Background:

Recently we proposed changes in the workflows used for producing the QGIS changelog with each release:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Changelog-Workflows

In this session we would like to help to onramp more editors and content managers for the changelog. Generating the changelog is a HUGE task each release and it is only getting bigger as features flow more rapidly into QGIS. We really need your help, so come along to this session to find out how the process works and how you can contribute.

Note: We will record the Jitsi room for this session so you can watch it again later!

Agenda:

  • Walk through of the current process (as described in the wiki page above), and improve the clarity of the workflow description.
  • Demo of adding a new feature to the changelog.
  • Ideas for establishing a standardised writing style for changelog entries.
  • General discussion.
  • Call for helpers.
  • Registration of new helpers on the platform & giving them the needed access rights.
