I will add the topics to the today's governance meetingBest regards,OlegOn Wednesday, October 7, 2020 at 12:43:49 PM UTC+2 Oleg Nenashev wrote:Dear all,As discussed at the previous Governance meeting, I suggest to revise the definition of Jenkins Officer roles listed on this page. These roles were defined in 2015-2016 as a part of the original officers proposal, and the effective responsibilities have drifted from the original descriptions. It would be great to update the role definitions ahead of the elections, so that the nominees and voters can see actual responsibilities.A few changes I would like to suggest:
- Shift roles from doing the administrative/maintenance work on their own to coordinating the work inside the teams and SIGs led by the officers. While officers are responsible to ensure that the mission-critical community processes work, they are not expected to work on them single-handedly. More delegation and sharing responsibilities is a good thing for project sustainability.
- Set expectations about onboarding new contributors to the teams, knowledge sharing, and facilitating contributions to the area of responsibility. All teams would benefit from having more contributors and clear requirements/ladder for those who want to take roles within the teams.
- TBD: The bullet above might be even extended to having "shadow" or "deputy" officers as it was proposed by contributors in the past. Such approach could help to ensure healthy officer rotation in the project, with opportunity for officers to move on to other roles or to take a break when needed.
- Add expectation about facilitating initiatives within the scope of the responsibility, and maintaining the team's roadmap.
A while ago I submitted https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/pull/2943 for the event officer definition (follow-up to the previous PR by Alyssa Tong and Mark Waite). I suggest using it for collaborative editing of the role definitions. Please feel free to propose any changes in this thread or in the pull request.Best regards,Oleg Nenashev
