bar in Mobile Views #7510 (comment)
• JC to BW: See blockers in ER: Build a tool to verify activities of HfLA members #4186 (comment)
• JC to BW: ER: Counting Activities in a PR as Activity Credit in Its Linked Issue #4536 (comment)
• BW to JC: review the issues JC is assigned to and see how we can reduce her assignments
• JC: How do we want to move the SDG files?

Notes from meeting

• BW: ER: Skills Issue link to PRs that require review #7528 I changed the branch settings so that it requires two approvals. That should stop the problem of people clicking on good first issue PRs, Review Required and finding no results, even though there are issues that only have one approving review. That won't help with the problem of there not being that many good first issues to review, though. Should I lower the number of reviews for good first issues that they are required to do?

• BW: We decided for now to keep the number of reviews for good first issue at 5, but to ask people to not do more than 5, unless you are a merge team member who is approving/merging

    • I added the closest PR that 'fixed' these issues: Update codeql.yml to automatically create new CodeQL issues #6503
    • CodeQL considered these fixed and closed the alerts but it is unclear why. It might be (?) because this hasn't been a problem for the major browsers since 2021 or earlier.
    • We could reopen the issues and do the changes anyway
• WG: is this ready? GHA: Sort pull requests to correct column #3112
  • WG response: I updated the links for the new Project Board, but would like to discuss:
    • Some of the statuses seem like renames- do we need new statuses for these or reuse existing? Also, there are existing Workflows to cover a couple of these status situations already- can we continue using?
    • Do we need/ want these statuses still? What I am thinking about is that sometimes the PRs don't follow a simple review path: Example would be PR with two approvals, then a third requesting changes. (Also, admittedly I don't use the Project Board to look at PRs, I always go directly to the Pull Requests page. I feel like each PR needs to be looked at individually regardless.)
• BW to WG: is she still on the team, is she going to make the changes that WG specified, if not, what's next ER: update the pull request contributing guidelines #6990

• BW to RW: Add new fields to WINS Display Review and _wins-data.json #5472
• BW: epic: Refactor img tags in CONTRIBUTING.md to end without a slash #6453 (comment)
• WG Refactoring so that Template .md files use labelId values instead of labelName:
  • Upon issue creation, if a 'label' is not recognized it is ignored- so can't use labelIds directly in the 'labels' or other field
  • What would work: we could use a new template label placeholder label as a trigger, then substitute in labelIds we want- these would be contained by a comment in the template body so that the automation can see the information.
  • Example shown here
  • The proposed .md solution does not work with .ymls...
