Yeah. That's what I am really looking for :). I would also be fine to create a new group ? PMC? for that if ComDev is not the right place. Maybe there are ways to set up other "entities" for the ASF structure that could serve the purpose ? I do not (yet) know all the options - but I believe PMC is not the only option to have a separate "LDAP group". > One note: do you *specifically* want to copy the ComDev site repo?

We can start from scratch, I was referring more to the integrations that we get from INFRA: .asf.yaml, emails sent to specific discussion lists we can customize - generally following best practices there. > My experience with both Hugo and Pelican is that Hugo is easier to > customise. > Yes we also prefer Hugo. Airflow Summit Website - prepared entirely by the Software Guru team - our producers - is based on Hugo, so that would be our preference as well. https://github.com/softwareguru/airflowsummit-website > > > template repo they recommend for new projects? > > https://github.com/apache/template-site > > I don't think that is production ready. > We have quite a lot of time before our website will be public (at the very least 3-4 months), so we are ok to take it slowly, follow the right process, and then even contribute back and make them more ready - if that would be a good start, We are happy to do so. We could eventually also add an "ASF conference template" for others and possibly pave the way to follow the same "process" (but I am usually of the opinion that in order to make something reusable, you have to make it usable first - so that would likely be a next step and we could "lead by example"). > > > > No. AFAIK any direct write access to /apache repos can only come from > > ASF committers who have signed an ICLA.

I know them personally very well and I am sure this is not a problem. And on a personal (about individuals) note - they are so much personally involved with other Apache conferences (Airflow, Beam) and now running the Community Over Code EU, that it would make absolutely sense to make them committers. I think it's more of a question - if they are made committers in ComDev, they will have access to the main ASF community site, so possibly having a separate "group"? makes more sense. So I think the main question I have now - is it really possible to have it in comdev? Or should we (any leads on how?) create a new "group" to manage it. J.
