Hey folks,

I took a few days to digest this information but I wanted to share my summarization of all the thoughts here so far! Please let me know if I missed anything; either way, this will be a talking point for future JuliaHealth meet-ups so thank you all so much for the commentary! Here is the outline:

* * *

### Structure Organization for Sustainability

- Limit dependency on any one person – Jakob Nissen, George Datseris

- All repositories and shared documents should have write access for multiple people, ensuring continuity even if some contributors are unavailable – Jakob Nissen, Guillaume Dalle

- Furthermore, packages should be designed with longevity in mind, as maintenance can be a significant challenge – Jakob Nissen, Georgia Datseris

- Build trust with frequent contributors – George Datseris

### Organization Guidelines

- Think about what is the criteria (such as reviews or approvals) before action on a pull request is taken – Guillaume Dalle

- Setting clear timeframes for feedback should be established – Guillaume Dalle

- Allocate review time (around 70-80%) to evaluating design aspects, logical connections between input-output arguments, and documentation of features – George Datseris

- Adapt the intensity of a PR review based on its potential impact to a package – George Datseris

### Managing Package Development

- Use GitHub issues to outline development roadmaps for a given package – Guillaume Dalle

- Use labels to prioritize GitHub issues as important and relevant to a given package – Guillaume Dalle

- Prioritize discussions within GitHub issues to foster transparency and consolidate discussions in location – George Datseris

- Maintain source code simplicity – George Datseris

### Community Outreach and Communication

- Avoid making promises about deliverables or timelines – Jakob Nissen

- Community calls for triage discussions or long-term package orientation can help build community – Guillaume Dalle

- Actively invite individuals to join the organization – George Datseris

Hopefully this could be a useful reference for future Julia or otherwise open source organizations! 😃
