Re: CommitFest 2009-09: Now In Progress

commitfest.postgresql.org is updated, please submit new patches at
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view/open

Initial reviewing assignments have been sent to -rrreviewers. If you
didn't get one due to an oversight on my part, please drop me a note!

Thanks,

...Robert

[P.S. I learned my lesson - last CF the equivalent email said that the
CF was "closed", which of course was not what I meant at all.]

Anyone else finding that logging in at commitfest.postgresql.org fails?
I get

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

Yes. The auth server appears to be down (wwwmaster). Much discussion
has ensued on IRC, but none of us are admins. :/

Yep, we were just discussing on IRC. It seems wwwmaster.postgreql.org
is down (unpingable). If you were already logged in, you could work
just fine, but you can't get logged in, because there's no way to
authenticate you. (You know all those people trying to impersonate
Tom Lane....)

Looks like someone fixed it.

Yeah, except is it just me or is this "open" terminology equally weird?
Isn't the 2009-09 fest the one that is open right now?

being an admin only helps so much - especially if it's the network that
breaks down and not something on the server...

Yeah we major network breakdown starting at ~02:29 CEST which got fixed
at ~04:00 CEST.

I can't win.

I believe the terminology we've been using, at least for the past year
since I've been involved, is as follows:

Open = open to new patches
In Progress = working on reviewing and committing patches, no longer
open to new patches
Closed = all patches have been dealt with

So, no, 2009-09 was open yesterday. Now it's in progress, and 2009-11 is open.

Yeah, that's what we've been using to date, but I do agree with Stefan
that it's a bit confusing. I think part of the problem is that "open"
and "closed" are normally opposites, but in our case they are talking
about different things.

Perhaps we should move to something like:

Accepting contributions => Under review => Complete.

Cheers,

-1. Yellow bikesheds are sometimes mistaken for giant bees that have
lost their black stripes. Blue is much preferable.

I realized, too, that we have a handy paragraph of text that explains
all this and provides useful links. You can find it at:
