- 30 URM, 30 general addmision, 20 helpers feels good.
- 1:3 helper:participant ratio was definitely spot on.
-
Every target issue needs to be labelled with the tidy-dev-day label. Can see current list at https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+archived%3Afalse+label%3A%22tidy-dev-day+%3Anerd_face%3A%22.
-
Ideally need 1-2 issues for each participant.
-
Weight towards documentation issues as they are generally simple wins and a good place to start for new contributors.
-
Each issue becomes a label (how?)
-
Each label is stuck on a post-it: yellow = doc, red = bug, green = feature.
-
Make some large labels to group related issues (e.g. ggplot2, r-lib) on the wall.
The file bingo.pdf with source bingo.qmd contains instructions for an icebreaker game to help get attendees chatting. To prepare:
- Print 80 copies of the
bingo.pdffile. - Purchase pens for those that don't happen to have one--50 should be enough.
When the "winner" alerts Simon (or whoever is hosting) that they've filled out the whole card, gather the attendees around the winner for a group photo.
