OpenCraft Core Contributors Call for Proposals: Summit to Enhance the Core Contributor Experience

Here’s my ideas:

  1. Automated reporting of code/docs contributions.
    There’s a lot of non-code contributions we can’t automatically track, but we could do:

    • OSPRs opened/reviewed/merged
    • Forum discussions created/answered/solved
    • openedx issues raised/replied/closed
    • Working group attendance/actions taken on – this one’s harder since it’s only in Confluence, but maybe?

    We’ve had stalled efforts towards a Leaderboard for a while now (see BB-6823), but maybe now is the time to finish this?

    • Having these stats automatically generated for each contributor is could replace/prepopulate individual CC sprint updates, and inform annual reviews.
    • Having these stats across all contributors could help us measure impact of the CC program.
  2. Organization-level reporting of github contributions.

    This is a subset of my first suggestion, with slightly different motivations:

    • Measure community progress against the “elephant factor” of Axim/2U
    • Reward the big contributing organizations
    • Highlight any CCs not currently employed by one of the CC orgs who may want jobs.
