Hi everyone, I am Rahul Bothra (pro-panda). I am a Python Developer and code reviewer for Sugar Labs.
I was a GSoC' 18 student with Sugar Labs, and I worked on porting Sugar to Python 3. I continue contributing in terms of code, code reviews and as a mentor in GCI' 18.
I am excited our goals and our potential. But I am concerned that the way we are working is wrong. Currently in the SLOB meetings,
- A lot of the members are inactive. They don't attend the SLOB meetings or reply to motions, crippling our progress.
- There is a lot of talk, but there is not an equivalent amount of work done. We fail to properly materialise discussions
- We don't have a concrete plan of our goals. We try to cover a lot of breath in our efforts, and end up working on things which are not related to our goals (eg: Sugar Social)
- We drag work for a lot of time, (eg: ASLO v3) a direct result of inactive mentoring and checks during GSoC
I also feel there is a lack of concern about the number of developers working on Sugar and the activities. We are failing in attracting new consistent developers despite being a popular GSoC and GCI organisation.
What I will undertake once elected:
- Attend every SLOB meeting regularly
- Revamping how we conduct GCI and GSoC to attract more contributions; prioritising tasks which are more important to us, and improving mentoring checks to ensure that mentors are active
- Work on a roadmap of our goals across various domains and timelines, and try to make sure they are implemented
I would like support from the community for my candidature for the post as a SLOB member.
