Maintainer application #87

Closed vinisalazar closed 3 years ago

vinisalazar commented 3 years ago

1. Why do you want to be a maintainer of this lesson?

I believe that this lesson is very important to the scientific community, as learning how to package and publish Python code is a valuable skill for many researchers. There are some resources on how to do this in the Internet, but having this available as a Carpentries Incubator lesson makes teaching it much easier. I have made some contributions to this lesson and hope to continue to contribute as a maintainer.

2. What experience with the content of this lesson do you have?

I have developed and packaged a Python application for my MSc research, and am in the process of publishing it. I've had hands-on experience with the topics covered in all episodes of the lesson, from "Setting up a project" to "Testing and continuous integration".

3. What experience in open source maintenance do you have?

I have contributed to a few open source projects, such as Conda-forge, Bioconda, and Biopython. I am conscious with Git best practices such as using appropriate branches, writing descriptive commit messages, etc.

4. What Carpentries Experience do you have?

I am a certified Carpentries Instructor and have taught a couple of workshops. I've also contributed to several Carpentries lessons as part of a project funded by the Python Software Foundation.

Thanks @vinisalazar. I would love to have you as a co-maintainer. @tobyhodges how can we make that happen?

tobyhodges commented 3 years ago

I am delighted to see this happening! As this is not an official lesson there is no formal process for becoming a Maintainer - if @brownsarahm is happy to have you involved, @vinisalazar, then we are good to go.

I have invited Vini to join the Carpentries Incubator organisation, and the Maintainer Team for this lesson. After that invitation is accepted, he should receive Maintain-level permissions on this repository and can start the important work of reviewing and merging PRs, triaging issues, etc. If there is anything else that I can do to help, please ping me here again.
