Hi everyone!

The Twisted Fellowship, for this time, has come to an end, and as such, here is my final report.

• (braid) #22 - Properly install twisted's trac plugins
• - #7813 (closed, already done) - twisted.trial.test.test_doctest should be ported to python3

Tickets worked on:

Even though we didn't get the Git migration done in time for the end of the fellowship, I am happy to report that it is in a much closer and much better known state than before. If you would like to assist in getting some of the work done above reviewed and merged, drop by https://github.com/twisted-infra/braid/pulls !

January 2016 - SFC Sponsored Development

This is my report for the work done in January 2016 as part of the Twisted Maintainer Fellowship program.
It is my last report of the Twisted Maintainer Fellowship 2015 program.

With this fellowship the review queue size was reduced and the review round-trips were done much quicker.
This fellowship has produced the Git/GitHub migration plan but has failed to finalize its execution.
