16:05 → 16:15 Making it easy to contribute to Invenio: Brainstorming session outcome

Speaker: Lars Holm Nielsen (CERN)

• Brainstorm session:
  • Question: How can we make it easy to contribute to Invenio?
• Themes:
  • Break the learning curve
    • Ensure that learning Invenio is a gentle process through tutorials, demo site, training, cook books, buddy system, pair programming, thorough documentation, clean architecture, ...
  • Empower the collaboration
    • Ensure the collaboration is empowered to get things done by having the right processes, permissions, transparency and communication facilitators. 
  • Focus discussions
    • Ensure discussions focus on what really matters by automating anything that makes discussions diverge or inefficient.
• First actions:
  • Action 1: Maintainer recruitment + simplification of maintainer and contributor guide (lead: Esteban).
  • Action 2: Buddy system: Develop guide for buddies that can be tested on next new arrival (lead: Paulina).
• New repository to track progress:
  • https://github.com/inveniosoftware/opensource
