6. Possible Topics
It worked well at the last sprint to devote some of the time to "unconference"-style sessions, proposed by attendees and scheduled into a grid of timeslots and rooms. Do we want to plan on that again? —KevinBullock
Important things we want to discuss:
6.1. Project infrastructure (Kevin Bullock)
I'll give a report on the current state of the project's infrastructure (server, buildbot, bugzilla, mailing lists, &c.), and walk people thru the config automation we've done via Ansible and Docker. Hoping to get some more people familiar with it so they can solve problems when they arise.
6.2. Refactoring changegroup API (Gregory Szorc, Pierre-Yves David)
See discussion at: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-August/086763.html
6.3. Topics (Sean Farley, Erik van Zijst, anyone else)
Flesh out topics: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/TopicPlan
6.4. MergeDriver internals (Siddharth Agarwal, ...)
Talk (~1h) about internals of MergeDriverPlan + whatever work we end up doing next.
6.5. StreamClone and Batch wireproto enhancements (durin42, indygreg)
Seem related. Streamable and reorderable batch.
6.6. Your topic here! (Your Name)
Add your own topics here.
