We're creating a maintainer team! Join us :D

[willingc]

Hi all,

We're hoping some of our long-time users or enthusiasts for nbgrader would like to be part of a team of individuals maintaining nbgrader.

We've structured JupyterHub and Binder in a similar way. See https://jupyterhub-team-compass.readthedocs.io/en/latest/team.html#jupyterhub-team

Please leave a comment on this issue. If you have questions, please leave them here too.

Can I propose @BertR ?
(Lead developer for the Noteable service run out of The University of Edinburgh, and done a lot of work with the external exchange plugin, as well as other parts of nbgrader)

[willingc]

@perllaghu We're going to email those that participated in the sprint last year. I agree @BertR would be a great addition to the maintainer team. Looking forward to hearing back from @BertR. ☀️

Hi everyone, I would like to join the mainainer team. Thanks for the suggestion @perllaghu and for setting this in motion @willingc

Thanks so much for opening this @willingc !

First of all, I really, sincerely apologize for dropping the ball on responding to emails, issues, and PRs---life has caught up with me and I have been really struggling to find extra time to look at nbgrader stuff recently 😞

I hope this will mean that the PRs that you all have been making (and that I have been failing to review) will be able to move forward. We will grant everyone in the maintainer's team the ability to do standard maintainer stuff on the repository: merge PRs, triage (close and tag) issues, etc. so this should make it easier for all of you to move forward on the improvements and changes that you need for your setups.

Please do let us know if you have any questions!

[jhamrick]

@BertR I have gone ahead and added you---thanks a lot!

@perllaghu would you like to be added to the maintainers team too?

[willingc]

No worries @jhamrick. I'm in the same time boat as you. Miss seeing you in person too. Stay safe.

[perllaghu]

@perllaghu would you like to be added to the maintainers team too?

I think just one from EDINA is enough :)

Thanks for the invitation. Happy to help if I can, though I have limited time and expertise of nbgrader.

Thanks also for the invitation. I keep an eye on the repo, but have retired from teaching. Feel free to reach out to me if there is ever anything I can do to help!

@jhamrick count me in as part of the team. I will try to help as long as I can. Cheers.
