I=E2=80=99m happy to announce that Ricardo Wurmus has just been appointed b= y the GNU overseers to join me as co-maintainer of GNU=C2=A0Guix. Ricardo is a long-time free software activist and has been making significant contributions to Guix for the most part of its young history in terms of code, reviews, and talks. He has deployed Guix on the bioinformatics clusters of his workplace and trained his co-workers. He undoubtedly has all the technical and social skills I would expect for the job. Please welcome him warmly! :-) I don=E2=80=99t like to think in terms of titles, and it=E2=80=99s importan= t to me that everyone can contribute to every aspect of the project in their capacity, and that decision-making remains consensus-based. So I asked myself what it means to have a maintainer hat. I think it boils down to three duties: safeguarding the project (making sure we remain true to our goals, ensure our code of conduct is honored and GNU policies are followed), giving a direction and providing guidance (paying attention to the release schedule, not losing track of priorities, being =E2=80=9Cpre= sent=E2=80=9D and aware of ongoing developments), and overseeing the infrastructure and administrative things (build farm, FTP uploads, mailing list admin, etc.) Anyone can work on these tasks, but presumably maintainers have =E2=80=9Cthe big picture=E2=80=9D. Thank you for joining, Ricardo!
