# Onboarding and Offboarding

As a project, our goal is to provide individuals and organizations in academia, industry, government, and the public sectors the information they need to ensure that their projects are easy to reproduce and reuse.

We encourage all stakeholders in data science to utilise _The Turing Way_ to understand their roles and responsibilities for reproducibility.

These onboarding and offboarding documents are living documents – as is _The Turing Way_ itself.

As you will learn from being in this community: this is a constantly-evolving project that holds [emergence as a core value](https://hackmd.io/kVkwKSYuSLWWhLzlNSuT0g). In other words: as the project evolves – so will the team that enables its sustainability as a project.

Or alternatively, whether it's changed responsibilities, a new job, shifting interests, or any other reason –– we understand that life happens, and that communities will always be shifting and evolving! While we are sad to see you go for now, we hope that you'll stay engaged with us in *The Turing Way* community!

# Core Team Offboarding Checklist

🌙 **We are sad to see you leave *The Turing Way* Core Team!** 🌙

```{admonition} Note
:class: tip
This document was prepared and shared from 2022-2023 for 10-15 community members who were identified to have a leadership role within the community, either transitioning out or stepping out of that role. At the time, this group was called the "Core Team" of _The Turing Way_, used as umbrella term for all community members who have taken on an maintenance role within the community.

This onboarding checklist is no longer in active use, it has been added to the Community Handbook for archival purposes.

Is this offboarding document only applicable for people who are/were part of core team? Or can anyone deciding to leave be able to take what they need?

I added in a bit more of an introduction for who is defined as the 'core team' - what do you think?

Maybe this is more broader a 'maintainers' checklist - not necessarily a 'core team checklist'? Will post this comment for greater visibility below

## Documenting your Experiences

We understand that wrapping up chapters and projects with _The Turing Way_ may take some time!

If you need support completing your tasks, please reach out to the Research Community Manager or Research Project Manager to help support you through the process.

Can we check if there is a some Turing offboarding policy? I would add that policy and that apart from it, this onboarding applies to everyone, with specific attention on accounts and permissions (all the "if applicable ones")

I'll add this as a direct link for folks – but most important is adding the qualifying that this was in active use from 2022 to 2023.

They can schedule an offboarding call with you in order to help document your work with _The Turing Way_ community.

Remember, everyone has expertise to share – and documentation will help us to ensure that others can learn from your experiences too.

We ask that you please update your [Record of Contributions](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/afterword/contributors-record.html) to document your experiences with contributing to _The Turing Way_.

## Celebrating your Contributions

Thank you so much for all your contributions to *The Turing Way*. We really appreciate you sharing your time and expertise with us in this community!

The Research Community Manager or Research Project Manager will reach out to discuss how to celebrate you in a way you prefer.

We are hoping to develop a "emiritus contributor programme" or other means of keeping you involved in our community moving forward.

Remember, you can always re-engage with us if you are interested in re-joining the project. You are always welcome!

As the core team is transitioning to Working groups I would add the link to the WG for newcomers to find common interests.

# General Onboarding Calls

**Welcome to The Turing Way!**

We're so glad to have you here! On this page, you can learn more about our Onboarding Calls, which has been re-initiated in 2024.

## About the Onboarding Call

Historically, onboarding in _The Turing Way_ community has happened through 1:1 connections, between the Community Manager or Community Leaders and prospective community members of the project. As the project has grown, so have the number of entry points: where folks may be interacting with different parts of project and community in .

Starting in 2024, these calls are hosted every two months, where community leaders meet new members and create a space for them to connect with our community and available resources, ensuring they have the support they need to navigate and kickstart their journey with _The Turing Way_. These calls create an open space for questions, discussions, and a warm welcome into our community.

During this hour-long call, participants learn about _The Turing Way_ project in a group setting and how to contribute to different sub-projects and working groups within the community, and may gain hands-on experience in contributing to _The Turing Way_ guides (in some cases, even making their first pull request!).

This is a space to bring your questions and interests – we're so excited to meet you!

## Agenda

As of January 2024, onboarding calls are being trialed using the following format:

1. Introduction, icebreaker
2. The Turing Way - What is it?
3. How to get involved with The Turing Way?
4. Do you have any questions for us?
5. Feedback

## Want to onboard other community members?

Please join the [#onboarding](https://theturingway.slack.com/archives/C06EVT7GKK3) channel on _The Turing Way_ slack!

We would love to have more community members join in welcoming others to the community.
