TTW Infrastructure Working Group: Moving The Turing Way to a Github Organisation!
Channel: The Turing Way
Date: 2023-08-15

This video recording was made of The Turing Way Infrastructure Working Group, a group within The Turing Way community that works on infrastructure maintenance of The Turing Way project on 10 August 2023. The recording focused on transferring the Github repository of The Turing Way (which was previously within the Alan Turing Institute Github organisation), to its separate organisation.

To learn more about this transition to a Github organisation, view this issue on Github and comment your thoughts: https://github.com/the-turing-way/the-turing-way/issues/3213

*Visual description of speakers*:
Described according to initial speaking order, as this was not noted in the initial video.
- Anne Lee Steele: A mixed East Asian woman in her late 20s/early 30s with short brown hair, wearing a tan jacket and black shirt. She is the Community Manager of The Turing Way. Her zoom background is blurred but features many books and plants.
- Sarah Gibson: A white femme person with coloured red hair and glasses in their early 30s, wearing a blue t-shirt dress. She is a co-lead of The Turing Way's infrastructure team. Occasionally a large tabby cat will enter her Zoom window.
- Jim Madge: A white man with very short blonde hair and a beard in his early 30s wearing a dark blue t-shirt and headphones. He is a co-lead of The Turing Way's infrastructure team. He is sitting in a room with white walls. Behind him is a shelving unit with a plant, rubik's cube puzzles and some computer/electronic components.
- Brigitta Sipöcz: A woman with a baseball cap and over-ear grey headphones in their late 30s, wearing a grey t-shirt. Sun is shining on her face, and her background features a picture of mountains. She is a co-lead of The Turing Way's infrastructure team.
- Danny Garside: A white masc person with floppy brown hair and a beard in their early 30s, wearing a blue t-shirt. He is one of the co-leads of The Turing Way's infrastructure team. Behind them is some music equipment.

Alejandro Coca-Castro also speaks during the meeting, but does not have his video on. He is the founder of the Environmental Data Science book and a core team member of The Turing Way. Previously, he was a co-lead of the Translation and Localisation team. 

The video features the streaming videos of the people listed above, as well as screenshares of two services used by The Turing Way community: Github and Netlify.
