Since its launch in August 2018, Athens has grown to become an important project as an open source Go module proxy and datastore for the Go community. Over the past 3 years, we (the existing core maintainers) have focused on a stable set of useful features while ensuring Athens is extremely contributor-friendly. That work has paid off. We now have 100 contributors to date and the software is used by a diverse range of organizations around the world.
As the Athens project has evolved, we've identified a need for new core maintainers who can contribute the time and bandwidth is deserves to truly thrive. I and other maintainers know the project deserves more time than we have to contribute today. The Go community depends on Athens, and we believe it's important to keep the project and healthy and vibrant into the future.
Maintainership Qualifications
If you're interested in becoming a core maintainer for the project, we are looking for some minimum qualifications:
Maintainership Responsibilities
Since the project's feature set has remained relatively stable over the past year or so, much of the initial work would involve the following tasks:
The time commitment for this has historically been around 5 hours per week, and I would help you to ramp up. Once you are familiar with the above, you would then have a voice on whether to continue new feature work.
What to do if You're Interested
If you are interested in becoming a core maintainer for Athens, please send a direct message to me at
arschles
on the Gophers Slack to let me know you're interested. I will reach out to you to have an initial discussion.Maintainership of this project is rewarding for many reasons, but primarily because you get to build software that is core to so many developer workflows across the community and world. I hope to hear from you!
