| <h1 id="committer-guide">Committer Guide</h1> |
| |
| <p>This is an evolving document to provide some helpful tips for |
| committers. Most of them are lessons learned during development. We |
| welcome every committer to contribute to this document. See the |
| <a href="/versions/master/community/community">MXNet Community Guideline</a> |
| for an overview of the committership and the general development process.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="community-first">Community First</h2> |
| |
| <p>The collective effort of the community moves the project forward and |
| makes the project awesome for everyone. When we make a decision, it is |
| always helpful to keep the community in mind. Here are some example |
| questions that we can ask:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>How can I encourage new contributors to get more involved in the |
| project?</li> |
| <li>Can I help to save my fellow committers' time?</li> |
| <li>Have I enabled the rest of the community to participate the design |
| proposals?</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="public-archive-principle">Public Archive Principle</h2> |
| |
| <p>While private channels such as face to face discussion are useful for |
| development, they also create barriers for the broader community's |
| participation. The Apache way of development requires all decisions to |
| be made in public channels, which are archived and accessible to |
| everyone. As a result, any contributor can keep up with the development |
| by watching the archives and join the development anytime.</p> |
| |
| <p>While this principle applies to every contributor, it is especially |
| important for committers. Here are some example applications of this |
| principle:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>When getting a project-related question from a personal channel, |
| encourage the person to open a public thread in the discuss forum, |
| so others in the community can benefit from the answer.</li> |
| <li>After an in-person discussion, send a summary to public channels (as |
| an RFC or a discuss thread).</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="shepherd-a-pull-request">Shepherd a Pull Request</h2> |
| |
| <p>Here are some tips to shepherd a pull request. You can also take a look |
| at the <a href="/versions/master/community/code_review">Perform Code Reviews</a>.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Assign the PR to yourself, so that other committers know that the PR |
| has already been tended to.</li> |
| <li>Make use of the status label to indicate the current status.</li> |
| <li>Check if an RFC needs to be sent.</li> |
| <li>If the contributor has not requested a reviewer, kindly ask the |
| contributor to do so. If the PR comes from a new contributor, help |
| the contributor to request reviewers and ask the contributor to do |
| so next time.</li> |
| <li>Moderate the reviews, ask reviewers to approve explicitly.</li> |
| <li>Mark the PR as accepted and acknowledge the contributor/reviewers.</li> |
| <li>Merge the PR :)</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="time-management">Time Management</h2> |
| |
| <p>There are many things that a committer can do, such as moderating |
| discussions, pull request reviews and code contributions.</p> |
| |
| <p>Working on an open source project can be rewarding, but also be a bit |
| overwhelming sometimes. A little bit of time management might be helpful |
| to alleviate the problem. For example, some committers have a |
| "community day" in a week when they actively manage outstanding PRs, |
| but watch the community less frequently in the rest of the time.</p> |
| |
| <p>Remember that your merit will never go away, so please take your time |
| and pace when contributing to the project :)</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="broad-collaboration">Broad Collaboration</h2> |
| |
| <p>Sometimes, we tend to only interact with people we know. However, broad |
| collaborations are necessary to the success of the project. Try to keep |
| that in mind, shepherd PRs for, and request code reviews from community |
| members who you do not interact physically.</p> |

| <p>Apache MXNet is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), <span |

| of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, |
| communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other |
| successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness |
| or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. |
