Set up "Infrastructure" subteam

[jezdez]

@conda-incubator/steering Here's my official proposal to create a new conda infra team

Proposal

I'm proposing to form a new "Infrastructure" subteam

Team Charter

Following the governance policy, this is a static charter with the additional condition that any member of the steering council may join this team if they so choose without the approval of the rest of the steering council.

The "Infrastructure" subteam helps with maintenance of the developer and community infrastructure of the conda project, as delegates of the conda steering council.

That includes the conda, conda-archive and conda-incubator organizations on GitHub and related lower-level infrastructure systems that enable the steering council, projects under the conda governance policy and the larger conda community to participate in an effective, open and transparent Open Source ecosystem.

Work areas

• maintenance of GitHub repository settings and permissions
• responding to and coordinating of feedback in infrastructure-specific discussions in the conda/infra repo, e.g. coordination with other community stakeholders
• respond to project maintainer feedback about continuous integration systems and similar build systems
• password management of backend systems
• shared GitHub workflows and actions
• documentation system setup
• domain management (e.g. conda.org)
• maintenance of the existing repositories:
  • https://github.com/conda/.github
  • https://github.com/conda/actions
  • https://github.com/conda/infra

Scope

The "Infrastructure" team works as delegates of the conda steering council and follows the Conda Code of Conduct. It provides the necessary help to members of the conda ecosystem, when they request it, and limits its scope of work according to their roles and responsibilities mentioned above.

Proposed members:

• @jezdez
• @kenodegard
• @dbast
• @beckermr

EDIT: Changed from "dynamic" to "static" charter, meaning: EDIT 2: fleshed out team charter EDIT 3: added actions and .github repos

I made two changes

• I added myself to listed set of members.

Yes.

Apologies for the late addition, I noticed that the .github and the actions repositories should also fall under that team, added it above.

Voting Results

This was a standard, non-timed-out vote.

Among Steering Council members there are 10 "yes", 0 "no", and no abstentions.

This vote has reached quorum (10 is at least 50% of 15).

It has also passed since it recorded 10 "yes" votes and 0 "no" votes giving 10/10 which is greater than 50% of 10.

I've created the team and invited everyone listed above: https://github.com/orgs/conda/teams/infrastructure

For consistency, I've also renamed the conda/infra repository to conda/infrastructure.

[dbast]

Thanks everybody. Happy to be part of the infrastructure team!
