Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

Nudge on https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/25586 ... Can a PMC member install the bot [ or work with infra to make that happen, ex: via https://github.com/apps/welcome/installations/new ]? I'd be happy to, but do not believe I have those permissions - do advise if I should message/create-ticket

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

A PR: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/25586 text could likely be improved ( open to suggestions/changes ), but this captures at least the intent. For this to work, we need to install the bot as also mentioned in the PR. On Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 6:02 PM Robert Burke wrote: > I agree that t

I agree that the bot is better than nothing at all. +1 to getting a PR with messaging out for review. On Tue, Feb 21, 2023, 5:29 PM Robert Bradshaw via dev wrote: > FWIW, I'm generally in favor of such a bot. I think it really boils > down to a concrete proposal of what the content (and trigger

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

FWIW, I'm generally in favor of such a bot. I think it really boils down to a concrete proposal of what the content (and triggers) would be. On Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 1:36 PM Austin Bennett wrote: > > It is fantastic if generally able to address welcoming newcomers manually [ > @Robert Burke ! ] .

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

It is fantastic if generally able to address welcoming newcomers manually [ @Robert Burke ! ] . Community communication, human connection [ ex: community > code ] ideal!

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

Agree with Robert here. The human connection is important. Can we have a behaviorbot that reminds the reviewer to be extra welcoming up front, and then thankful afterwards, instead? :-) That said, a bot comment would at least state our intention of being welcoming and grateful, even if we then do

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

I can't speak for all committers but I'm always aware when it's someone's first time contributing to beam (the First Time Contributor badge is instrumental here), and manually thank them and welcome them to Beam. Seems more meaningful for the merging comitter to do it rather than an automated proc

If the merge message is a key part of this then I'm fine using behaviorbot (though I think a PMC member would need to install it, I don't have the right permission set). > I'd also be happy to leverage first-interaction for everything it can do, and only use welcome-bot for the things that aren't

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

There are lots of great places for messages/encouragement to developers as they work more into our community. Though, PR merge messages would potentially be quite valuable [ for ex: https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-asf-launches-firstasfcontribution-campaign ... specifically, I wanted t

Re: new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

Hey Austin, I'm +1 for adding a welcome bot, I would vote we use https://github.com/actions/first-interaction instead though. The pros I see are: - (minor) we don't need to install the bot (which would require infra approval I believe) - GitHub has generally lowered (if not completely deprecated)

new contributor messaging: behaviorbot/welcome

Hi Devs, I'd like us to consider adding behaviorbot , and specifically behaviorbot/welcome to beam's repo. This will allow us to easily have a bit of messaging to new contributors. Ex: on first issue creation and/or first P
