2018-05-16igt: Drop Intel from the name in docs and pathsArkadiusz Hiler
This is just a simple change to reflect the actual state. No rewording yet, just a simple substitution in most visible places - docs, README and paths. There are probably some leftovers here and there, but we can let them be for now, this is already well overdue. v2: fixed couple of obvious leftovers pointed out by Petri Cc: Petri Latvala <petri.latvala@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Arkadiusz Hiler <arkadiusz.hiler@intel.com> Acked-by: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Petri Latvala <petri.latvala@intel.com>
2018-04-25CONTRIBUTING: commit rights docsDaniel Vetter
This tries to align with the X.org communities's long-standing tradition of trying to be an inclusive community and handing out commit rights fairly freely. We also tend to not revoke commit rights for people no longer regularly active in a given project, as long as they're still part of the larger community. Finally make sure that commit rights, like anything happening on fd.o infrastructre, is subject to the fd.o's Code of Conduct. v2: Point at MAINTAINERS for contact info (Daniel S.) v3: - Make it clear that commit rights are voluntary and that committers need to acknowledge positively when they're nominated by someone else (Keith). - Encourage committers to drop their commit rights when they're no longer active, and make it clear they'll get readded (Keith). - Add a line that maintainers and committers should actively nominate new committers (me). v4: Typo (Petri). v5: Typo (Sean). v6: Wording clarifications and spelling (Jani). v7: Require an explicit commitment to the documented merge criteria and rules, instead of just the implied one through the Code of Conduct threat (Jani).

2018-01-11build: make meson more officialDaniel Vetter
I also noticed that meson.sh doesn't set the prefix for patch submission. Fix that (even thought hopefully real soon igt will move to its own list). v2: Review from Petri.

2017-07-20CONTRIBUTING: formalize review rulesDaniel Vetter
There's a bunch of reasons why I think we should formalize and enforce our review rules for igt patches: - We have a lot of new engineers joining and review helps enormously with mentoring and learning. But right now only patches from contributors without commit rights are consistently subjected to review, which makes this imbalanced and removes senior contributors from the review pool. - We have a much bigger team and we need to make sure we're aligned on where igt as a tool and testsuite needs to head towards. Getting that alignment happens through reviewing each other's submission. Pushing a contentious patch and then dealing with a heated irc discussion is much less effective. - Finally igt becomes ever more important for our testing, making sure the code quality is high is important. Review helps with that. v2: Improve wording a bit (Imre).

CONTRIBUTING requests that people do this, but it's a lot easier if we just set it up by default for them. v2: Update CONTRIBUTING about this happening (suggested by Petri). Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Acked-by: Petri Latvala <petri.latvala@intel.com> (v1)

i-g-t has become a fairly big project with lots of people involved, so lets document the basics and formalize the current process a bit. Also use this opportunity to announce Thomas Wood as igt maintainer once more. v2: Recommend --subject-prefix="PATCH i-g-t" as suggested by Damien. v3: Clean out contributing-related information from README.
