We're the Ansible Community Team and we'll be around throughout the entire hackathon ([our planned schedule](https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/YB1Z2ZiIVZOC59teLR72wfia/)). We'll mostly be working on making sure things are working for everyone else. ## `community.network` Collection Hi, I'm [Deric](https://github.com/dericcrago), I'm one of the maintainers of the [`community.network` collection](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network). We'll be around throughout the entire hackathon ([`community.network` schedule](https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/+rLidUMvsByHjVxCXYnaipdd/)). List of things we'll be working on (in order): - Fixing [CI sanity errors](https://dev.azure.com/ansible/community.network/_build?definitionId=32&_a=summary) - Reviewing [PRs](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pulls) - Triaging [Issues](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/issues) ## antsibull Who: Toshio (abadger1999) What: https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull I'll be working on the tool which is used to build the ansible package from ansible-core and the collections during this hackfest. The tool also generates the plugin docs for docs.ansible.com. Easy things that will get worked on: * changing ansible-base references to ansible-core (edits to comments, docstrings, and renames of variable names). * Fixing the plugin template to remove hardcoded "module", substituting $plugin_type instead. * Add a file with collection versions to the ansible tarball: https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/issues/156 Harder things that will be worked on if someone is interested in getting started during the hackathon but doing continuing work after: * Adding plugin attributes to the generated documentation. (PR mostly done, mockups and templates to implement them needed) * Account for different version numbers for ansible-core and ansible in the ansible package build. ## Basic collection code improvements **Who:** Andrei Klychkov GitHub: Andersson007 IRC/Matrix: andersson007_ *"Hi there! I'm a maintainer of several Ansible collections. Me or other developers will be happy to help you with fixing these very simple issues during the hackathon. See [our planned schedule](https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/YB1Z2ZiIVZOC59teLR72wfia/)."* **What:** **(DONE by Honiix on Matrix)** https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxysql/issues/68 **Why:** This is a basic refactoring easyfix issue that would be good for first-time contributors. This does NOT require any knowledge of ProxySQL. **Essense:** Moving a function from each module to a library, then load it from there instead of using the same copy everywhere. PR https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxysql/pull/78 **What:** https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3353 **Why:** Misc doc examples formatting easyfixes. Does NOT require any technology-specific knowledge. **Important:** this can be done with separate PRs to let at least **four** folks train their skills. So please pick up one file to fix and let us know which one.l **What [NOT VACANT, SOLVED]:** **Why:** These are doc examples formatting easyfixes. Does NOT require any technology-specific knowledge. **Important:** this can be done with separate PRs to let **two** folks train their skills. So please pick up one file to fix and let us know which one.
