GitHub Admin

[cbeams]

Docs: WIP at bisq-network/bisq-docs#64 (should move to https://bisq.wiki/GitHub_Admin)
Team: @bisq-network/github-admins

Note: @ripcurlx uses the Owner-privileged service account @bisq-github-admin-3 to perform GitHub administration duties.

2017.12 report

• Experimented with GitHub's new 'team discussions' feature, and discovered that it's not ready for primetime / suitable for our uses under the Bisq DAO. Perhaps that will change.
• Performed usual admin activities related to creating new repositories, assigning access rights, etc.
• Migrated from having bisq-network/github act as the 'root node' for our org and all its repositories (i.e. where our .mrconfig is stored) to having this managed under bisq-network/dao.

There were no major changes or incidents otherwise.

2018.01 report

We started using Atomist this month as a replacement for Slack's built-in GitHub integration. You've probably seen the @atomist bot in most of our channels reporting commits and comments on GitHub issues and pull requests, etc. This is just the beginning of what Atomist can do, though. It's really all about automating the process of development itself (or automating everything about development that can be automated anyway). People can read up about it elsewhere, but I'm excited about how Atomist can take our already pretty serious GitHub-fu to the next level and make a lot of the stuff I do manually happen automatically.

Note that Atomist is also built by a lot of my old friends and colleagues from the Spring team, so I'm extra excited about it, as they have a tendency to build excellent, useful things. I've already had some initial chats with them about what we're up to with the Bisq DAO and how Atomist might be able to help. We'll see where it goes.

Otherwise, there's not much to report. Just basic day-to-day GitHub admin activities like inviting new contributors to the @bisq-network org, managing team memberships, creating repositories, etc.

2018.02 report

Not much to report this month.

GitHub published a new /github Slack app that looks promising. I'll be replacing our old Slack GitHub integration over the next month, and possibly swapping out Atomist for the new native GitHub app if the latter seems like a complete replacement for what we're using Atomist for now.

2018.03 report

As discussed in last month's report, I did swap out all Atomist integrations with the new /github Slack app, and while it has some rough edges, it's basically meeting our needs.

I created the new https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq repository this month, as a new "root level" repository for managing all other repositories in the @bisq-network organization. See the readme in that repository for details. Previously, the bisq-network/dao repository had been playing this role, but that arrangement was a bit awkward. Now the dao repository is responsible for managing only non-code (i.e. dao-specific) repositories like bisq-network/roles, bisq-network/dns, etc.

I've also just updated the assignees and description of this role issue to reflect that I'm the 'primary' GitHub Admin, and that @ManfredKarrer is the 'secondary'. Both of us have Owner rights, and can technically service any request, but I am the one who is on point; Manfred plays a passive, "backup" role.

2018.05 report (cont)

I forgot to mention above that GitHub released a new, long-awaited feature this month, that allows users to see the revision history of issue descriptions and comments. As I wrote in this tweet, this is important for the Bisq DAO, where certain kinds of issues, like those in https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals are quite important, and where changes to them can really matter.

See https://blog.github.com/changelog/2018-05-24-comment-edit-history/ for details.
