Reorganizing teams

[cameronmcefee]

cc @CoderDojoSF/owners @CoderDojoSF/mentors

I'd like to do some restructuring of this org's teams to optimize our permission stuff a bit so that more people can be involved in the admin processes.

• Make the owner team (full admin) down to GitHub personnel only since this org represents GitHub itself. If anyone objects, feel free to voice your concern.
• New "Organizers" team. This team will have access to a private repo which will contain details for admin stuff like email/social accounts, as well as process docs for keeping the dojo running. This one will be limited to only people who have committed to helping out. This will help:
  1. Keep a limited number of people accountable for specific tasks.
  2. Limit the number of people with access to sensitive info at a given time.

In an effort to keep things moving along, I'm going to make these changes now. If there are any concerns regarding this issue, we can address them as they come.

👍

[mikefowler]

Approve.

👍 If you want to create a repo, you'd have to proxy the request to an admin. Which makes sense?

[cameronmcefee]

Oh hmm… I'll need to look into that. I'd hate to stall people by preventing them from creating repos. Mostly I just want to restrict access to admin login type data to only the people that need it.

[KartikTalwar]

Yeah, and the same goes for editing existing public repos. You'd have to fork it to your personal account and send a PR

[cameronmcefee]

Hmm that sucks. Alright, let me see if I can figure out a better solution.

[cameronmcefee]

How does GitHub even work? Ok, I think I've got it set up so people in @CoderDojoSF/mentors should be able to create repos. If you aren't able to, let me know.

[KartikTalwar]

Yup, @CoderDojoSF/mentors can now create repos but, they don't have access to public repos

[cameronmcefee]

Wat? @KartikTalwar so you can create repos but you can't push/pull to existing repos?

[KartikTalwar]

@cameronmcefee yeah, because the mentors team is restricted to mentor-tickets repo

[cameronmcefee]

Ugh, right. Ok, let me fix that too. If you create a new repo, do only you get access to it, or do all mentors, I wonder.

[KartikTalwar]

I believe all team members with push and pull access do.

Alright, all the repos are part of the mentors team now. Sorry if you got notifications for each of them. Hopefully this resolves things. If not, give me a shout and I'll see if we can improve the process further.
