Getting ready to seek a new maintainer #13

I'll probably stop maintaining the extension soon as i'm getting quite busy. Would love to pass maintainership to you if you're interested.

I'm somewhat of a hands-off co-maintainer. Perhaps I can accept and commit patches, and write documentation, and do other tasks. But I tend to avoid writing code. Maybe I can try to ask around online and find some new code contributors.

For mahfoozm

@mahfoozm, please consider doing the following:

  1. You could transfer the GitHub repository to myself (unforgettableid). Please see here if you'd like to learn how.

For SSADC

Dear @PresidentKevvol, @Aayush9029, and @JudahGoldstein: I wonder if one of you might be willing to please do the following, if you're comfortable doing so. Who might be willing? Please leave a comment below.

  1. Maybe you could please add me to the SSADC-at-york GitHub organization.
  2. Maybe you could then delete SSADC's outdated fork of YorkURMP.

Hopefully then we can transfer ownership of the official YorkURMP repository from myself or mahfoozm to SSADC-at-york. You're welcome to help maintain the code, but definitely not obligated. The main benefit may be that it keeps the code in a public place where new committers can hopefully easily be added in the future. (Even long after mahfoozm and I have both graduated.)

I have sent you the invitation, welcome to the SSADC We are happy to take over the code repository for you and let @unforgettableid serve as the project leader from now on

@PresidentKevvol:

I've been staying away from Discord lately. Hanging out on Discord can be fun, but can take up a ton of time. 😢

Does the SSADC ever meet up in person on campus? There are lots of underused computer labs where we could meet in the evenings. For example, Chemistry Building room 125. Or the civil engineering lab in the William Small Centre. Some labs have projectors, and good, fast, usable desktop machines. Maybe even with Linux and/or dual monitors.

The Lassonde club hub, or the YFS, might be able to give us a small club office. This might be free. Some paperwork is probably needed. See issues #14 and #15, here.

@unforgettableid Our discord isn't really a social one where we hang out, if you want that there's CSHUB. We use it for discussing stuff like this. And we don't really do in person stuff, we aren't a club, it's more of a loose dev collective. Everyone I've met in SSADC has been in CSHUB events or classes.

PresidentKevvol commented 2 months ago

Unfortunately, we do not have regular in person meetings as of now, but we hope to have them soon.

We are a sub-club under CSHub but with more autonomy than a usual 'department' within a club, in a way like Canada and Britain. Many of our members are in both groups, so technically their office is also our office if we should ever need to use one

JudahGoldstein commented 2 months ago

@unforgettableid as for #14 and #15, we offer are under the CSHUB umbrella, we aren't large enough for club registration and the nature of our mission means our membership is highly variable.
