Name a core Jupyter Server Team.

[Zsailer]

I'd like to propose a Jupyter Server Team.

This would name individuals who regularly contribute to the Jupyter Server organization+projects as "members" of the Team.

I propose we adopt a similar model to the Jupyterhub/Binder team: https://jupyterhub-team-compass.readthedocs.io/en/latest/team.html

Members would have the following privileges (pulling from JupyterHub's model):

• recognition
• team members can speak for the project in public
• merge privileges on the project repositories
• nominating other individuals to team membership

[Zsailer]

An initial cohort, based on long-time, regular attendance to our weekly meeting might be:

• me (@Zsailer)
• Kevin Bates (@kevin-bates)
• Eric Charles (@echarles)
• Vidar Fauske (@vidartf)
• Afshin Darian (@afshin)

Also (if they're up for it) I think the following people would make fantastic team members based on their previous contributions:

• Steve Silvester (@blink1073)
• Mariko Wakabayashi (@mwakaba2)
• Jeremy Tuloup (@jtpio)

Am I missing anyone?

Also, if I named you above but you're not interested in team membership, let me know (no hard feelings 😉 ).

Adding this topic to the next Jupyter Server meeting 🚀

Reviving the discussion on this issue.

With the recent merge of the Governance Software Steering Council, I think we should move forward with naming an "official" team.

To make this easy (and since they did all the heavy lifting already 😅 ), I'd like to borrow most of the process, structure, and language from Binder's team-compass docs.

Specifically, I'd like to highlight their team roles: red team, blue team, and green team. I propose we adopt this structure.

Finally, during this initial bootstrapping of the team, we obviously don't have a way to nominate one another. Instead, I ask everyone who actively contributes to Jupyter Server (in some way) to review the roles on that Binder page and self-nominate yourself for a team color. We can discuss this further at our next meeting. After next meeting, I'll submit a PR with a list of team members to name the initial team. I'll ping you directly if we don't hear from you before then.

I'd like to nominate myself as a Red Team member.

[Zsailer]

I'd also like to nominate myself as a Red Team member.

[Zsailer]

I should mention, I'm also interested in being the "Team Lead".

Team Lead role will be Jupyter Server's representative on the Software Steering Council. If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to ping me.

I think this position should be nominated, then elected by team members moving forward. We can discuss this at the next meeting too.

I'd like to nominate myself as Green Team member.

I think Zach being Team Lead and also the representative on the Software Steering Council makes perfect sense. I'd just like to note that if any other teams look to this thread as a guide, we are not taking a stance on whether those two roles should be the same person. I can easily imagine a team that has enough going on where Team Lead is one person and SSC representative is a different person.

I'd like to nominate myself for Green Team now (Nov. 2021) and Red Team after the new year when I return from leave.

Great point, @afshin! I had it in my head that these were the same person, but I totally agree with this distinction. Thank you for clarifying!

[kevin-bates]

I'd like to nominate myself as a Red Team member.

[davidbrochart]

I'd like to nominate myself as a Blue Team member.

[Zsailer]

@jess-x and @mwakaba2, you both deserve membership. 😎

[mwakaba2]

I'd love to join as a Red Team member!
