Review and submit pull requests ---------------------------- -As you become more familiar with how Ansible works, you should be able to help -LINK: sivel/prbyfiles -LINK: docs/community/development_process.rst +As you become more familiar with how Ansible works, you may be able to fix issues or develop new features yourself. If you think you've got a solution to a bug you've found in Ansible, or if you've got a new feature that you've written and would like to share with millions of Ansible users, read all about the `Ansible development process ` to learn how to get your code accepted into Ansible. + +Another good way to help is to review pull requests that other Ansible users have submitted. The Ansible community keeps a full list of `open pull requests by file `, so if there's a particular module or plug-in that particularly interests you, you can easily keep track of all the relevant new pull requests and provide testing or feedback. Become a module maintainer -------------------------- +Once you've learned about the development process and have contributed code to a particular module, we encourage you to become a maintainer of that module. There are hundreds of different modules in Ansible, and the vast majority of them are written and maintained entirely by members of the Ansible community. + +To learn more about the responsibilities of being an Ansible module maintainer, please read our `module maintainer guidelines `. Join a working group -------------------- +Working groups are a way for Ansible community members to self-organize around particular topics of interest. We have working groups around various topics. To join or create a working group, please read the `Ansible working group guidelines `. + Teach Ansible to others ----------------------- -https://github.com/ansible/lightbulb +We're working on a standardized Ansible workshop called `Lightbulb ` that can provide a good hands-on introduction to Ansible usage and concepts. + +Social media +------------ + +If you like Ansible and just want to spread the good word, feel free to share on your social media platform of choice, and let us know by using @ansible or #ansible. We'll be looking for you.
