Hey #rust #rustlang bubble - I am giving up maintainership of the "config" crate: https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs/issues/549

If someone wants to take over, now's your time.

#maintainer #github #repository :boost_ok: πŸ¦€ :rust: :rustcrab:

Please boost to your rustlang bubbles.


New post: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2024/trust-new-maintainer/ Whether And How To Trust A New Maintainer

What kind of trust does a project #maintainer need to have in a new co-maintainer? To get better at #opensource #sustainability, we need to improve at recruiting, training, & promoting new leaders.

I cover attributes to check for.

I mine 4 comparable situations for assessment ideas, & explain how to reduce how much trust you NEED to give by promoting someone.

&: 3 options if you're low on time

#maintainership #FLOSS


In my talks and discussions about the role of Open Source maintainers, I usually list a number of reasons why maintainers might quit or otherwise reduce their involvement.

"The Russian army destroyed my house" hasn't been on that list yet 😐 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

My guide on #maintainer burnout and departure planning:

"All maintainers eventually leave (or stop leading) projects.... It's worth taking a moment to imagine: what would a GOOD departure look like for your involvement with your project? Or... what endings or departures would be...clearer, more respectful, less wasteful?"

::: CPU-X needs new contributors and -or a maintainer!

CPU-X is a CPU-Z equivalent from Windows realm.

The developer: "I lost interest in developing this software, and I do not plan to make major changes in the future.

It bores me to develop new features, and I do not want to keep doing it anymore.

I work on my free time, but I have changed during these years and I want to do something else now."

Are you a software developer and interested in helping / contacting the current lead of the project for future plans?
