add maintainers?

[michaelglass]

Hey there! This repo is broadly used and has a lot of activity. What say you to adding a few maintainers?

[routelastresort]

👍

[martinisoft]

Hey @michaelglass yeah I would agree there. Been slacking lately and finally carving out time to give this some more attention. Would be up to @fnichol there on adding maintainers.

[miketheman]

On this note, how about releasing a newer version than 0.0.4 to the community site?

[martinisoft]

Since we've got the namespace available, the plan is to cut a 0.9.2 release from the current master. The future of the cookbook will start with an LWRP refactor #235 that drops the rvm gem dependency entirely. Hope to start clearing up a lot of these issues and get this cookbook back on track once again.

[martinisoft]

As far as I can tell its just myself and @fnichol here so it would be up to him to add additional maintainers. I have deferred a lot of the decision making to him since its his cookbook.

[michaelglass]

appreciate the work in general, @martinisoft

[martinisoft]

Thanks @michaelglass I'm sure the new year will bring some renewed effort into getting a lot of these issues resolved.

[fnichol]

I so agree with this one 😄

Going forward into the new year I'd love to transition maintenance and development of this cookbook to those in the community who use it day in and day out. @martinisoft bravely stepped forward and I couldn't be happier for the help (thank you, thank you, thank you).

It looks like we (finally) have a solution for moving the codebase forward in a sustainable way that should survive new and different upstream behaviors in future releases.

If @martinisoft and I can get a fixed release out with a general direction set then we should be ready for other members to come on board with commit bits. Sound reasonable?

[RKushnir]

Is this repo still maintained? Looks like there's been only cosmetic changes to the code lately.

[martinisoft]

@RKushnir we'll be making some big changes in the next couple of weeks. I highlighted them in a blog post

[martinisoft]

Short answer, yes there will be maintainers added soon past the 1.0 release.

[RKushnir]

@martinisoft thanks for reply, and the blog is quite interesting!
