Pre-work Checklist: Developer: Hiram Riddle

[riddle015]

Prerequisite

We are looking forward to having you on our team. Please make sure to attend the general Hack for LA onboarding to get the process started https://meetup.com/hackforla/events

Overview

As a new developer on the HfLA website team, fill in the following fields as you complete each onboarding item.

Action Items

• Add the "role: front end" label to this issue and remove the "role missing" label
• Add yourself to the #hfla-site and #hfla-site-pr Slack channels
• Share your Gmail address with the team lead so you can be added to the Google Drive
• (Once added to the Drive) Add yourself to the team roster
• Confirm with the team lead that they have added you to the zoom meeting calendar invites and GitHub repository
• Signup for a Figma account
• Attend weekly team meetings:
  • Developer (front-end/back-end) weekly team meeting, Tuesdays 7pm PST
  • (Optional) Office Hours, Thursdays 7pm PST
  • All team meeting (UX, Development, Product), Sunday 10am PST
• Complete steps 1.1 - 1.6 in Part 1: Setting up the development environment within Contributing.md
  • OPTIONAL: If you run into any issues, use 4.1 How do I ask for help within Contributing.md as a visual example to get a hold of our HfLA website leadership team. That way we can help you resolve any set up issues immediately.
• Read section 2.1 - 2.4 in Part 2: How the Website team works with GitHub issues within Contributing.md
  • Use the information from part 2 to assign yourself your first issue under the Project Board's Prioritized Backlog column and use 2.7 Working on a Issue within Contributing.md to start working on your issue
• Once you take a good first issue, you will providing estimates and progress reports.
  • Estimate: Copy the below and put it in the "good first issue" that you picked.
    Check this box when you have completed this task so that we can identify if you understood the instructions and know what to do on all subsequent issues upon assignment.

  Availability for this week:
  My estimated ETA for completing this issue:
  

  • Progress Reports: Copy the below and put it in the issue once you have been assigned to the issue at least 5 days (we check weekly on Fridays), or sooner if you have something to report. If you finish this issue before 5 days are reached, Yeah!!, do it on your next issue. This update should be done every week for every issue. The checkbox here is meant for us to see if you understood the instructions when you end up doing your first weekly progress update.

  Provide Update
  1. Progress
  2. Blockers
  3. Availability
  4. ETA
  

• Go familiarize yourself with the Hack for LA Design System page in Figma (where you can see components and their classes)
• Once all tasks are completed, close this issue. This issue will remain open until you get through your first progress report. Once you have done that, we are confident you know how to keep the momentum going on your issue and keep your team informed.

What should I do if I have a question about an issue I'm working on, and I haven't gotten a response yet?

• First, you should post the question or blocker as a comment on your assigned issue, so it can be easily referred to in the next bullet points
• Then, add the issue to the "Questions / In Review" column of the Project Board so that it can be addressed in the next development meeting
• You may also add the label "Status: Help Wanted" so other developers can see it and potentially help answer your question
• Lastly, you can post your question in the hfla slack channel and link the issue you're working on, so other volunteers can see and respond

• GitHub Project Board - Hack for LA
• GitHub Project Board Prioritized Backlog highlighted and sorted by Front End
• GitHub Project Board Prioritized Backlog highlighted and sorted by Back End/DevOps

Hi @riddle015.

Please don't forget to add the proper labels to this issue. Currently, the labels for the following are missing:
Role

To add a label, take a look at Github's documentation here.

Also, don't forget to remove the "missing labels" afterwards.
To remove a label, the process is similar to adding a label, but you select a currently added label to remove it.

After the proper labels are added, the merge team will review the issue and add a "Ready for Milestone" label once it is ready for prioritization.

@riddle015 Hi Hiram, I noticed that the small issue that you last picked wasn't ready to be worked upon. Please pick your next small issue from the Prioritized Backlog column. Based on the role filter that you want to go for, it should be the top small issue in the Prioritized Backlog column once you filter by small issues. I can demo this for you in our next team meeting as well. Please let me know when you are planning to attend one. Thank you.
