Introduction

The new Green Software Champions project represents a substantial transformation from our Speakers project, including many new types of contribution (known as “activities” within this project), and for the first time a link to GSF Projects and Working Groups.

...

When a Champion submits a new activity, it is reviewed by the GSF to check for basic accuracy and alignment. We use Airtable to collect information, but all of the changes for the website go into GitHub.

The Process in detail

...

We use Airtable to collect and manage data which is to be updated. Once the PM has checked the Activities for general accuracy, data is then transcribed by the PM or Project Assistant (PA) to a YAML file. A new file is created for first-time Champions, thereafter any profile updates or additional activities are added to this file.

...

Some of the more general activities will be aligned to a Working Group rather than a project. For example, a general talk on Standards should align to Standards WG. An introductory talk about Green Software should align to the Community WG. The PM/PA will do their best to ensure the activities have a good alignment.

Approval Process

The responsibility of the Chair/Lead is to check and comment on the PR. Final approval will be done by the PM or PA. However, we also encourage Projects and WGs to discuss some of the Champion activities in their regular meetings. Doing so will strengthen bonds between Champions and Projects/WGs.

...

In the event that the Chair/Lead wishes to decline or has more questions, our main endeavour will be to seek clarity from the Champion in the first instance. Only when a resolution can not be found will the GSF decline the activity.

Example YAML File

In this example YAML file, it is the activities that need to be reviewed. The file shows the following:
