[03:13:44]<AlexLiu[m]>Can you tell me a little about the standards, requirements, design, and quality assurance for a contribution to be accepted?
[06:38:37]<mstenta[m]>Alex Liu: I posted a forum topic recently that covers some of the ways you can get started experimenting with farmOS contributions in your own modules, before considering suggesting them as core upstream changes: https://farmos.discourse.group/t/approaching-farmos-module-development/762
[06:39:45]<mstenta[m]>We are currently focused on the 2.x branch of development for the farmOS server: https://farmos.discourse.group/t/farmos-2-x-releases-and-what-to-expect/736
[06:40:49]<mstenta[m]>Alex Liu: This documentation covers setting up a local development environment: https://docs.farmos.org/development/environment/
[06:41:02]<mstenta[m]>And this covers how to get started building your own modules: https://docs.farmos.org/development/module/
[06:42:27]<mstenta[m]>Regarding standards, requirements, design, and QA: if you are interested in contributing to farmOS core itself (not just a contributed module) then I would recommend starting a forum topic first to discuss what you are interested in working on. I (and others) would be happy to point you in the right direction...
[06:42:32]<mstenta[m]>Welcome to the farmOS community! :-)
[10:04:49]<mstenta[m]>Phew is it just me or was there a LOT of farmOS community activity over the weekend? Must be the warm weather and growing interest in record keeping. I just spent a good part of the morning responding to emails, forums posts, GitHub issues, etc. :-)
[10:05:12]<mstenta[m]>🌱🚀
[10:06:00]<mstenta[m]>I spent Saturday in my own garden - it was beautiful out! (Here in the Northeast US)

[13:36:25]<mstenta[m]>symbioquine if we did pursue those kind of changes in farmOS-map it might be a good reason to start a 2.x branch
[13:36:40]<symbioquine[m]>Yeah
[13:36:55]<mstenta[m]>paul121 maybe also a good time to consider the behavior settings stuff too
[13:37:02]<mstenta[m]>If they are breaking changes
[13:37:36]<mstenta[m]>(and any other BC-breaking big ideas...) :-)
[13:39:22]<mstenta[m]>@symbioquine: everything can be on the chopping block! Might as well split the Google maps behaviors and dependencies out to contrib at the same time
[13:39:57]<mstenta[m]>And anything else that isn't critical
[13:40:22]<mstenta[m]>Make farmOS-map.js itself as small as possible :-)
[13:40:52]<mstenta[m]>(just thinking out loud. You got my gears turning now. But I need to sign off for the afternoon... Later!)
[13:41:30]<symbioquine[m]>Makes sense :)
[13:41:48]<symbioquine[m]>Gotta put some thought into structure...
[13:46:55]<mstenta[m]>I wonder if it would make sense for any of this "behavior" concept to be provided by an upstream OL add on library
[13:47:24]<symbioquine[m]>oh, interesting!
[13:54:49]<paul121[m]>yeah sounds good! I'll try and dilute down the map behavior settings ideas today
[17:08:35]<AlexLiu[m]>Just wanted to give a quick update I created a post in the forum
[17:08:59]<AlexLiu[m]>I started with this division by zero bug https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/396 to start off a little slow with an easier problem
