Thank you for your interest in having your project participate in Dev Days, an event hosted by the Academy Software Foundation. This document outlines guidelines for projects to follow as they participate in Dev Days.

Setup your Dev Days infrastructure

To particpate in Dev Days, the project needs to have a few things setup to make it easy for participants to identify issues to work on how how to get engaged with the project.

Tag issues that are for Dev Days participants to choose from

To have an issue be marked for Dev Days participants to choose from, make sure that the issue...

1. ... has the labels "good first issue" and "help wanted"
2. ... is OPEN
3. ... is unassigned
4. ... has been updated within the last year

You can validate this by looking for it in the list at https://clotributor.dev/search?foundation=aswf&good_first_issue=true&page=1.

Some other labels you should add to these issues include:

• Add the label "docs" or "documentation" to indicate if it's a documentation specific issue ( these are great ones for Dev Days! )
• Mark the difficulty of the issue to help guide the participant
  • easy: the issue has the label difficulty/easy or level/easy.
  • medium: the issue has the label difficulty/medium or level/medium.
  • hard: the issue has the label difficulty/hard or level/hard.
• You can also use the labels below to help participants filter on the kind of issue it is, but this is probably less crucial.
  • bug: the issue has a label that contains the string bug.
  • feature: the issue has a label that contains the string feature.
  • enhancement: the issue has a label that contains the string enhancement or improvement.

Ensure the issues are well filled out and defined.
