IETF96 Code Sprint

Sprint Goals

The IETF 96 Code Sprint in Berlin will, as always, let you work on fixing those things about the datatracker which you most urgently desire to do something about.

Sprint Participation

The Sprint will be run according to the IETFSprintHowto.

If you plan to participate, please sign up on the IETF96SprintSignUp page.

This sprint will take place from 9:30 to 18:00 in meeting room Koepenick I/II.

The coding will end 18:00 on the dot, with dinner afterwards. The meeting rooms map will help you find the way here: http://www.ietf.org/meeting/96/floor-plans.pdf

We have the mailing list "[email protected]" to help with coordination and for use during the event. Please make sure you're subscribed before the event starts. More info on the list is available at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/codesprints.

There is also a jabber room at [email protected].

For information on setting up your environment, code checkout and commit, etc., see the SprintCoderSetup and SprintDatabase pages.

During the sprint, please update the two tables below; this helps both with coordination and with getting the code merged, released, and deployed :-)

See you in Berlin!

This sprint's plan

  • Address whatever is bothering you the most
  • Identify an area of code which lacks testing coverage, and write tests
  • Fix as many of the issues captured at EnhancementIdeas as we can.

Please consider the higher priority items first. If you're looking for a short task, look for rows marked "easy" . If there's something you hope the sprint will address that's not on that list, please enter it as a new ticket using http://tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/newticket

Who's working on what?

Please fill in the following table when you've picked a task for the sprint. It's quite all right to pick and complete multiple tasks :-)

Who Short Description **Related ticket numbers **
Suresh 1971
Suresh 1648
Pete Generate message to Secretary and IESG when AD changes to "Approved" state 796
Ben Make it easy to see what stream published RFCs came from in search results and summary forms 764

Completed code ready for merge and release

When you are ready to commit code which is ready form merge and release, please use the phrase Commit ready for merge in your commit message, if all related changes are contained in one commit, or Branch ready for merge if all your commits to your branch, up to the current, should be merged as one unit. This is described more extensively in CodeRepository#Requestingamergetotrunk

For sprint work on other things than the datatracker, please fill in the following table:

Who Notes

Wishlist (for this sprint or future sprints)

See (and add to) the list started at EnhancementIdeas -- current method of adding items is to open a new trac ticket.

If you have time to take on larger tasks between sprints, look through the full set of open tickets at http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/report/13 for those not marked sprint.

Special notes for setup for this sprint

Prerequisites

  • A working knowledge of python and/or web design

  • Learn the basic concepts of Django 1.7, e.g., work through the excellent tutorial.

  • Bring a laptop with Python 2.7, Subversion and (optionally) Mysql (5.x) installed, and be ready to check out a branch of the IETF web site from the tools svn server. (Some hints on preparing mac laptops are at MacSetup, hints for Debian 1.7 at DebianWheezySetup)
