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, including our newest Lesson Program, HPC Carpentry. Seventeen new Maintainers participated in the two 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.
- Learning how and when to elevate issues to the Curriculum Advisory Committee.
In addition to the onboarding sessions, Maintainers are eligible to join one of our upcoming GitHub for Maintainers and Lesson Developers professional development courses, equipping them with the skills they need to maintain an open source project effectively.
We are excited to welcome these new members to the Maintainer community and look forward to working with them, along with our many committed continuing Maintainers, over the coming months.
