C.1.1 Registration for mentors

Call for rOpenSci Maintainers to Support First-Time Contributors

Welcome! We are looking for maintainers of rOpenSci packages or R packages maintainers to participate in coworking events designed to support people making first-time contributions. If you are interested in participating please fill out this form. Please contact [CONTACT 1] or [CONTACT 2] if you have any questions, or check out the blog post announcement [ADD BLOG POST LINK].

Then, if participating, we ask that maintainers:

  • Work with rOpenSci staff to pick dates/times for the coworking events which best work for everyone.
  • Create and/or identify issues in your rOpenSci repository as ‘Help wanted’ and ‘Good first issue’.
  • These can range from documentation to coding changes. We just ask that some issues are relatively accessible to contributors with less experience.
  • Attend one of the Coworking sessions to be available to offer advice or answer questions.
  • Have some availability before and after the Coworking event to respond via GitHub and Slack to issues, comments, or PRs which may arise from contributors outside of the two-hour coworking slot.

If you participate, you can also expect that:

  • We will connect with you before the events to find a date/time for the coworking sessions and see if you have any questions regarding issue-labelling or the coworking sessions.
  • We will be available to support you during the Coworking sessions on Zoom, as well as on GitHub, Slack, or by email before and after.
  • You will receive a $[XXX] USD stipend to help offset the time you spend teaching and mentoring these new contributors.

With the support of [FUNDER].
