Determine initial composition of Teams #1

[Dr-Irv]

Each of the core team members should indicate which teams they wish to be a member of. Ideally, we would have at least 1 member of the current core team on each of the other teams. The longer descriptions of each team can be found at: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas-governance/blob/main/teams.md

For each team, we list the current members and who decides how new members can join.

• Core Library Team (Membership determined by team members)
  • All current core team members. If you wish to drop from this team, now is the time to do so!
• pandas-stubs Team (Membership determined by team members)
  • Irv Lustig
  • Torsten Wörtwein
• Finance Team (Membership determined by Steering Committee)
  • Matthew Roeschke
  • Jeff Reback
  • Joris Van den Bossche
  • Patrick Hoefler
• Infrastructure Team (Membership determined by team members)
  • Marc Garcia
  • Matthew Roeschke
  • Thomas Li
• Outreach Team (Membership determined by Team). Formerly "Communications Team"
  • Marco Gorelli
  • Marc Garcia
• Triage Team (Membership determined by Core Library Team)
  • People with current Triage privilege in Github
• Documentation Team (Membership determined by team members)
• Contributor Community Team (Membership determined by Core Library Team)
• Website Team (Membership determined by Team)

For the last 3 teams, we need volunteers from the current core team to get those teams started.

In the comments below, each member of the current core team @pandas-dev/pandas-core should indicate the following:

1. If you are currently on any of the above teams, and you wish to be removed.
2. If you wish to be listed as a member of any of the above teams.

If you are currently on any of the above teams, there is no need to indicate whether you wish to continue. We will assume that you will continue as a member of that team.

Responses needed by October 25.

I won't be joining any of the teams at this point. Also not the ones I'm currently a member. The time I have for pandas right now is quite limited at the moment.

@datapythonista can you clarify the statement "not the ones I'm currently a member"? Do you still want to be on the core library team? If you're not on any teams, including the core library team, then we'd move you to the "Inactive Maintainer" status.

[WillAyd]

I'd be happy to be added to Outreach and/or Infrastructure

I meant infrastructure and communications. I'm happy to stay as an active core dev for now.

[mroeschke]

I'd like to be removed from the Infrastructure Team.

(I'm happy to stay on the Finance Team)

[rhshadrach]

I'm willing to be on the documentation, contributor community, and outreach teams.

[jorisvandenbossche]

In addition to the teams I am already on, in practice I am also on the contributor community team.

And I would have the desire to be involved in documentation and outreach/website teams, but not entirely sure if I will have the time commitment.

[rhshadrach]

but not entirely sure if I will have the time commitment.

I understand what you're saying here, but I do want to emphasize in general that by signing up for a team you are not committing to having bandwidth for any particular time period nor task. At least, that's my take.

[noatamir]

I'm a bit late to respond, but I'd like to be on the contributor community team

[WillAyd]

What are our next steps here? I know we had a deadline of Oct 25 in the OP - do we still need more time to gather feedback or should we move forward?

[MarcoGorelli]

hey - i'd like to be removed from outreach please

i'm not very active now, but I have made some changes which will affect 3.0, so I'd like to stay on core at least until then (after which, I'll reassess based on my activity level)

[simonjayhawkins]

yep. happy with the status quo. i.e. just the core team for now.

do we still need more time to gather feedback or should we move forward?

although from the instructions I didn't need to comment, hopefully this ticks me off the list if awaiting further comments

On my list of things to do is to list the members of the teams based on the feedback given here. Thanks for asking. I will be doing this by the next governance meeting next week.

@jorisvandenbossche is reaching out to some people who we hope are willing to be the "vote collector" for the first steering committee vote.
