Each week at the FESCo meeting, we'll ask members which reviews they've worked on in the past week. It won't be _mandatory_ -- we're not going to send the boys round to visit a FESCo member who doesn't do it. But FESCo should be setting a good example. And anyone else who considers themselves an active member of the Fedora development community should also try to do the same. If one a week isn't realistic due to other commitments, set yourself a more relaxed target -- like one a fortnight, or one a month, and try to stick to that. Too many people (myself included) are just leaving the reviews unloved. When new contributors submit packages and can't get through the bureaucracy of getting them reviewed and approved, we are turning away the very people we should be embracing. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
