## Overview
|
|
|
|
## Being invited to the team
|
|
|
|
In June 2018, I made a [masterpost issue](https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/73) including every bug and missing feature from the initial beta release, with a big checklist and organized into areas of interest.

|
|
|
|
Additionally, I reported many bugs and contributed some fixes for some months.
|
|
|
|
dansup decided to invite me to join the Pixelfed organization on Github on January 6, 2019.

## Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
### Issue triage
|
|
|
|
I implemented the current issue tagging system.
|
|
|
|
Issues are assigned tags by the domain they inhabit, a Milestone by rough version target, and a Project by which feature they pertain to.
|
|
|
|
### Design consultancy
|
|
|
|
dansup does a lot of experimenting with building out mock features, and I'm there to tell him which ones are good ideas and which ones are bad ideas.

|

|
|
### Release planning
|
|
|
|
0.x betas each usually focus on one feature and related development around it. When the focus changes, a new 0.x beta will be tagged. We have a few more betas left, for circles, and for polish. If it weren't for me, dansup would have tagged 1.0 already and media attention would have been lackluster. |
