Hello folks!

I'd like to gauge interest in an in-person sprint supporting the
Automation & Systematization goal. Right now we are targeting Berlin on
April 19th - April 24th. KDE e.V. has budget available to help with
travel and lodging costs.

This will be a triple-threat sprint, with the Accessibility and
Sustainability sprints co-located. People interested in multiple topics
will be able to jump between them if they want.

Topics for the Automation & Systematization sprint might include:
- Writing tests
- Fixing failing tests
- Making tests mandatory to pass
- Documenting how to write good tests
- Updating outdated documentation
- Transition documentation to code (e.g. making kdesrc-build or the new
kde-builder tool do more itself, so we don't have to write so much about
it in our documentation)
- Make a push for enabling clang-format for more repos
- Make a push to put release notes in AppStream metadata
- Improve our AppStream CI job to require or recommend more things
- Make a CI job to enforce as much of the onboarding/new repo checklist
as possible, and make enabling it be a part of the process

These are just ideas; the folks who attend will be the ones who guide
the agenda.

If this ends up happening, please do keep me in the loop on what you're thinking of building so I can provide the necessary guidance to make it easy to deploy things that are built :)
 

Let me know if you're interested so I can get a sense of the level of
attendance!


Nate
