The
hvac
project has a strong need for help continuing to maintain the project.I'm looking to get more involvement from anyone who has an interest in doing so.
What does it mean to be a contributor?
First and foremost I want to stress that the majority of the help needed is not coding! There is plenty of coding to do but maintenance of the project is much more than that, and non-code contributions are essential.
Hugely helpful things that you can do today to get involved
What does it mean to be a maintainer?
Honestly? It's mostly
allany of the above.The rest is supporting fellow maintainers, and collaborating on decisions that determine the overall direction of the project.
I believe that we will find new maintainers organically via the contributors who are actively participating and are interested and willing.

I don't feel I'm qualified to do any of the above
That might be true, and if it is it's ok, but I bet it's not!
If you can, I might encourage you to go directly to trying out some of the things. If it doesn't work out, that's perfectly fine!
If you're unsure and want to chat through it, reach out, I'd love to have that discussion.
Suggestions welcome
Please feel free to reply to this topic with suggestions for more ways to get involved. I'm certain I missed some!
How to get in touch about contributing
If you would like to reach out privately, at the moment a DM on Discord is probably the best way.
We may look at other avenues. If Discord does not work for you, you may also reply to this post with a general suggestion, or with a specific way to get in touch with you.
