Dear ComDev friends, I need some help in determining how we should approach developing the Community Over Code EU website and I believe dev@community.a.o is the right place to ask for it.
We are getting up to speed with preparation of the Community Over Code EU 2024 in Bratislava (June 3-6) and as a person leading a Tech committee of the conference, I am looking for a place where we could host our website. The conclusion of the discussion we had last week was that we want to get a statically generated website - based on the same tooling and ASF integration tooling as https://github.com/apache/comdev-site is. We will eventually make it available at eu.communityovercode.org and (secondary) goal of that is to make it a nice starting point for future other communityovercode sites (NA one is currently run via wordpress). Some of the committee members are particularly keen on transparency and archiving/inclusivity, so rather than creating a repo outside of ASF (which is an option) we thought the best will be to get a repo in the "apache" organisation. >From the JIRA ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-24741 - if we were to use INFRA supported GitHub repos (under the apache/ organisation) we need a "project" to host it and Rich suggested that instead of creating a new one we could do it via comdev. We have some specific requirement re: access to the repository. We are not a typical PMC where we have committers and PMC members. We are cooperating with a producer company (Software Guru) and rather than merging their PRs we would rather (especially at the crucial times before the event) want to give them direct "push" access and capability of merging PRs. So my question is: * has something like that been done before? * is this possible for comdev projects to have such repos (apache/comdev-commovercode-eu) with external people access ? * or maybe we need to add those who need write access to comdev? Is this possible (how about accessing other comdev projects ?). * how do we get such a repository (I cannot create a new repo with self-serve, I guess I would need to become a comdev member?) * or maybe it's not a good idea for whatever reasons and we should create some specific initiative (I understand comdev is not a PMC, so having communityovercodeeu group might not be the worst idea). Looking forward to getting some clarity on those questions :) J.
