Planning etcd contribfest for kubecon

[jmhbnz]

What would you like to be added?

Kubecon North America is fast approaching.

The etcd project has a contribfest session scheduled : https://kccncna2023.sched.com/event/1R2p2/contribfest-etcd-learn-from-the-maintainers-and-get-involved

Join the contributors to Etcd, the most popular cloud-native database that backs Kubernetes. We'll be working on improving key features and testing for Etcd, and in the process we’ll teach those new to the project how to contribute. Etcd is a very useful, fun, and essential project, and welcomes both new contributors and those who want to “level up”. Attendees should be familiar with programming in Go, using GitHub, and should bring a laptop on which they can do cloud-native development: either a Linux laptop or your own Github Devcontainer setup.

This issue is intended to be the parent planning issue used to track any preparation tasks and also track the list of github issues specifically set aside to be worked on during the contribfest.

---

Preparation tasks:**

• @etcd-io/maintainers-etcd to please create contribfest dedicated label. A lesson learned from our kubecon eu contribfest was not to use good first issue label as some issues that we wanted to set aside were picked up and completed before the contribfest even happened.
• Check and update CONTRIBUTING.md if anything out of date.

there's also still #16036 - in case you guys want to sit together and design a better way to integrate auth or how to refactor the lease package.

contribfest label created.

[BobyMCbobs]

these may be a good issues to be apart of the contribfest

• Use go.mod minor version pinning #16828
• Introduce grpc health check in etcd client #16276
• Integrate raft's new feature (async write) into etcd #16291

[chaochn47]

#15079 is inactive for two months. If no response from the assignee, it could be a good issue for contribfest and improves each developer experience when debugging test failures.

[serathius]

One more from Website:

Add "How to conduct a leader election" | Enhancement | Moderate |
