[PITCH]: Designing the Path to Studio Code Ownership

[Amzani]

Problem

Contributors face challenges in understanding the process and requirements for becoming a code owner, leading to a lack of clarity and potential discouragement in community involvement.

Solution

Implement a structured and transparent path to becoming a code owner, providing clear steps, guidance, and mentorship for contributors who aspire to take on code ownership responsibilities.

The primary goal is to design and implement a user-friendly process for contributors to progress toward code ownership within studio.

Rabbit holes

Resistance to change from existing code owners. This will be mitigated by conducting open discussions, address concerns, and emphasize the benefits of a more inclusive code ownership structure

Scope

• Collect feedback of current code owner pathway
• Code ownership pathway documentation
• Implementation of a mentorship framework

Out of bounds

Changes to the core code review process

Success criteria

25% increase in the number of code owners within the next 6 months
