More maintainers? #1203
Comments
@kailuowang I know your work sir and it would be a real pleasure to welcome you in the team, esp. as I don't intend on contributing much anytime soon. This is me on the outside but on the inside |
Hi @kailuowang ! Similarly, I know (and depend on!) your work, and would be delighted to welcome you to as a maintainer of Scanamo! While we're doing that, it might be a good idea to talk about what all us maintainers are hoping to get out of Scanamo, aims for the project, etc so we can all support each other. What I'm going to say broadly reflects the needs of us at the Guardian (at least, I think so - David/Mariot feel free to correct me!). As you might know, Scanamo was initially created by Phil Wills while he was at the Guardian, and all the current GitHub owners of this org are either currently working at the Guardian (@davidfurey @rtyley @mchv) or are former Guardian staff (@regiskuckaertz). The Guardian currently has ~50 repos that depend on Scanamo, many of which are active - we need to maintain those projects, and part of that is keeping our dependencies up-to-date with security patches, system updates etc - we don't want to get left behind and stuck on old versions! The current core functionality of Scanamo is fantastic for us, and we don't have any current pressing needs to extend it's functionality (other than keeping up to date with new AWS DynamoDB features that are useful) - we just need it to stay up-to-date and to be able to fix bugs that affect us. For us at the Guardian, and particularly for myself, we would like:
So that just reflects what we at the Guardian need, and obviously you @kailuowang at your own company might have different needs which it would be great to understand, so please do let us know how the above fits in with what you'd like to contribute, and what you're going to need? Would it be good to have a video hangout sometime in the coming week to say hi?! |
Hey, @rtyley Thanks very much for the detailed information. It seems that what you guys from Guardian need from Scanamo is exactly what I need as well. Our goals for Scanamo are perfectly aligned.
I'll be more than happy to video hangout in the coming week. |
That's great! 😄
I actually did that yesterday! It was my first time performing a release of Scanamo, but it's actually a remarkably easy process - just push a git tag and the CI takes care of releasing it - it's available on Maven Central now.
I've not quite had enough time to learn the advantages of GitHub Actions over Travis, but I have noticed that properly configured GitHub Actions seem to build faster! What are your favourite advantages? There'll be a few secret-values to transfer over - and we might want to consider whether we want to proceed with using @regiskuckaertzs credentials!
Yeah, I'm happy enough to for them to leave them be for now.
Would a quick 20 minute call on Tuesday be good? I can do anytime within 8:30am-10am or 11am-1pm New York time (1:30pm-3pm or 4pm-6pm London time) - does that work well for you? |
In the last couple of years, Travic CI went through some significant changes including ownership change (owned by a private equity now) and pricing policy for OSS projects. As a result many OSS projects lost confidence in the platform. GH action, on the other hand, has been working way more consistently and faster. Most prominent Scala OSS projects have migrated to it. 12:30PM New York Time , i.e. 5:30PM London time works best for me. |
Great, that all sounds good to me (GitHub Actions & the time!). I've sent a calendar invite for a Google Meet meeting (note, you might want to visit the link in advance if you haven't used Google Meet before, as you may have to restart your browser to grant audio/video permissions) at 12:30PM New York Time / 5:30PM London time - I've invited @regiskuckaertz , @kailuowang , and optionally @davidfurey & @mchv, I hope everyone who's interested can attend! |
I've corrected the calendar invite because I got it wrobg the first time - the meeting is tomorrow (Tuesday), not today! Also, the project creator, the marvelous @philwills has also said he'll try to join us if he can! |
Great! Looking forward to it.

I've added @kailuowang to the @scanamo/active-maintainers team, welcome again Kai! |
Hi there! I am just curious if Scanamo can use more maintainers. I myself would love the honor to help with maintenance like release and build as well as PR review. I have extensive experience in maintaining Scala OSS projects. Scanamo has been critical to most of my projects in production. Please let me know if I can help. Thanks so much!
