@samhita-alla, I don't think I've sufficient permissions for doing that.

[BAGEERADHAN]

I would like to contribute on some blogs. So can you assign that to me

[samhita-alla]

@Azanul, ah okay! Why don't you leave a comment on the issue you want to work on? I'll assign it to you.

[samhita-alla]

@BAGEERADHAN, there's no issue for blog posts. If you're willing to work on one, please feel free to create a draft and share it here or on Slack. You can create a PR later for the same.

[aryabyte21]

https://aryabyte.hashnode.dev/mlops-for-data-scientist tried out a blog

[samhita-alla]

@aryabyte21, thanks for sending the article along! Will review it shortly.

[aryabyte21]

Ok

[srini047]

Hi team! I would like to work on What is Data Orchestration?

Here is the draft to look for updates if required.

[samhita-alla]

@srini047, the draft's emtpy.

[srini047]

@srini047, the draft's emtpy.

I just submitted the draft to show my interest. Will update after I complete the draft.

[VanshajPoonia]

Hey! I am interested in converting the Docs and Blogs into Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, or Russian
I can also try out Portuguese and Arabic

Just tell them the language in which you want them to be, and I will start working on them.

[samhita-alla]

@VanshajPoonia, sorry, we don't need our docs to be available in multiple languages for now.

@samhita-alla Are you allowing multiple assignments to the same issue?
If not, I'd like to fix a couple of things

[samhita-alla]

Please don't assign yourself to this issue. If you'd like to work on an issue that's there in the description, go ahead.

[Azanul]

@samhita-alla I was just testing the self-assign

[Azanul]

@samhita-alla Can I implement

1. blocking multiple users self-assign
2. unassigning automatically if no activity for 15 days

[samhita-alla]

I like (2). Might not want (1).

[Azanul]

How about auto-closing issues when their respective PR is merged?

[samhita-alla]

That's possible through linked PRs, right?

[Azanul]

Yes, but I don't think it is being used. Many of us are simply unaware of the proper syntax. It'd help if you mention it.
How to link an issue to a PR

[Azanul]

@samhita-alla Should I deal with stale PRs in the same or leave them as they are?

[samhita-alla]

@Azanul, what stale PRs are you talking about?

[Azanul]

PRs that have been inactive for a specific time, like 30 days or something. Like this one: Stale PR

[samhita-alla]

Um, okay. Can you push the changes to the same PR? You can keep it like 120 days because some of our PRs are valid for a long time.

[Devolta05]

Hey @samhita-alla, can you open some more Good First Issues & Hacktoberfest based Issues? Most of the issues have been taken up & some people are working on them, others are not. I am not able to contribute. Thanks

[samhita-alla]

@Devolta05, take a look at the unassigned issues here: https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ahacktoberfest. We might not be able to create more of them. If say, it has been a week or so but the assigned issue doesn't have a PR yet, then feel free to create one; I can re-assign it to you.

[srini047]

@srini047, the draft's emtpy.

I have updated the draft. Any changes appreciated.

[hridaya423]

Hi I've added a new blog: https://dev.to/learnearnfun/quickstart-to-flyte-39ml

[techytushar]

Hey @samhita-alla ,
Is there any update on the swags and prizes ? How and when we'll get them ?

[samhita-alla]

@techytushar, we'll start shipping swag at the end of November.
