Proposal: Project Management Repository

@uBlue Members Hi folks, I wanted to get some feedback on creating a repository to discuss project related concerns that are not necessarily technical in nature.

Some examples:

Changes to the discord
Tracking issues for upcoming speaking engagements
Finance proposals
Things that don't fit into any particular repo, but affect all projects

I was thinking it could be called ublue-os/project or something. This would also include current links to our Code of Conduct, Contributor Guide, Governance, etc.

The benefit of Github is we can vote on things more officially and we could also include things on the project board from this repo.

Any thoughts? Maybe there is a better way to do this?

Discourse?

M2•5/10/24, 6:41 PM

Not opposed, just we had the discussion repo previously and it died

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:41 PM

I'm fine with leaving the project board how it is

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/10/24, 6:41 PM

i'm for discord changes

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:42 PM

we have a main repo already that does things like 4

Kyle Gospo•5/10/24, 6:42 PM

Discord changes are good, we need bots

Jj0rge I'm fine with leaving the project board how it is

Noel•5/10/24, 6:42 PM

RIght, this isn't changing the project board, it's more for having a repo to categorize issues that aren't neccessarily technical.

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:42 PM

and we have links to the CoC, contributing guide, etc already

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:43 PM

that's what we've been using main for already

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:43 PM

and it's already set up to vote, etc.

Jj0rge that's what we've been using main for already

Noel•5/10/24, 6:43 PM

Would it be helpful to have main be more focused on the actual repo it's supporting?

Noel•5/10/24, 6:43 PM

or do we think labels might be effective?

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:43 PM

labels would be a good start

Noel•5/10/24, 6:45 PM

I can create some labels and add things to the project board.

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:45 PM

we've only needed to vote like 2 times in 2 years though

Jj0rge we've only needed to vote like 2 times in 2 years though

Noel•5/10/24, 6:45 PM

might be better to do that more?

Noel•5/10/24, 6:46 PM

come to more of a concensus around changes to stuff we depend on?

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:46 PM

I'm not sure what we'd be voting on? We usually get concensus pretty early?

Noel•5/10/24, 6:46 PM

I guess it's more so that it would be documenting decisions we have made.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:47 PM

and having a central place for that.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:47 PM

Like an example might be: I want to add this bot to the discord.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:47 PM

does we have consensus on this?

Noel•5/10/24, 6:47 PM

then we have a documented discussion on github that can be referred to later.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:47 PM

and a vote that approved that change.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:48 PM

As good as threads are, I feel like they get lost and resurrected.

xyny•5/10/24, 6:49 PM

i know you abandoned github discussions for discourse, but i feel like that's literally the usecase of discussions

Noel•5/10/24, 6:50 PM

I think discourse is great for forum discussions and documentation. I'm not sure on the use case for voting on stuff related to the project.

xyny•5/10/24, 6:51 PM

yeah, it doesn't fit the bill as well

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:51 PM

I would file an issue with "Adding a bot to discord" "Hey I wanna add a vegeta bot from here: <link>"

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:52 PM

and then toss it on the board

Jj0rge I would file an issue with "Adding a bot to discord" "Hey I wanna add a vegeta b...

Noel•5/10/24, 6:52 PM

Right, I suppose what I'm trying to clarify is where that issue should go. I can default to main if we'd like.

Noel•5/10/24, 6:52 PM

and just tag it accordingly.

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:53 PM

yeah that's where we've been putting them this entire time

j0rge•5/10/24, 6:53 PM

there's a proposalproposal tag

Noel•5/10/24, 6:53 PM

sounds good. I think if we get proper labeling in place, we could use main as the dumping ground.

Jj0rge labels would be a good start

bsherman•5/10/24, 7:55 PM

looks like what I just said in the "Discord Improvements" thread is already stated here
