Creation of `constructor` maintenance team #53

Closed jaimergp closed 2 years ago

jaimergp commented 2 years ago

As discussed in the conda community meeting of June 8th, we asked if we could create a new team to guarantee the maintenance of constructor, menuinst and conda-pack.

These are the people that I know they expressed interest in being part of these efforts:

I'm looking forward to helping make constructor better together with all of you!!

beckermr commented 2 years ago

@conda-incubator/steering do we want this team to live here or in the conda github org?

jaimergp commented 2 years ago

I think for now it will have to live in both orgs for technical reasons. I'd be inclined to consider conda-incubator as the authoritative source of truth, and conda replicating the list there, manually for now.

beckermr commented 2 years ago

OK. We need to solve this problem at a technical level when folks are ready. I agree that for now conda-incubator is easier to have as the source of truth.

beckermr commented 2 years ago

Done. Most of the folks there need to accept invites to this org.

jaimergp commented 2 years ago

Thank you so much, Matt!

beckermr commented 2 years ago

My apologies here! If there is anything I can do to make things better let me know!

jezdez commented 2 years ago

No worries, I couldn't respond quick enough with what the current status of my research on the Anaconda side was. Thank you @jaimergp and @beckermr for the initiative!

So I basically poked the bear a bit at Anaconda and looked into how we could make this happen in a simple way. To give some context, the governance policy describes projects like constructor etc quite nicely as "federated projects" which may be transitioned from their federated, non-community maintenance model to being community projects if the current maintainers (Anaconda) want that.

And so I've asked in the various teams at Anaconda that have worked on and with constructor etc in the past and I have received approval for the transition of these projects to community projects. 🥳

In addition to the original team list posted by @jaimergp above, the following people should also be added to the new project team:

Regarding the teams in the conda-incubator and conda organzations:

Until we have cleaned up the GitHub team maintenance (semi-blocked by #51), I suggest to basically mirror the team on conda-incubator (being the source of truth) to one in the conda organization, to facilitate actual write permissions to the projects in the conda org. This is more of an intermediate step for a larger team management alignment that is needed, FWIW.

beckermr commented 2 years ago

Adding those folks now!

jezdez commented 2 years ago

Ah, dang, I'm gonna have to continue inviting people to the team over in the conda org next week when IT has increased the number of seats:

More anaconda folks added!

jezdez commented 2 years ago

Okay, while we're waiting for Anaconda IT to increase the seats for the conda organization, I've added a number of people already in the new constructor team in the conda org.

So far missing there are:

I'll add them as soon as I can.

jezdez commented 2 years ago

Okay, the seats were added and I've invited @hoechenberger, @larsoner and @hmaarrfk as well to the constructor team in the conda org. Welcome everyone and thank you for volunteering!

I'm not sure if there is anything else needed, but I think this concludes the transition of the various projects from federated to community project status.

@beckermr @jaimergp Can you think of anything else needed to formally do here?

hoechenberger commented 2 years ago

Thank you, @jezdez!

beckermr commented 2 years ago

We should list the status as community in the repos on the the conda org.

goanpeca commented 2 years ago

I would also like to be part of the constructor/menuinst maintenance team if there is still room for more. :)

Thanks!

beckermr commented 2 years ago

I've added you here. @jezdez can sync to anaconda as he has time and energy

jezdez commented 2 years ago

@goanpeca @beckermr Done!

jezdez commented 2 years ago

I'm gonna close this ticket since I believe we've finalized everything via the @conda/constructor and @conda-incubator/constructor teams. Thank you everyone for volunteering!

Once conda.org exists we can revisit listing the status of the various projects as @beckermr suggested in https://github.com/conda-incubator/governance/issues/53#issuecomment-1163404123.
