Hi everyone, We need your help! I'd like to advertise that we have a vote upcoming in the community for the roles for the next release cycle, 24.11. Please see the roles page at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_24.11 and add your name to a role if you would like to propose volunteering for it. The team vote will take place on May 2nd at the next community general meeting <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting_2_May_2024>. We'd love to see some new faces on the team, and we value contributions from developers to help drive the project forward. Some roles I'd like to draw your attention to: * Bug Wranglers <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Bug_wrangler> - We can always do with more bug wranglers! These people love to keep things tidy and Bugzilla is always in need of your help. We need people to help manage 'the list', identify the duplicates, promote bugs to specialists and find people to do signoffs and testing. Everyone is invited to this party, we need you! This is a great first-time role to take on and it makes a real difference to active community contributors' lives! * Topic experts <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Topic_expert> - Do you know a particular topic or area in Koha well? Then why not let people know and put your name forward as a Topic expert! These people can help drive an area forward, adding detailed information to bugs in their respective fields, and adding highly respected signoff that may be treated as a quality assurance pass as well. * Quality assurance <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#QA_team_member> - The testing and quality assurance queues are always overflowing and we need more people to take on this role. There's plenty of work to go around and not all of it is as difficult as it sounds; We encourage you to step up and contribute your expertise to these critical areas of the project. I would be more than happy to personally mentor anyone who wants to join this team, guiding them on how to pick bugs and then work through them. Don't be scared, this role is vital to keep the project progressing, but it really isn't as scary as it sounds and the team around you are all lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. * Release maintainer <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Release_maintainer> - Koha strives to support 4 versions of Koha concurrently, including one Long Term Support version. To do this, we need people committed to maintaining those versions. There's a clearly defined process to this and a group of people willing to guide and help out. You'll need to be comfortable in git and happy to work closely with the other maintainers and release team members to keep your queues in check and make regular monthly releases. This role looks great on your CV and your sponsoring company's profile too 😉. There are lots of other roles and I'm more than happy to try and mentor anyone interested in taking any of them on. If it's not something I've personally taken on in the past, I'm confident I can find the right person to help you out. Looking forward to seeing some new names on the list and your active engagement.
