Maintenance and moving GetTogether forward #323
Description
Hey everyone, I would like to step in and maintain this project. All of it, including running/paying for the domain, hosting the main instance at GetTogether.Community, empowering others to run their own instances, etc. Most importantly, help move this project forward in terms of stability, security, and features.
I use to run a couple of Write the Docs meetups in New York & Philly, created a comic book meetup, and ran an Ubuntu release party in San Francisco. I've also attended MANY meetups in my time, though admittedly not many since the pandemic. I constantly ran into UI, UX, and pricing model issues with Meetup. I was going to create my own tool until GetTogether launched. 👍🏼
Since though, development has slowed and then ceased. This is common in many open source projects and I get it. It's hard. There's several good points/items brought up in the 116 open Issues on this repo. Simple low hanging fruit ones like links being broken I can't help with without the access to get things merged.
I reached out to @mhall119 back in February (I think) to discuss this but we hadn't gotten to a decision. It was a busy time. I've reached out again recently in hopes of starting the discussion back up. If this request is ignored or passed on, I might end up forking the repository but that would disconnect it from all the open issues and PRs that this project has. Working directly with those issues/PRs makes project management much easier to catch up on the backlog.
I know there can also be security concerns when handing over the keys to a project so I'm more than willing to chat with someone on a call, Zoom, etc. You can also look me up on my personal website and LinkedIn.
