The group passed 1 proposal including to expand developer in residence work for p5.js-website maintenance, with a focus on usability and accessibility.
The group passed 2 proposals, inviting 2 microgrants on p5.strands development.
The group considered a proposal for a microgrant on “Beginner-Centered Coding+Poetry Examples” and decided we need more information about contributors and direct need for p5.js 2.x tutorial development. Suggestion to take a more community-driven approach to tutorial development.
The group agreed to publish average hours per month that all current staff (lead, mentors, developers in residence) work on maintaining p5.js code repositories. The publication is pending an update on the processingfoundation.org website that introduces developers in residence program.
The group approved work scope for 7 paid positions for January 2026 - June 2026, including microgrants for:
- p5.Vector improvements
- p5.strands examples
- p5.js 2.0 transition tutorial
And developer in residence positions in the areas of:
- website maintenance
- website accessibility
- p5.strands and graphics
- p5.sound.js
The group also discussed how to make developers in residence and microgrant recipients more transparently listed on the p5.js website.
The committee discussed whether a top-level global mode, removing the need for setup(), increases access for beginners. No consensus was reached as that topic involves consideration of technical trade-offs, documentation, and communication of updates. Dave proposed creating occasional longer meetings to be able to give more careful consideration to issues like this.
(1) The committee agrees to publish the SRC Guideline in the public p5.js-src repository, along with records of membership and public decision notes.
(2) The committee adds a new section to the guideline on adding committee members (2.4), and begins the internal nomination process to add 3 additional SRC members.
The committee adopts the p5.js Shared Responsibility Committee Guideline v1.0, with the composition, which is based on the p5.js 2.0 core committee governance approach:
- Amy B. Woodman (PF team)
- Dave Pagurek (p5.js community)
- Kenneth Lim (p5.js community)
- Kit Kuksenok (chairperson)
