[bug] Status of employer updates? #44

Closed jberkus closed 2 months ago

jberkus commented 7 months ago

Folks,

In the past, CNCF had a contractor who would go through the list of maintainers and contributors a couple times a year and try to fill in missing/changed data from people who had changed jobs. Based on looking at contributor data, it seems like that process doesn't exist anymore? I'm finding quite a few maintainers whose affiliation is more than a year out of date.

Relatedly, we should be able to obtain updated employment data through EasyCLA, for the CLA projects.

What's the status of keeping this information up to date?

If there is nobody who will do it, I can check manually - LMK if this is needed and what file should I use for this.

jberkus commented 6 months ago

What I was trying to find out is whether we still had a contractor who was tasked with this. Sounds like no?

lukaszgryglicki commented 6 months ago

Yes we have, but that contractor researches unknown contributors by number of contributions desc, I can ask her to check a very specific list/file where maintainers are and make sure all is updated in DevStats/gitdm. LMK if we need to do this (it was done at least a few times in the past) and which file shoudl she check @jberkus

It's bigger than that, I want to look at ways to make the contractor's work faster, possibly by finding new data sources. And possibly with a campaign to get CNCF members to update their own employee data.

lukaszgryglicki commented 6 months ago

OK, /sgtm
