We’re looking for maintainers to help steward some critical Open edX repositories. Since these repos are essential to the platform, we can’t deprecate them—which means we need community members like you to keep them healthy and maintained.
As a maintainer, most of the time it’s pretty easy, keep your repo up-to-date (make sure renovate and edx-requirement-bot PRs are landing), review other PRs that come in or delegate to other CCs of your repo, and help with major maintenance efforts such as Node, React, or Python upgrades.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask here or reach out to me directly!
@qasimgulzar it looks like you’re currently not a CC so we’ll need to nominate you for CC first. Is there a repo you are more excited about than others?
@Muhammad.Ammar looks like you’re already a CC on a bunch of the enterprise repos so this would just be a rights expansion. Can you make a rights-expansion post for that repo for yourself?
@jajjibhai007 that sounds good, looks like we’ll need a rights expansion, can you make a post for the rights expansion? Also, are you familiar with the credentials service, since learner record is the MFE related to it, I’m wondering if you could take on that as well? No worries if that’s too much or you’re less comfortable taking on the backend repo.
@jajjibhai007 I’m also happy to be a support for maintainers for learner record and credentials if you take those both on; I believe they are both pretty well documented but I’m happy to talk through any history or concerns!
tl;dr; is that an existing CC that is not a CC on a given repo, can request that access to be approved by the community. You need write access to a repo before you can take on being a maintainer of that repo.
Hey @jawad thanks for volunteering. Looks like you’re not currently a CC for that repo, can you make a rights expansion post for yourself and we’ll get you write access?
