I'll paste the official word on what the Janitors do below, but there is 
no application form for starting to become a Janitor. Just pick up a mop 
and start.

I think Dave will agree that posting the shows is pretty much 
streamlined now except for formatting of the show notes. That was 
something that I could not standardise, and it's something Dave has made 
great strides with but help on that would be appreciated. We were also 
thinking about some sort of preview of your shownotes before submission 
might help. If someone want's to pick up that mess feel free to.

If coding, website design, code, audio processing etc is your thing then 
have a look at the list of open tickets on 
https://repo.anhonesthost.net/. All the code and database is up there, 
you just need to create an account for security reasons.

If communication/marketing/management is more your bag, listen to the 
shows and add constructive comment, join the Community news show, attend 
events representing HPR, give/arrange talks/interviews about HPR, 
arrange to order stickers/posters/banners/booth kits etc.

Those are just the mops that I can think of, but feel free to bring your 
own. Anything that betters the community for others is a win.

 From the About page https://hackerpublicradio.org/about.html#governance


    Governance. <https://hackerpublicradio.org/about.html#governance>

HPR is entirely community driven. Policy decisions are proposed and 
discussed on the Mailing list <https://hackerpublicradio.org/maillist>, 
which is open to anyone to join. Mailing list discussions are brought to 
the attention of the listening community on the first Monday of the 
month in the HPR Community News 
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/series/0047.html> show. This show is also 
open to anyone 
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/recording.html#round_table> to 
participate in. The schedule for the Community News shows can be 
downloaded as an iCal calendar 
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/HPR_Community_News_schedule.ics> 
containing recording dates for the next 12 months. A reminder is also 
sent to the mailing list in the week before the recording.

Our hosting is kindly provided to us by Josh Knapp 
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0174.html> from 
AnHonestHost.com <https://anhonesthost.com/hosting/shared-hosting>, and 
he has the last word in issues related to site security. *A changing 
team of volunteers called the "admins" or "Janitors", deal with the day 
to day operation of HPR. Acting as the first point of contact, 
processing the shows, coordinating policy discussions, removing spam, 
updating the website, etc.* They are contactable via the email account 
admin @ HPR. They have no more say over policy than anyone else. Anyone 
who has shown a long term dedication to the project and is trusted by 
the community, can become an admin.
