Welcome to the team @gsa-suk!

@sambodeme will be your onboarding buddy and can help you if you get stuck on any of the steps in the checklist below. There's also a separate checklist that your onboarding buddy will tackle!

For you

Here's a checklist to get you started and to make sure you've got access to :all-the-things:!

• Review the project README in Google Drive
• Join the Slack channels in the project README
• Review our process documentation
• Get access to our GitHub repositories

  • If you're not already a member of BOTH the GSA and GSA-TTS GitHub organizations, follow the process outlined here, requesting access to the appropriate org(s). When it's time to send the mail, look up the Product Lead (see the staffing list) then start with this template, mailing from your GSA email address:

    To: gsa-github.support@gsa.gov
    Cc: [the product lead]
    Subject: GSA and GSA-TTS GitHub organization membership
    Body:
    [Edit the following text to put in your GitHub username and your GSA email address, then remove this instruction text.]
    Please add my GitHub account (https://github.com/myusername) to the following GitHub organizations:
    - https://github.com/GSA
    - https://github.com/GSA-TTS
    
    I will be working on the FAC project:
    - https://github.com/GSA-TTS/FAC
    
    I have cc'd the FAC Product Lead for awareness.
        
    Thank you!
    

    • (Note this step could take a few days; humans handle these requests.)

  • Once you are added to the GSA-TTS org, ask the person(s) with the "Maintainer" role to add you to the FAC-team team. This will grant you read/write access to our repositories.

For engineers, also...

• Familiarize yourself with Python, Django, and Cloud.gov—all tools used in this project.
  • If you need to catch up on the latest in Python development, check out the Python developer's guide.
  • Work through the Django Tutorial and writing your first Django app.
  • If you're not already, get setup with Cloud.gov
    • Once your account exists, make a PR to add yourself to the list of developers with access to our spaces.
  • Practice deploying a python application to Cloud.gov using the Cloud.gov command line interface (CLI): https://cloud.gov/docs/getting-started/your-first-deploy/.
  • Survey existing TTS projects which use Django+Cloud.gov like: Tock and the DOJ CRT Portal.
• Get set up for local development so you can start contributing

For your onboarding buddy

Note: If you're not able to do any of these yourself, you're still responsible for making sure that the right person makes them happen! (@jadudm is the backup buddy for this ticket, and can take care of any permissions-related work as needed.)

• Add to the FAC-team@GSA.gov Google Group
• Add to standing meeting invites (should happen automatically via addition to the Google Group membership)

For engineers, also...

• Add as a member of the FAC group in New Relic (@GSA-TTS/fac-admins can do this)

Issues faced during onboarding with 'local development':

1. Updating environment - Additional steps had to be added to ~/.bash_profile

eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

2. Docker compose build - I have a Mac with Apple M1 - AMD64. The 'docker compose build' cannot succeed on this. The failure message indicates that node v16 is required and also npm v9.7.1 is required.

For node, changed 14 to 16 in the following line of Dockerfile.
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash - && \

Replaced 'RUN npm install' with the following:
RUN npm install -g npm@9.7.1
RUN apt-get install -yqq chromium
RUN npm i run-p
