Add a page for leadership #422

Closed pikurasa closed 1 month ago

pikurasa commented 8 months ago

Add a page on who's who, so that people looking at our website knows what's up.

soumyaranjan-panda commented 5 months ago

Do you have any preference on how this page should look? And where can I get the details of those who worked on it?

I don't have any preference at the moment.

I think the first step is to figure out how to make a new page with Jekyll. If you can provide me with a template, then I can start filling it in with the relevant information.

(This is all pretty new to us, as we haven't really actively maintained the website for a while.)

Hi, would you like an entire page dedicated to it? Take a look at the picture below. We can create something similar with sliding animations.image If there are too many people, then it's better to dedicate a whole page to it. And I learned how to create a new page with Jekyll.

That seems good to me.

Yes, it should be a dedicated page.

Please remember to also link to it from the main menu, probably in "about". The new page should also be added to the siteindex as well.

Leaderboard Page Feedback

Hey @pikurasa,

Check this out: Designs — this is the leaderboard page. Let me know if you prefer to call it something else or if you have any design suggestions. Feel free to change the design or add comments for any improvements you'd like. If you prefer a different design, let me know and I'll work on it.

Questions:

Thanks!

The dev community is represented on GitHub. We transferred repos here and the commit logs in theory are intact.

Not sure how to get the contributions to documentation etc. Maybe we can glean data from the wiki?

soumyaranjan-panda commented 5 months ago

@walterbender Sir, it can be retrieved using the GitHub API, for example: https://api.github.com/repos/sugarlabs/www/contributors.

I think you can go ahead and give it a try, if you like

thefaizwork commented 3 months ago

can i still contribute to this ? i have a good idea - design for this addon leadership page @pikurasa

quozl commented 3 months ago

Anyone can contribute. Here's some ideas;

While @soumyaranjan-panda has been working on this, there's no reason why you can't help somehow.

pikurasa commented 1 month ago

I have a draft of this on https://github.com/pikurasa/www/tree/rehaul

pikurasa commented 1 month ago

We now have a leadership page. I just need to figure out a few things in order to improve it a bit, which I can do on a separate ticket.

pikurasa commented 1 month ago

@soumyaranjan-panda We may want to replace the current /profiles/ page with your "leaderboard". The profiles page is a little bit out of date. Thoughts?

soumyaranjan-panda commented 1 month ago

@pikurasa, Let me gather all the information from our previous work, and I'll share my thoughts on this soon.

soumyaranjan-panda commented 1 month ago

Quick Note

chimosky commented on Jul 4

I think a page about contributors should be called contributors, although there's already a profiles.md which has manual entries, maybe this should replace that or be combined with that as lots of the contributors there didn't write code.

quozl commented on Jul 5

I agree, leadership of the organisation does not (and does not need to) correlate to code contribution.

Oversight Board

My work on contributors page

Fetches the latest data from GitHub and updates the information accordingly.

quozl commented 2 weeks ago

But doesn't that make our website critically depend on github.com instead of sugarlabs.org alone? That doesn't seem safe.

Objective: We need to hard code it and maintain it.

My Thoughts

The Board for Sugar Labs Inc.

The current board members are:

Officers

Executive Director

Devin Ulibarri

Treasurer

Claudia Urrea

Secretary

Walter Bender

GitHub Contributors

pikurasa commented 1 month ago

A leaderboard and a "leadership" page are not the same thing.

I implemented http://www.sugarlabs.org/leadership/ last week. It still needs some updates.

However, we shouldn't put "leaderboard" contributor info on that page.

Instead, I think we can try replacing http://www.sugarlabs.org/profiles/ with the leaderboard that you propose.

soumyaranjan-panda commented 1 month ago

So you want a leaderboard page with only GitHub contributors, right?
I can do that.

But I still think that it would be great to have only one page containing all the members. People have to hop from one page to another for other positions, which is a bit inconvenient.

Let me know your thoughts, and I'll proceed accordingly. If you'd like a demo of how it will look, I can provide that.
