Infrastructure requests#

Use this process to request infrastructure support from the committee.

What to expect#

  • An acknowledgment within one week

  • A review within one month of opening the issue

  • Two reviewers per issue, when possible

  • An agreed time frame for approved requests

  • A reason for rejected requests

Review process#

  • A project member opens an issue on the infrastructure repository using one of the provided templates. Committee members monitor incoming issues and manually assign reviewers.

  • Each reviewer fills out the reviewer template within the given time frame.

  • If the reviewers reject the proposal, the issue should be closed as not planned, and the author cannot appeal.

  • If the reviewers approve the proposal, the issue should only be closed as completed when the task is completed.

  • If the reviewers are split, another member of the committee is asked to review, and then their decision counts as the final vote.

Reviewers use this template:

Reporting to the board#

The infrastructure committee provides quarterly reports of our requests and results. The committee strives to fulfill every request made, but in the event that a request is denied due to lack of resources, we can petition the board to fund more resources.
