Hi Steve,
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the first one of these and I'm
looking forward to today's session. I did want to go to the last
session, but I lost track of time and missed it!
I'm a new contributor who's only sent a few patches up, but these
sessions have been helpful for making contributing feel less
intimidating. I haven't quite felt comfortable enough to review any
patches on my own, so I do like the idea of pair-reviewing patches with
someone who's a bit more experienced.
See you this evening!
Kind regards,
Christina

Hi all,
The next patch-review session is taking place on Tuesday 2nd of March [0] and
I'd love to try pair-programming where groups can actively work on some patch
reviews.
Is anyone willing to 'co-ordinate' a pair programming session?
Last time I set-up a cloud host and installed Upterm (https://upterm.dev/) so
that everyone could ssh into a session. We could run 4-5 simultaneous sessions
where people could 'pair' to do patch reviews together.
To co-ordinate a session I'll give you SSH access and there are instructions on
how to launch the Upterm session. We have written instructions on some basic
tools to do the patch reviews - and as Guix is installed for each user you can
add your own ;-)
Anyone up for it?
I'm also collecting simple patches for review onto a list so they can be
assigned to each group:

Feel free to add simple issues there!
Thanks,
Futurile / Steve
