## How to change roles
*Note: this section is aimed at owners in the tldr-pages organization
(i.e. the group of people who are able to perform these changes).*
If you notice a contributor being particularly active,
review their recent contributions to check whether a role transition is due,
according to the criteria defined in the previous section.
If a role change is warranted, **open a new issue proposing that role change**,
using one of the template messages below as a base.
### For adding new collaborators
Open an issue with the following message:
```
Hi, @username(s)! You seem to be enjoying contributing to the tldr-pages project.
You now have had five distinct pull requests merged ([LINKS TO THE RELEVANT PRs]),
which qualifies you to become a collaborator in this repository,
as explained in our
[governance guidelines](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md).
As a collaborator, you will have commit access
and can therefore merge pull requests from others, label and close issues,
and perform various other maintenance tasks that are needed here and there.
Of course, all of this is voluntary
— you're welcome to contribute to the project in whatever ways suit your liking.
If you do decide to start performing maintenance tasks, though,
we only ask you to get familiar with the
[maintainer's guide](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/contributing-guides/maintainers-guide.md).
Thanks for all your work so far!
```
Once they acknowledge the message,
go to https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/settings/collaboration
and add them to the repository as collaborator with write permissions.
### For adding new organization members
Open an issue with the following message:
```
Hi, @username(s)! After joining as a collaborator in the repository,
you have been regularly performing maintenance tasks. Thank you for that!
According to
[GOVERNANCE.md](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md),
you've now met the thresholds to be effectively considered
an active maintainer of the project ([LINKS TO THE RELEVANT PRs]).
To publicly acknowledge that fact, we'll add you to the tldr-pages organization.
If you accept the invitation, we ask you to make your membership public,
and (in case you don't already) start hanging out in our Gitter chat room.
You'll now be one of the public faces of the tldr-pages project.
Welcome aboard!
```
Once they acknowledge the message,
go to https://github.com/orgs/tldr-pages/people
and add them to the organization as a member.
### For adding new organization owners:
Open an issue with the following message:
```
Hi, @username(s)! You've been an active tldr-pages org member for over 6 months.
Thanks for sticking around this far and helping out!
According to
[GOVERNANCE.md](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md),
you're now eligible for becoming an owner of the organization.
That means you will, from now on, be part of the team
responsible for performing role changes (like this one!) in the community.
Before performing such role transitions, make sure to review the
[COMMUNITY-ROLES.md](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/COMMUNITY-ROLES.md)
document.
Thanks for all the work you've done so far. You rock!
```
Once they acknowledge the message,
go to https://github.com/orgs/tldr-pages/people
and change their role from "member" to "owner".
Afterwards, add their name to the list of current organization owners below.
### For removing inactive organization members:
Open an issue with the following message:
```
Hi, @username(s)! As you know, our
[governance guidelines](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md)
define processes for keeping the list of organization members
in sync with the actual maintenance team.
Since you haven't been active in the project for a while now,
we'll be moving you to the status of former maintainer.
In practice, not much will change on your side,
since you'll remain a collaborator in the repos you have been active in,
so **you will keep the ability to commit, merge PRs, label and close issues, etc.**,
if you feel so inclined. But even if you don't,
keep in mind that every bit of work you already did for the tldr-pages project
was a voluntary gift of your time to this community.
Your efforts have contributed to a project
which helps hundreds of people every day — be proud of it!
And of course, you're welcome back anytime as a maintainer, if you so choose
— in which case we'll re-add you to the organization,
as is also described in the guidelines.
In any case, we wish you the best of luck in your new endeavors!
```
Once the role change is completed,
make sure to update the lists below accordingly.
