Welcome to our Newest Lesson Maintainers!
We are pleased to announce that our most recent cohort of Lesson Maintainers have completed onboarding and are ready to support lessons across The Carpentries curricula. Thirty new Maintainers participated in the three hour onboarding, with the following goals:
- Orientation to The Carpentries goals and vision for lesson maintenance.
- Getting connected with other Maintainers and the overall Maintainer community.
- Developing skills for creating a positive environment for all contributors.
- Becoming familiar with the key components of the lesson template.
- Practicing core technical skills for lesson maintenance.
- Learning how and when to elevate issues to the Curriculum Advisory Committee.
