Call for Nominations: Second Administrator

[huwaireb]

👋 Hey everyone,

The Typst Community organization has been around for two years now (since 2023!), working to support and grow Typst-related projects. Since the community’s grown a lot, we think it’s a good time to add another organization owner. Mainly for bus factor, but also just to help keep things running smoothly. After some discussion on Discord, it feels like the right move and the right time.

Nomination Requirements

• You should be regularly active and genuinely involved somewhere in the Typst community, not just popping in every once in a while or only asking for help. This could mean being active on the forums, Discord, or anywhere else Typst folks gather. Stuff like answering questions, maintaining projects, translating, or helping out in other ways all counts.
• Please follow the Code of Conduct for both our community and the Typst Discord.

Election Process

• This thread will be open for 4 weeks from today (June 18, 2025) through July 16, 2025.
• Only self-nominations: if you’re interested, just reply here and tell us why you think you’d be a good administrator!
• After 4 weeks, whoever has the most +1 reactions on their nomination is elected.
• Feel free to ask nominees questions under their post if you want to know more about them or their plans.

Responsibilities

• Onboarding new members to the organization
• Facilitating project transfer requests
• Facilitating maintainership updates for all repositories when needed
• Handling org-level settings (like updating team permissions or GitHub settings)
• Moderating community spaces managed by the organization (e.g. discussions and issue trackers) and enforcing the CoC
• Reviewing and approving new repository proposals
• Acting as a point of contact for external collaborations or partnerships
• Helping resolve conflicts or disagreements within the community when they come up

If you have any other questions or want to chat privately, you can reach out by email at admin@typst.community, post on the Discussion Board, or find us on the official Typst Discord in CONTRIBUTORS > 💬 forge > Community.

If you’re interested, go ahead and nominate yourself below!

I would like to self-nominate and I hope this message serve as inspiration for others to do so too.

Here's why I think I'd be a good fit:

• I'm fairly active in the community, mostly on the official discord, but also on some Typst issues.
• I maintain or help maintain tools and packages such as hydra (primary maintainer), subpar (primary maintainer), tytanic (primary maintainer), and valkyrie (secondary maintainer).
• I have moderated and still moderate some small-to-medium-sized discords as an administrator.

If you have questions about me, feel free to ask by replying to this post or in private by emailing me (see bio).
