Description

Hi All,

As some of you may have noticed, my response time to new issues and pull requests has been slow.

This is mainly for two reasons. First, over the last year, I have taken on significant new responsibilities at my full-time job. Second, with the pandemic finally having wound down, I've been exploring some hobbies and interests away from the PC. These two factors mean the time I have to work on Symphonia has shrunk dramatically.

I am still very interested in working on Symphonia, however, I do not think I have the ability to both sustain and evolve the project by myself.

Therefore, I am looking for 2-3 individuals who would like to take on the responsibility of helping maintain Symphonia.

I believe my time is best spent evolving Symphonia (e.g., version 0.6 API updates), or implementing new codec & format support. So, I am mainly looking to offload most of the sustaining work (please see the responsibilities below). Of course, feel free to scratch your own itches as well. :)

Initially, I will still want to have the final say on all changes made to the project. However, in the long-term, after rapport and trust is built, I would like to migrate the project over to an organization and share write access to the repository.

If you are interested in Rust, multimedia, and Symphonia, please consider volunteering and leave a message below.

Thank you!

Responsibilities

  • Learn Symphonia from top-to-bottom and occasionally consult codec and format standards
  • Triage new issues
  • Implement bug fixes for issues and submit them as pull requests
  • For issues that are not bugs, provide help and close the issue
  • Perform initial code reviews of new pull requests
  • Maintain code quality
