Advanced Patch Feedback Session: Closing the Commitability Gap
Tuesday, May 28th. 12pm. Vancouver Campus, SFU, Vancouver, CA
Participants will work in small groups with a Postgres committer to analyze a past contribution or attempted contribution, discussing what they could have done better both in the patch and communication about the patch.
Contributions should be existing proposals or committed work previously discussed on pgsql-hackers. Attendees should be an author of the contribution.
