Hi all,
It’s that time again; we’re coming up to release time for 25.11, and that means
picking the team for the 26.05 cycle!
Please see the roles page at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_26.05 and add your name to a
role if you would like to propose volunteering for it. The team vote will take
place on December 10th at the next development meeting.
New people are more than welcome and it’s just as important to have
non-developers helping to steer the ship as it is the developers!
Some roles we’d like to draw your attention to:
* Bug Wranglers
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Bug_wrangler> - We can
always do with more bug wranglers! These people love to keep things tidy, and
Bugzilla is always in need of your help. We need people to help manage ‘the
list’, identify the duplicates, promote bugs to specialists, and find people to
do sign-offs and testing. Everyone is invited to this party; we need you! This
is a great first-time role to take on, and it makes a real difference to active
community contributors’ lives!
* Documentation Team
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Documentation_team> - The
documentation team is a growing team that’s made great inroads into bringing
Koha’s documentation up to date and ensuring we have a well-documented piece of
software. There’s plenty more to do, and they’re always on the lookout for new
contributors. The documentation team is a super-friendly group and would love
to see you join them. What I’d also love to see are developers taking a look at
the documentation team to support with infrastructure, approaches, or more
technically challenging parts of Koha.
* Wiki Curators <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Wiki_team>
- Koha’s wiki is bursting at the seams with good information, but we need your
help to bring order to the chaos and keep improving the content. If you’ve got
an interest in maintaining an area of the Wiki, helping identify out-of-date
information, or categorising data, then this is a job for you.
* Meeting Facilitators
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Meeting_facilitators> - We
have regular meetings in the community to discuss development progress,
documentation tasks, and general community needs. It would be really helpful to
have someone to help promote those meetings, keep them on track, and work on
the minutes. Right now, these meetings are still run by me with help from the
attendees, except for the documentation team, where the burden lies on the team
managers. A new face in this role would really be appreciated!
* Accessibility Advocate
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Accessibility_advocate> -
In Koha, we really want to be open and accessible to all, but accessibility is
an area that many of us are not as aware of as we should be. We’d like to have
some people helping to promote best practices and report accessibility issues
we might not be aware of.
* Release Maintainer 1
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Release_maintainer> - We
are still looking for someone interested in doing release maintenance for the
stable release. To be frank, this is not an easy job, but it is a very
rewarding one. If you want to understand how things actually work behind the
scenes and learn git the hard way, this is the role for you!
If you’d like to volunteer for any of the roles, I am happy to chat about the
ones I have experience in or point you to a person that is better suited to
give you an overview.
Kind regards,
Paul
