We need GitHub teams for people who are familiar with Windows and Linux #169

Closed kytrinyx closed 6 years ago

kytrinyx commented 7 years ago

I've never worked on Windows, and it's been almost 10 years since I had a Linux machine. There are a lot of times where we could use help with opinions, suggestions, and verifying things on Windows/Linux.

I've made two new teams, @exercism/linux and @exercism/windows - these don't have any repositories associated with them, they're just interest groups.

If you are familiar with, use, or love either of these platforms please please let me know so I can add you to the correct team, and we can ping you when we are stuck on something.

iHiD commented 7 years ago

Should we also have /mac as well to spread the burden there?

kytrinyx commented 7 years ago

We could, but from my observations a lot of contributors are on mac and we rarely (? never?) have questions about it.

kytrinyx commented 7 years ago

@jwood803 @blueelvis earlier I've asked you about Windows things. Are you up for this?

@kotp you seem to be a prime candidate for the Linux one. How do you feel about being pinged about this sort of thing?

Smarticles101 commented 7 years ago

I'm moderately familiar with Linux

robphoenix commented 7 years ago

I use Linux for personal and Windows for work, I'd be happy to be added to both teams. I'm no expert in either but am happy to at least attempt to resolve any queries.

stkent commented 7 years ago

cc @FridaTveit maybe?

rpottsoh commented 7 years ago

Windows here. Zero mac, and very little Linux experience.

Theodus commented 7 years ago

I use multiple distributions of Linux on a daily basis and would be glad to help where I can.

HarrisonMc555 commented 7 years ago

I really like using Linux. I'm no expert but I can probably help with a lot of beginner questions. Most of my work in exercism (in several language tracks) has been in Linux.

yurrriq commented 7 years ago

I use macOS daily, am quite familiar with a few flavors of Linux, and have little experience or interest in Windows.

tleen commented 7 years ago

Linux here.

iHiD commented 7 years ago

Would any of you lovely people like to help us with #170, which is very linked to this?

m-dango commented 7 years ago

Happy to join Linux. Can probably help a bit with Windows too, but I typically only use that for gaming. (When I was last writing code on Windows I went out of my way to use bash in WSL...)

FridaTveit commented 7 years ago

Happy to join both Windows and Linux :)

catb0t commented 7 years ago

I use Windows (7 and 10) and desktop Linux every day, so I'm very familiar with both of them.

NobbZ commented 7 years ago

I'm primarily a linux guy, as I am using Funtoo and Ubuntu for personal use and also CentOS and Fedora at work.

But besides the VMs running on CentOS or Fedora at the office, the host box is running on a Windows 10.

So I'd applicable for both teams, would prefer to be only in linux though ;)

kytrinyx commented 7 years ago

Thanks everyone, I've added you all to the teams you've suggested. I'm going to leave this open so I can think of how to document this such that others know that they can join these if they want to help out.

kotp commented 7 years ago

Yes, for Linux for me.

rahulagrawal97 commented 6 years ago

I use Windows and would be glad to help where I can.

devkabiir commented 6 years ago

Happy to work on windows.

marnen commented 6 years ago

We should have a Mac team too, no? I'd be happy to be on it, and probably the Linux team too.

marnen commented 6 years ago

Ah, I missed @kytrinyx's earlier comment about a Mac team. I have more Mac experience in general than Linux, but I usually do Exercism on Linux instances on Cloud 9, so most of my Exercism experience is on Linux.

ilya-khadykin commented 6 years ago

As for me, I'm currently using Windows, but planning to move to Linux world soon (I'll install Ubuntu)

@marnen it's a good idea to use Cloud 9 👍

Stargator commented 6 years ago

Windows experience, no access right now.

Currently using Linux - Ubuntu

katrinleinweber commented 6 years ago

What about the Request to join button(s) on the teams' pages: @exercism/linux and @exercism/windows? OK to use, or is a mini-application here favored?

kytrinyx commented 6 years ago

Request to join works for people who are already part of the organization, which might be good enough.

opheliagame commented 6 years ago

Linux, for me!

coriolinus commented 6 years ago

My daily driver machine is Windows, but 100% of my development happens within WSL, which is fundamentally linux. Feel free to add me.

kytrinyx commented 6 years ago

Great, thanks @opheliagame and @coriolinus -- done!

kytrinyx commented 6 years ago

For anyone who wants to be added to these teams in the future, please open an issue in http://github.com/exercism/exercism.io/issues and we'll get you sorted!
