Hello folks!

I'd like to gauge interest in an in-person sprint supporting the 
Automation & Systematization goal. Right now we are targeting Berlin on 
April 19th - April 24th. KDE e.V. has budget available to help with 
travel and lodging costs.

This will be a triple-threat sprint, with the Accessibility and 
Sustainability sprints co-located. People interested in multiple topics 
will be able to jump between them if they want.

Topics for the Automation & Systematization sprint might include:
- Writing tests
- Fixing failing tests
- Making tests mandatory to pass
- Documenting how to write good tests
- Updating outdated documentation
- Transition documentation to code (e.g. making kdesrc-build or the new 
kde-builder tool do more itself, so we don't have to write so much about 
it in our documentation)
- Make a push for enabling clang-format for more repos
- Make a push to put release notes in AppStream metadata
- Improve our AppStream CI job to require or recommend more things
- Make a CI job to enforce as much of the onboarding/new repo checklist 
as possible, and make enabling it be a part of the process

These are just ideas; the folks who attend will be the ones who guide 
the agenda.

Let me know if you're interested so I can get a sense of the level of 
attendance!


Nate
