Axim Request Process

...

We take requests viathe New Issue portal on the openedx/tcrilAxim-engineering repository. tCRIL’s Axim’s rotating “on-call” engineer will triage your issue within one business day during their own working hours. They will try to give you a time estimate for completion. They may do the work themselves or delegate it to someone else. Note that tCRIL Axim does not generally provide support on weekends, holidays, the early morning, or the evening (~US-Eastern timezone).

...

  • Option 1: Transfer. This moves the entire repository, including PRs and issues, into the openedx organization. GitHub will forward links from the original location to the new openedx location indefinitely, provided that a repo of the same name is not created at the original location. There are two ways we can instrument the transfer:

    1. You add the tCRIL Axim on-call engineer to your repository as an outside collaborator with admin rights (you do not need to make the tCRIL Axim engineer a member of your GitHub organization). Then, they will transfer the repository into the openedx organization.

    2. You and the tCRIL Axim on-call engineer get on a screenshare. The on-call engineer will temporarily grant you admin access to the entire openedx organizion. This will allow you to transfer your repository into the openedx organization. The on-call engineer will then revoke your admin rights to the openedx organization.

  • Option 1: Fork. This makes a parallel copy of the repository in the openedx organization. The original copy will still exist, along with any issues and PRs. GitHub will not forward links from the original location to the new openedx location. tCRIL Axim on-call can do this without needing to be granted any special permissions.

...

  • invite a user to Confluence?

  • add or remove GitHub permissions from a user?

  • change the configuration of a GitHub application?

  • add a new github application?

  • remove someone from the openedx GitHub organization?

  • help you out with anything else?

File an issue using the tCRIL Axim Engineering board above, selecting the most appropriate template. Please provide reasoning for your change and as much supplemental detail as possible.
