Dan (Apr 18 2025 at 00:43): Dan (Apr 18 2025 at 00:43):Zulip has extensive developer documentation and tooling. Vagrant and Docker, git hooks, linting. It's very easy to jump in. Though there's a lot of guidelines; fair enough.
Dan (Apr 18 2025 at 00:43):And then I make a pull request and realize I'm on the top of a stack of 35 pages of open PRs. Maybe 30% are assigned for review.
Dan (Apr 18 2025 at 00:44):What's the point? I get that they're too busy to review it all. Why put in so much effort into the great onboarding?
Philip Durbin (Apr 26 2025 at 22:13):It looks like you got a review! Great!
Dan (Apr 26 2025 at 23:05):Yeah I decided to ask about it on CZO. It turned out that they missed me.
Dan (May 13 2025 at 19:36):First commit merged into Zulip: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/34370
Second PR already made, that one is a bit more interesting, but on the same topic.
Dan (May 13 2025 at 19:37):Wasting no time adding it to my portfolio :sweat_smile:
Philip Durbin (May 13 2025 at 21:45):Fantastic! Go, go, go!
Philip Durbin (Aug 15 2025 at 01:19):@Dan congrats, you're listed at https://blog.zulip.com/2025/08/13/zulip-11-0-released/ :tada:
Dan (Aug 15 2025 at 01:47):lol
Dan (Aug 15 2025 at 01:47):I'll take it!
Philip Durbin (Aug 15 2025 at 11:24):That same blog post has this:
"To learn how we’ve built a thriving open-source community around Zulip, listen to an interview with Zulip’s head of product on the Business of Open Source podcast."
It was a good listen.

@Dan way to go! I have another “resume add” I want to discuss with you and @Philip Durbin at next meetup!
Dan (Aug 19 2025 at 19:12):Huh. Cool. (makes me realize that I should add this release link to the Zulip section of my portfolio!)
Philip Durbin (Sep 25 2025 at 22:13):Zulip is having a community call to celebrate its 10 year anniversary: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/1-announce/topic/Zulip's.2010-year.20anniversary/near/2265846
