Groups   156 of 99+      julia-users › Julia community stewards 5 posts by 5 authors      Tim Holy    Jun 29  Other recipients: juli... googlegroups.com  Hi everyone,   I'm writing to call your attention to a new page on the julialang website,  explaining the mission of a newly-created group called  Julia Stewards :      http:  julialang.org community stewards    This is a group that we hope will have very little to do, but which seems  important given the growth  present and future  of the Julia community. As  stated in the first paragraph:       The spirit of community is crucial to free open-source development. In the      large majority of cases, interactions are naturally constructive, but in      rare cases conflict can arise. This document explains the mechanisms for      conflict reporting and resolution within the Julia community, to handle      violations of the Julia Community Standards.   Naturally we welcome questions, discussion, and feedback on this document,  either here in the mailing lists or in  new issues  at:      https:  github.com JuliaLang julialang.github.com issues   Best wishes,  --your Julia Stewards       Lyndon White    Jun 30  Other recipients: juli... googlegroups.com    Excellent  quality people. Good of them to step up to formally take on the nontechnical roles -- ontop of the very significant technical roles most  all?  are already playing.   As such, can we new get a formal response from one of these Stewards to  Bridging the IRC and Gitter   https:  groups.google.com forum  !topic julia-users ImKYzqHXA90   Further to that,  the IRC,  and thus the gitter, due to the bridge  was spammed 3 times in the last week  Which I think is abnormally high . It would be nice to have someone on IRC and Gitter with the ability to kick spammers, or at least set up a bot to catch flooding etc. The chat channels do seem rather lonely of stewardship, as it were.

Technical maintenance of community forums is not their responsibility.     Chris Rackauckas    Jul 5  Other recipients: juli... googlegroups.com  I think in general we need some active mods for IRC Gitter. Some people with the ability to edit something to get rid of accidental mentions  sorry  parallel....  and ban spammers. It's not too bad, and most issues are dealt with people being reasonable, but I can see future moderation needed. Who would we talk to about this?
