p5.js Stewards Open Call 🎊

[Qianqianye]

Hi! We'd love to invite more contributors to be the stewards of the p5.js library! 🎊

Stewards are contributors that are particularly involved, familiar, or responsive to certain areas of the project. Their role is to help provide context and guidance to others working on p5.js. The stewards will often participate or be tagged in the issues and pull requests of their focused area, and they are encouraged to actively participate in the discussions, like weighing in on feature requests, providing thoughts on bugs, reviewing pull requests, guiding the overall direction of the discussion, etc. Stewards are encouraged to take initiatives to share improvement suggestions of their focused area by opening issues and pull requests. You can read more about the organization of the project at contributor_docs/organization.md and p5.js Contributor Guidelines. Please make sure to read through the recently updated Steward Guidelines for more details.

✨Anyone interested can volunteer to be a steward! ✨There are no specific requirements for expertise, just an interest in actively learning and participating. Once added, a steward's username will remain in the stewards section of the readme until they request to be removed. If a steward is unresponsive for an extended period of time, we may ping them to ask about their status. And you can always take a break as a steward and come back! And don't forget to add yourself to the contributors list!

We can start with 1-3 stewards for each area. If you’re familiar with or interested in actively learning and participating in some of p5.js areas below, please reply to this issue mentioning which area(s) you are interested to volunteer as a steward! 👋👋👋

📣 Note: The last edit of steward list below was made on October 1, 2023. The most recent open call was closed on September 30, 2023. The next call to stewards will open in 2024. If you'd like to be a steward but are not added yet, please leave a comment below, and we will add you during next round.	Area	Steward(s)

Meanwhile, we are having a p5.js Website / Translation Stewards Open Call 🎉 right now at the p5.js-website repo. Please check it out!

[kungfuchicken]

I'm interested in being a steward, especially around a11y, data, utilities, and build process/testing, but really wherever i can be of service.

[Qianqianye]

I'm interested.

Thanks @kungfuchicken! Can you mention which area(s) you are interested in stewarding?

[GusBusDraws]

I'm interested in being an image steward! I'm currently getting ready to defend my thesis next month though so I'll probably hold off until after then before I dive into the source code & start figuring out how things work

[caliconiko]

Ooohhh I'm interested in the image area of p5js. I've messed around a bit with images before. I'm curious to learn more about them and want to contribute in any way I can :)

[Qianqianye]

Thanks @kungfuchicken, @cgusb and @photon-niko! Just added your names in the stewards section. 🎊 Please feel free to review some existing issues labeled with the focus area(s) of your interests. Thank you!

[davepagurek]

Hi, I've been working a lot with p5's WebGL innards recently and would be interested in helping out in that section! I see it's already well covered with GSoC but if help is needed anyway (or after GSoC) I'm happy to jump in 🙂 I could also help with core/rendering if there's more need there.

[KleoP]

I'm interested in being a steward in both Image and Color. I'm new to coding and P5.js (well, new to modern coding), and my background is in electron microscopy and fine arts; I'm a digital collage artist, teaching myself to draw and collage in P5.js.

[SarveshLimaye]

Hey, I'm interested in being a steward in Typography and DOM. I have been playing around with Typography before. I would love to contribute in every way I can! 😃

[jeffawang]

Hey there! I happened upon this thread and would love to contribute some time and effort here.

I could be down to help steward Math, Core, and/or WebGL (though yeah it seems there's already quite a few stewards there). I've used these features of p5, but I haven't contributed to the p5 codebase yet. I'd be happy to dig into the code for a deeper understanding soon :)

[Qianqianye]

Thanks @davepagurek, @KleoP, @SarveshLimaye, and @jeffawang! Just added your names in the stewards section. 🎊 Please feel free to review some existing issues labeled with the focus area(s) of your interests. Thank you!

[murilopolese]

Super interested in learning more and supporting development of the color modules :)

[joshuaalm]

I would love to contribute. I'm not sure which of those categories suits me best, but I have a large number of sketches on my OpenProcessing profile: https://openprocessing.org/user/66875. If anyone would like to view them and suggest an area, I'd appreciate it.

[AdilRabbani]

Hey I would also be happy to be added as a steward for WebGL and Math. I was previously a GSoC student in 2018 and implemented some WebGL features for p5.js (https://medium.com/processing-foundation/gsoc-2018-my-summer-with-processing-foundation-5e5904e816fa) 😃 I kept contributing for a while but stopped as I got super busy with my masters. @stalgiag I'm really sorry if I wasn't able to reply to any of your mentions. 😿 I would still be a bit busy as currently I'm writing my thesis but I will try my best to help with issues whenever I get time. ☺️

[almchung]

I'd love to continue contributing toFriendly Errors (would love to see other people signing up for it too!). I may also be able to help Localization Tools with some guidance :)

[yohannawaliya]

I am interested !

[Qianqianye]

Thanks @murilopolese, @AdilRabbani and @almchung! Just added your names in the stewards section. 🎊 Please feel free to review some existing issues labeled with the focus area(s) of your interests, like area:webgl, area:color, friendly errors, etc.

Thanks for your interests @joshuaalm, maybe you can take a look at some existing issues and pick one area of interest to start with. You can change the focus area later too!

Thank you @WaliyaYohannaJoseph! Can you mention which area(s) you are interested in stewarding?

Hi @Qianqianye! This is Eric, the student who you spoke with about a month ago. I'm interested in being a math steward! Thank you!

[Qianqianye]

Hi all, thanks for signing up to be the p5.js stewards and contributing to p5.js. We’d like to do a quick status check to ensure that we have an active steward list. Our plan is to conduct status check-ins 1-2 times annually, so the stewards can opt in and out as they prefer.

Please read the steward expectations below:

• ✨Anyone interested can volunteer to be a steward! ✨There are no specific requirements for expertise, just an interest in actively learning and participating.
• The stewards will often participate or be tagged in the issues and pull requests of their focused area, and they are encouraged to actively participate in the discussions, like weighing in on feature requests, providing thoughts on bugs, reviewing pull requests, guiding the overall direction of the discussion, etc.
• Stewards are encouraged to take initiatives to share improvement suggestions of their focused area by opening issues and pull requests.
• Please make sure to read through the recently updated Steward Guidelines for more details.

Action required by September 30:

• After reading the Steward expectation listed above, if you're up for staying on as a p5.js steward, or if you want to be a steward but haven't been added yet, please leave a comment below by September 30 and mention which area(s) you are interested in volunteering as a steward!
• The current stewards who haven't commented below by September 30 will be taken off the list for now to make space for the new stewards. If you become available in the future, you're more than welcome to join again during the next round of open calls.

We will update the steward list based on your response by the beginning of October. Thanks again for all of your contributions to p5.js! 🌸
