Seeking your thoughts on LLM-generated contributions

Seeking your thoughts on LLM-generated contributions

[Daniel Pono Takamori]

Heya qemu developers,

We at Software Freedom Conservancy have been hearing from member
projects that people are asking whether they can submit code to these
projects that was generated by large language models (LLMs), sometimes
called AI coding assistants.  We'd like to better understand the nature
of these requests, how much LLM-generated code has been offered to these
projects, and generally how you're feeling about the situation.

To do this, we will be holding three different sessions, where you are
welcome to join and share your thoughts and any details so far on these
types of contributions.  The sessions will all be run in the same way
with the same topic - we are running three in order to hopefully allow
as many people from around the world to attend as possible.

Our Director of Compliance, Denver Gingerich, will be hosting some sessions
at the times below for all our member projects to discuss the issue.

date -d "2024-10-29 20:00 UTC"
date -d "2024-11-01 14:00 UTC"
date -d "2024-11-06 04:00 UTC"

We'll be meeting in this room for the sessions:

We are excited to see some of you there and are looking forward to
drafting appropriate recommendations based on what we hear!

Thanks,
-Pono at Software Freedom Conservancy

Hi qemu contributors!

Thanks so much for those of you who joined out first and second calls
regarding LLM-generated contributions. We were incredibly happy to hear
new perspectives and the community sentiment around these tools. As we
incorporate some of the new ideas into our thinking we are adding one
more session (we realize our last session aimed for EU timezones fell on
a holiday there). That will be:

date -d "2024-11-12 15:00 UTC"

And a reminder for the one coming up soon targetting Asia-Pacific
timezones.

date -d "2024-11-06 04:00 UTC"

Both of the above will happen in the same BigBlueButton room as before:

If these times do not work for you, please feel free to write us at
info@sfconservancy.org with any thoughts you'd like us to consider.

Thanks!
-Pono
