Description

roles and team

Notes copied and pasted from Coordination Meeting notes. (me and @taldcroft)

  • Can just copy how Sunpy did it: http://sunpy.org/team.html
  • Request headshot or other image
  • Pic, Name, Github handle, Twitter username on gallery box.
  • 150 words hover bio. About their contributions to the project. Optional: Where you work and work title/position.
  • Coordination Committee first
  • Anyone with a role: Core Developer and Leads and Deputies
  • Any Contributor who self identifies as making a "substantial contribution" that wants to be added
  • Divide up current site into Team = Roles and People
  • Think about how to make it easy for people to contribute and edit their entry.
    • Easy to search and find relevant bit of code
    • Or contributor personalized file
    • Guidelines for filename
    • Maybe script a way to generate a bunch of files based on google form.
    • Once a year call for new contributors - reopen google from, re-run script.
  • Email to astropy-dev should ask for folks who have “contributed substantially to the Astropy Project”.
