Seeking volunteers for the evolving structure and roles of the Drupal Community Working Group

The mission of the Community Working Group (CWG) is to foster a friendly and welcoming community for the Drupal project and to uphold the Drupal Code of Conduct.

As the Drupal Community Working Group (CWG) moves into its seventh year, we have been thinking a lot about how we can evolve it to better serve the changing needs of the Drupal Community. 

At the moment, the four members of the CWG split our time between reactive issues (conflict resolution and Code of Conduct enforcement) and proactive issues (community health resources, workshops). While the work is often emotionally taxing, it is also often extremely rewarding. We believe the proactive work has a large impact on the community, but our time is often filled with reacting to issues in the community. 

To this end, we have been working with Tara King (sparklingrobots) on identifying new CWG roles, mainly focused on proactive tasks. These new roles will not play a part in conflict resolution matters and will not receive access to any incident reports or other confidential information that has been shared with the group, with the exception of subject matter experts, who may see some limited information when brought in to consult on specific cases. These new roles are designed for individuals to help provide insight and expertise into how we can better support and grow our community.

It is important to note that all CWG members must abide by the CWG Code of Ethics, regardless of if they consult on conflict resolution or Code of Conduct enforcement cases or not.

The list of new CWG roles follows below. In some cases, we have already reached out to individuals to fill some of the roles. Full details about the roles can be found on the Community Working Group's Community Health Team page.

• Community health - develops and produces community health initiatives like workshops and tweaks to drupal.org processes.
• Community event support - assists Drupal community events with Code of Conduct template, playbooks, and other resources. It is our hope that this role be filled by members of the newly established Drupal Event Organizers Group. 
• Subject matter experts - includes individuals with knowledge of specific geographic, industry, and mental health areas. In some cases, subject matters experts will be provided with limited information about specific conflict resolution issues they have been brought in to assist with.
• Ambassadors - coordinators between the CWG and other groups, including the Drupal Association, other open source projects, Drupal.org maintainers, and Diversity and Inclusion.

We are strong believers that the more proactive work we do, the stronger and healthier our community will be and the less reactive work we will have. 

If you, or someone you know, are interested in any of the new roles, please drop us a line at drupal-cwg [at] drupal.org. Include your name, drupal.org username and which role (or roles) you are interested in.
