Hi everybody, There's been a few changes to the Darcs Team lately and which I would like to give an overview of:
* Reinier will be taking over from Petr as Release Manager * Eric (me) will be taking over from Thorkil as Issue Manager * Darcs will now be using a commit-bit model for development I am very grateful to Thorkil for stepping in as Issue Manager at a time when we most needed the help. But recently, we have decided that it's probably best for Thorkil to move on and hopefully pick up some other roles within the team :-). Thanks to Thorkil for the bug tracking help and also helping us to work out a usable bug tracking policy! I'll say more about the commit bit stuff in a separate mail. Meanwhile, check out http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsTeam for more details on the current Darcs Team. Help wanted =========== I'd also like to point some areas that we could use some help in. No Darcs Hacking experience required, just a little spare time and enthusiasm :-) Patches ------- Your role would be to watch over incoming patches and make sure they get reviewed. This is somewhat similar to the role I was playing before we spread out the commit bits. FAQ --- The FAQ is something that needs constant gardening, just a tiny bit attention every week, planting here, trimming there Overall we want to make sure that the FAQ answers the questions people have (this probably involves monitoring the mailing list and IRC channel) and anticipates the questions people should have :-) The FAQ should be well-organised and easy to add to. Technically speaking, the job should be a little easier now that we're using Darcs to manage the wiki. More info: http://wiki.darcs.net/FrequentlyAskedQuestions Events and fundraising ---------------------- So far we've had two Darcs hacking sprints and whole lot of fun at each one! The sprints are useful because they allow us to focus on Darcs for a few days, and interact face-to-face and to get in touch with our less regular contributors (hi). I'd be interested to have an organiser for these events. We want to have two Darcs hacking sprints a year, one of them preferably being in conjunction with a Haskell Hackathon. As a minimum, the job would be to find suitable venues (perhaps recruiting local volunteers), advertise the sprints and help us raise funds to travel to the events. But there's lots of room for creativity here. In the big picture, your job is to generate Darcs Hacking Time. What about helping us to throw together little local mini-sprints througout the year? How about organising some sort of programming contest? How about helping us establish a presence at open source events like FOSDEM and OSCON?
