RUST'S COMMUNITY AUTOMATION

Emily Dunham, @QEDunham Devops, Mozilla research

  • Rust
    • 1.0, May 2015
    • 79% loved
    • Famous for being welcoming
  • Automation tools
    • Allows a small team to support a huge community
    • 2 ways:
      • Social processes
        • Code of conduct, rules, how they are enforced
      • Helpful team of robots 🤖
        • Automatic reminders, e.g. when posting to subreddit
        • Some people are excluded, as they don’t want to work within code of conduct
        • Trade-off, get the people contributing who otherwise would be excluded
  • Communication is mandatory
    • RFC process in public GitHub repo
    • Time invested, pain of rejection are positively correlated
  • Appreciation
    • Call out people in the community (friend of the tree) for doing something awesome, worthy of recognition (nasty code cleanup)
  • If you get the chance to get in on the ground floor, set up the processes at the beginning, with community values, for example. Can’t enforce later on.
  • 🤖 The robots
    • The not rocket science rule
      • Automatically maintain a repo of code that always passes all the tests
    • https://GitHub.com/servo/homu
      • Automatically fast forwards master to tested state, guarantees master always passes all tests
      • Having a bot neutralizes code review conflict
      • Starting out:
        • Travis
        • Protected branches feature of GitHub
          • No-one can force push
          • Required status before merge
    • Automatically welcome new contributors
      • Bootstrap
        • PR and issue templates
        • Hooks that nag you
    • Perpetual contributors, needing mentorship
      • Scrape tags
      • Rust Starters
      • Bootstrap
        • Clean up your repo
          • README, CONTRIBUTING, …
          • Issue tags + documentation
        • Automate your pipeline
    • TL;DR
      • Not rocket science rule
      • ?
      • Mark, share introductory bugs
