Recruiting additional maintainers for Groovy #214

Closed kytrinyx closed 3 years ago

kytrinyx commented 4 years ago

We're about to start a big push towards version 3 (v3) of Exercism. This is going to be a really exciting step forward for Exercism, with in-browser coding, new Concept Exercises with automated feedback, improved mentoring and much more.

This to be a big community effort, with the work spread out among hundreds of volunteers across Exercism. One key thing is going to be each track having enough maintainers who have the time to manage that community effort. We are therefore putting out a call for new maintainers to bolster our numbers. We're hoping that our existing maintainers will be able to act as mentors to the newer maintainers we add, and take on a parental role in the tracks.

If you are an existing maintainer, could you please reply to this letting us know that you think you'll have time (2-3hrs/week) to help with this over the next 6 months. If you won't have that time, but still want to be a maintainer and just help where you can instead, please tell us that too. If you have come to the end of the road as a maintainer, then we totally understand that and appreciate all your effort, so just let us know.

For anyone new who's interested in becoming a maintainer, thanks for your interest! Being an Exercism maintainer is also a great opportunity to work with some other smart people, learn more about your language of choice, and gain useful skills and experience that are useful for growing your career in the technical leadership direction. Please write a comment below introducing yourself along with your Exercism handle, and telling us why you're interested in becoming a maintainer, and any relevant experience. We will then evaluate every application and contact you using your exercism email address once we have finished the evaluation process.

Thank you!

@kytrinyx I so appreciate your work on this project! I have been a pretty much non-existent maintainer, so you should probably remove me for the sake of honesty—but I am glad this work is ongoing.

ErikSchierboom commented 4 years ago

@iHiD @tlberglund was not listed as a maintainer (https://github.com/exercism/groovy/blob/master/config/maintainers.json), so nothing needs to be done :)

I’d like to help out with the Groovy track, especially getting it V3-ready.

I don’t have that much time I can devote to maintaining the Groovy track, though - a few hours on Wednesdays and an hour or so now and then in the evenings.

ErikSchierboom commented 3 years ago

@artamonovkirill That's great! Hook me up on Slack if you have any questions.

ErikSchierboom commented 3 years ago

We're closing this issue as it was part of our push to implement the v3 version of this track and v3 has just been released.

New maintainer are always welcome though!
