Suggestion: administrative contact in the contrib team
Hi there, In the lights of the recent new maintainers and the account creation process, Tilman and I discussed that we'd like to see one or more administrative contacts chosen from the current team, covering the following: - informs the devel team about new (accepted) contrib maintainers and thus trigger account creation - can be a contact for the devel team to communicate with contrib without having to subscribe to crux-contrib - same the other way around, can bring up stuff on crux-devel related to contrib without requiring all contrib guys to subscribe there - sends announcements to crux@ when there are changes in contrib The last point also contains to send announcement when new guys join, since it's nice for the new guy to see he's welcome, and it shows the users that the contrib project is active and growing. Note that this is a mere suggestion, please only adapt it if you guys (as a group) like it. Thanks for considering it, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

Hi there,
Hello Johannes,
In the lights of the recent new maintainers and the account creation process, Tilman and I discussed that we'd like to see one or more administrative contacts chosen from the current team, covering the following: IMHO this is a good idea to make a clear path between maintainers (doesn't matter wich repo core/opt/xorg/contrib)
- informs the devel team about new (accepted) contrib maintainers and thus trigger account creation - can be a contact for the devel team to communicate with contrib without having to subscribe to crux-contrib - same the other way around, can bring up stuff on crux-devel related to contrib without requiring all contrib guys to subscribe there - sends announcements to crux@ when there are changes in contrib
I don't find a problem to be subscribed to the ML (devel for example without being a core member or viceversa for contrib ML), btw, this is my case.
The last point also contains to send announcement when new guys join, since it's nice for the new guy to see he's welcome, and it shows the users that the contrib project is active and growing.
Note that this is a mere suggestion, please only adapt it if you guys (as a group) like it.

If this can be took like a start point to talk about this, I think Danny and Jose can be good administrative contacts from my point of view. I think they must know about this and chose if they want to be or not (they are maintaining too many ports and I am not sure if these tasks can be more work for them). I hope this can be usefull (recent contrib member opinion). Regards, Victor. -- Learning bit by bit. -pitillo-

I think everyone could greet new users to crux@. And when a specific
I often look at the crux-core@ list to see what events are happening and sit in #crux-devel. port is affected I would also expect the maintainer to post on crux-contirb@ about the changes so it makes the job easier for the chosen people(s) to decide on what to write to crux@.

Thanks Victor :) and I'm keen on taking on this position, port maintaining isn't too much effort and I learn from it all so I keep improving. I have methods to cut down on the work load (see public wiki). I'll say +1 if i can vote for myself, else I can nominate others I would say sepen or predatorfreak would be suitable, I would also recommend trench for his excellent communication skills, if trench was in contrib too.
I hope this can be usefull (recent contrib member opinion).

I vote +1 for you and Jose, giant -1 for me (yes, I'm voting against myself). I'm a decent maintainer, but honestly I'm happy just sitting on the sidelines for the most part.
I hope this can be usefull (recent contrib member opinion).

is not a problem, just he explain that won't be a requirement for contributors, I'm also subscribed to crux-devel list, and I won't change my subscription
The last point also contains to send announcement when new guys join, since it's nice for the new guy to see he's welcome, and it shows the users that the contrib project is active and growing.
ML changes are ok imho, and about wiki access? I think also could be useful for maintaining some areas.

+1 for the idea but we need a good candidate

I would be very glad, but I think that should be a native english speaker, with language domain, high comunication, etc. I'm not that person. Best regards, Jose V Beneyto

I'd volunteer, but I'm far too lazy, and rude. -- Lucas Hazel <lucas@die.net.au>
