6.1 GitHub team

rOpenSci blog editors are the member of the @ropensci/blog-editors team.

The team is maintained by @stefaniebutland at the moment.

• Blog editors can be tagged in any ropensci repo, in particular roweb3, by writing @ropensci/blog-editors (e.g. :wave: @ropensci/blog-editors, I have trouble adding citations in my post!).

• Blog editors have write access to the roweb3 repo.

• Blog editors are “code owners” of roweb3/content/blog, roweb3/content/commcalls according to roweb3’s CODEOWNERS file so any PR touching a file under these paths will automatically request their review. When one of them posts a review, it will be marked as “on behalf of @ropensci/blog-editors”.

For adding a new blog editor, the team maintainer or any ropensci admin

• ensures the user has enabled 2FA,

• adds them to the team as Member (the default role).

The blog editors can filter their notifications, e.g. using the reason:team-mention filter.

The blog editors don’t necessarily have write access to the blog-guidance repo but are encouraged to make PRs.

6.2 Posts authored by staff

• Staff members can bypass review for tech notes but they can choose to request a review by blog editors.
• Staff members’ blog posts should be scheduled together with Stefanie Butland.
• Staff members are responsible for creating the discussion forum entry for their own post and must tweet from the rOpenSci Twitter account (directly or via the Tweetdeck rOpenSci team) before tweeting from their personal account.
