Initiate the Linode working group

[decentral1se]

Let me know what else you need! I'm working from this guide.

---

WORKING GROUP NAME: Linode

WORKING GROUP PURPOSE:
This work group is for developing, maintaining and supporting Linode automation modules in Ansible.

AT LEAST TWO INITIAL WORKING GROUP MEMBERS:
IRC: decentral1se / GitHub: @lwm
IRC: marques / GitHub: @displague

---

As a result of proposal over at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/xTnkhYz9TNw

[decentral1se]

I know that @zbal and @InTheCloudDan are also listed as module maintainers but not sure if they're still invested in working Linode much lately. You're both also very welcome to join this effort as well.

[InTheCloudDan]

Thanks but I haven't done much with Ansible and Linode recently. More than happy to give up the reins if there's enough people to be active with it from here.

[displague]

Per the instructions in the guide, I believe the IRC channel is set up. The "/staff" group doesn't seem to exist though.

!*@ansible/staff/* is not registered.

Hi,
I can assist with whatever needs doing when I return after AnsibleFest.

If you look #ansible I think we need those permissions, though without freenode staff.

If anyone is at AnsibleFest say hi. We have a Contributors Summit on Thursday in Austin as well.

[gundalow]

Also update "how to create a Working Group" process and ensure we have a bit about updating the Bot to notify issues

[decentral1se]

Not at AnsibleFest but next time! Thanks for picking this one up.

Happy to improve documentation as I moved through the process.

[gundalow]

I'll do this, currently updating #372 so I document the procedure.

Are @lwm @InTheCloudDan @displague the initial Working Group leads, anyone I've missed?

[decentral1se]

Solid, thanks @gundalow! Yes, that is the inital group. If anyone else comes long, we'll ask them to replace you @InTheCloudDan, since that seems to suit you.

[InTheCloudDan]

@lwm sounds good to me, happy to help when and where I can. I don't have a lot of time to devote to it currently so I won't mind at all if someone that can dedicate more becomes available.

[decentral1se]

Submitted ansible/ansible#46635 @displague! You'll have some new special powers.

[gundalow]

Initial docs added in #373

Feel free to raise PR to update that.

You will shortly receive an invite to ansible-community which will give you commit powers to github.com/ansible/community

[decentral1se]

Final call out @InTheCloudDan (for now :)) - what is your IRC handle? Do you lurk? Needed for the group documentation. You don't need to take much responsbility there but still good to have.

[gundalow]

So you now have:

• #ansible-linode
• https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Linode - You can create sub paged uner that, see how Windows is done
• https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/group-linode/README.md

[InTheCloudDan]

@lwm same username on freenode as here :) I joined the channel.

[decentral1se]

Solid! Right, I'm going to close this one off, thanks all 💯
