bitesize tag for OpenBMC issues
Hi all,
In our continuous effort to lower the barrier-to-entry for OpenBMC contribution, I've added a 'bitesize' tag to a couple of our repositories on github.
This tag is intended for issues that could feasibly done by a relative newcomer to OpenBMC. A few general criteria that I'd suggest we use:
- Are self-contains and don't require an understanding of multiple subsystems
- Doesn't require in-depth knowledge of OpenBMC internals
- Doesn't involve long-term design decisions, or external interface definitions
- Are fairly-completely described by the content of the issue
I don't think all bitesize bugs should necessarily be "easy", but just well-encapsulated and can provide a starting point for someone with technical experience in related fields.
For example, we'll be using this for kernel issues that a kernel developer, with no prior OpenBMC experience, could potentially help out with.
These issues will then appear in our project-wide query:
https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Aopenbmc+label%3Abitesize
- which is referenced in our contributing doc:
https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/contributing.md
So: please feel free to add this label to your bugs & enhancements! If you'd like to use this on a repo that doesn't already have the label available, please let Patrick or me know, and we can add it.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Ah, turns out I just wasn't quite logged in in this particular browser... ignore me!
