Initiatives for 2023

[UlisesGascon]

Please help us define new initiatives and priorities for 2023. 💪

Current initiatives

• Repo template as baseline (Ref: Repo template as baseline #1)
• Repository migration from other orgs (Ref: Define migration strategy and start the process #6)

New initiatives from #18

This is a list of ideas not yet agreed to become priorities in 2023, just an initial kickoff

• At least basic Metrics (Ref: Adding Metrics as organization #14)
• Migrating the repos to the new org in NPM
• Define a criteria to prioritize the efforts based on the relevance of the project
• Upgrade dependencies in the projects
• Create an standarize CI for the projects (Ref: Continous Integration tooling #10)
• Centralize and alert about the dependencies
• Create a Slack dedicated to Open Source and include it in the Contribution policy.
• Add Slack notifications for vulnerabilities, activity, releases, etc...
• Strategic decisions on making the open source projects more accessible to historical maintainers (Felipe, Steve, Kevin..)

Added new ideas from the #32

• We need to involve more people (let's make some noise in Slack)
• New initiative: Deprecating some packages that nobody uses?
• New initiative: Integrate changes made in forks from some clients and integrate them in the meetings too.

New plan from July 2023:

Global

• Normalize repositories with Terraform and prevent the manual repository creation

Tier 1: Active and Tier 2: Maintenance

• Upgrade dependencies in the projects
• Create a standardize CI/CD process with GitHub Actions (linting, testing, deployment, license-checker, etc...). Rel: NPM publication ci pipeline missing for some repos #34
• Add socket.dev to all the projects
• Ensure project metadata (CODEOWENERS, CoC, License...). Related: Metafiles Definiton #15
• Ensure quality tools with Code Climate implementation #113
• Ensure Node.js minimal versions (16.x to 20.x)
• Change NPM publication Owner to @onebeyond
• Ensure a proper changelog

Tier 3: End Of Life

• Archive projects (close issues, PRs, deprecation notice, etc...)
• Remove infra associated

I enabled socket.dev to all the organization repositories. The integration is added at organization level, so there is no need to add new projects in the future
