Get Contributor List for TSC Election

This how-to is used on a yearly basis to generate the list of contributors who are eligible for the TSC election.

Prerequisites

Step-by-step guide

1. Create a Google Sheet to contain the election contribution list

   1. Copy last year's election contribution list to a new Google sheet

   2. Add a new tab to for any new projects and their maintainers
   3. Update the new sheet to reflect changes to existing project's maintainers
   4. Remove any tabs that are no longer applicable
   5. If a "Labs" and "Others Repo" tab exists, remove them
   6. Update the formula on master to reflect any new and/or deleted sheets

2. Run the get_contributors.sh script specifying the --since argument. The --since argument should specify the last date that was used when for the last TSC election roles.

   sh get_contributors.sh --since 08/01/2017 --all

   This step will create a folder named /tmp/hyperledger-contributors-<datetime> with a file named contributors.csv that contains all of the contributors for the Hyperledger projects and Hyperledger Labs specified in repositories.sh.

3. Import contributors.csv file into the contributors tab (replacing any existing content). Make sure that you are on the sheet named ‘Contributors’.

5. Use the comma as the delimiter

6. Double check that you are on the sheet named ‘Contributors’.
