So far there are no instructions on how to create such a group. Moreover, I would assume that creating the group and gaining at least its founding/starting members occur simultaneously. So I would recommend to have a section on "starting a group" that discusses also how to invite members.

I think we don't need to handhold readers in opening a public channel on slack.
Let me know what you think @TheCedarPrince @Datseris.

I would love to help with this PR. How can I get started? |
|
@TheCedarPrince Should we get this done? |
|
I would quite like to @ViralBShah ! I just got blocked as I wanted to add @Hetarth02 here to the repo to help with this PR draft (he wrote the majority of this draft with me). However, I lacked the permissions around this and got stalled. |
|
I have sent @Hetarth02 an invitation for commit access here. |
|
Oh thanks so much @ViralBShah ! Out of curiosity, is there any way I could get elevated permissions so this sort of blocking doesn't happen in the future? I've been working to involve more volunteers around the website/community building pieces (e.g. GSoC project page maintenance, etc.) but don't have permissions to invite folks as committers or to create a limited team of volunteers. Obviously wouldn't be good to have folks all with merge rights but a team volunteer committers would be nice to have. What do you think? |
|
Done. You already had maintain, but admin level will let you add others. |
|
Thanks so much @ViralBShah ! I'll be following up on this over the next few weeks. 😄 |

Should I move this blog post to |
After discussion with @Datseris at JuliaCon, I realized how much of a useful resource it would be to have a blog post talking about how to self-organize your own workgroup within the Julia community!
Thanks to discussion notes taken by George at JuliaCon during the discussion he and I had, @Hetarth02 created this awesome draft blog post for the website! I am going to do some more revisions before marking it ready for review and also want to ping some workgroup leaders across the Julia community for their thoughts.
Thanks all!
