Hey @Harish-b-13 👋 , looking on to the page /press/index.js, is this a type of article/blog on the website to inform users about Press?

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @akshatnema , Kindly please go through this conversation (initial ones, where @Barbanio explained about this). Just to give a short explanation, (given by Barbanio)

The idea is to make it easier to access the information most relevant to journalists in one tab.

it's very common for any company, enterprise, or project to have a press kit, it is very important in terms of public relations and communication. It's a document that gathers all the relevant information of the project (mission, objectives, values, etc.), it could be said that it is the letter of introduction.

And there will be two tabs for this: press releases (annual report kinda thing and compilation of news) and press kit (the document with general info about AsyncAPI Initiative which Álex and Barbino worked on)

I think, better people to answer about this would be: @derberg and @Barbanio

Thank you😀

[Barbanio]

Hi @akshatnema! Yes, it's exactly what @Harish-b-13 explains in his comment 🙂

[akshatnema]

@Harish-b-13 @Barbanio Yeah, I completely got it about the information we need to show on the page, but my suggestion is regarding UI. If we aren't implementing any functionality and want the information to be conveyed in a good way, I think you can use the format just like blogs. Make a .md files for the information that need to be conveyed and it will automatically get converted to JSX along with the TOC to enable good referencing. But if your plan is to have some good functionalities like Contact (mail) need to be added later, the present implementation is brilliant.

What I can see right now is a page full of important information and headings, just like the articles in AsyncAPI. I hope that you can understand my concern and give your views regarding this.

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @akshatnema

So AFAIK, in future, press will be having Press-releases, compilation of news/articles and Press kit. In my opinion, it would be better if it is .js format so that we can have more flexibility in the layout.

@derberg @Barbanio Please let me know your thoughts regarding this 😀

Thank you😀

[Barbanio]

@akshatnema @Harish-b-13 I have no idea about the technical side, but I think it makes sense to do it the way that allows more options in the future.

[derberg]

actually, I think long term if we extend it to something more than just one page, to make it easier to contribute, .md. But it is ok to do .js first. No strong opinion though

[derberg]

my only concern is the content for the press page, as it is a kind of mix of press and about or is it a standard now that about pages are not created and all is under press?

[derberg]

examples:

• about https://www.postman.com/company/about-postman/
• press https://www.postman.com/company/press-media/

so part for example about governance is great, but shouldn't it be in About, along with history?

[Barbanio]

so part for example about governance is great, but shouldn't it be in About, along with history?

Yes @derberg , I think you are right. This makes sense.

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @derberg @Barbanio , have removed Open Governance Model and history from press page as suggested and moved Open Governance Model to about page. But, I didnt add history to about page as it is already there.

Please check once and give your suggestions

Thank you😀

[Barbanio]

@Harish-b-03 This looks great. Thank you very much! 🙏🙂

I have a question. Finally, will it be modified the maintainers' section?

[Harish-b-03]

@Barbanio as @derberg suggested, we have to change the maintainers' section. That is pending till now.

But I dont know much about the works going on in AsyncAPI, as I joined just a month before. Maybe if u have any idea or if you could help me with that, would be very helpful😀.

@derberg how we are going to update the about page. Do you have any plan?.

@derberg @Barbanio I think, press page is completed. is there any thing have to be changed. please let me know

Thank you😀

[Barbanio]

@Harish-b-03 Of course, I will be happy to work with you on this 🙂

@derberg, the TSC is made up of maintainers, but all maintainers are in the TSC? Where can I check this?

Any special approach to writing this section?

[derberg]

@Barbanio not all maintainers are TSC members, it is not obligatory. You can become a CODEOWNER for one repo and not join TSC like for example guys from https://github.com/asyncapi/tck/blob/master/CODEOWNERS.

We do not have yet one place that lists all maintainers, just TSC members. Would be solved with https://github.com/asyncapi/.github/issues/47#issuecomment-1046222917 but not selected for AsyncAPI Mentorship

[Barbanio]

How about something like this ⬇️ to update the maintainers' section?

Committers (also known as maintainers) are the decision-makers at the repository/project level. They regularly contribute to the project and are invited by other maintainers to manage the repository, have more privileges, and approve pull requests.

The committers rule the repository, but for issues that go beyond that, there is a Technical Steering Committee (TSC). This committee comprises all the maintainers who voluntarily want to be part of this committee, thus taking responsibility for overseeing the initiative.

You can check the list of maintainers belonging to the TSC here.

[derberg]

How about something like this ⬇️ to update the maintainers' section?

LOVE IT ❤️ I would just not add the last paragraph about growth but just linked to TSC list.

also Maintainers (also known as committers) should be Committers (also known as maintainers)

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @Barbanio , hope you are doing great!!.. I wanted to ask you that if you need any sort of help for the /about page please let me know. I will be happy to help you

[Barbanio]

Thank you for your feedback @derberg, I have modified the text with your suggestions.

@Harish-b-03, thanks for your willingness :) I would like to have your opinion on this text for the maintainers' section.

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @Barbanio , Its perfect. Let me include it in the 'about' page.

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @derberg @Barbanio @alequetzalli , I have added a short Intro section in About page, which I got from this blog post. Please have a look at it.

I think both Press and About are completed. Eagerly waiting for your suggestions 😀 .

Thank you

[Barbanio]

@derberg I think it makes sense. This information was written some time ago and some press data is out of date.

If it is decided to continue with press and about, I think it would be interesting to remove the AsyncAPI, in numbers section, since even if it is updated it will always be out of date soon.

[Harish-b-03]

Heyy @alequetzalli :grinning: , I have made changes in AsyncAPI in numbers section. please review it.

I have resolved and made all the changes requested Lukasz . @alequetzalli If you review this section, then I can move the contents to about page and make press page to list only the links to Press-releases and articles.

@alequetzalli I request you to review the about page once again, after i merged the contents.

Thank you :smile:

[Barbanio]

It looks good. Great job @Harish-b-03!

[akshatnema]

@Harish-b-03 @derberg I saw the /about route and About page that is to be added via this PR. My only concern with this is we are not giving any link to this page using Navbar and it is only liked via Footer About link. I think we may lose the audience for this page as we aren't specifying any section to the press page neither in the Homepage nor in Navbar. Should we add an option inside any dropdown for press page?
