Description
With improving Continuous Delivery (CD) infrastructure it has become easier than ever to use bleeding edge builds of our applications. This is reducing the threshold for users to become contributors.
Description
KDE Itinerary has an active community of people running bleeding edge builds in production and providing valuable feedback and quality assurance based on that. This has resulted in significantly improved stability of our releases, and alerts us to breakage of external online services within hours.
In this talk we'll look at what can be done to facilitate this and what has been learned from working in this way over the past years. We'll also discuss the limits of this approach, and what can be done to further improve this.
Biography
