Committers Guidelines

These are the guidelines for people with commit access to Ansible. Committers are essentially acting as members of the Ansible Core team, although not necessarily as an employee of Ansible and Red Hat. Please read the guidelines before you commit.
These are the guidelines for people with commit privileges on the Ansible GitHub repository. Committers are essentially acting as members of the Ansible Core team, although not necessarily as employees of Ansible and Red Hat. Please read the guidelines before you commit.
These guidelines apply to everyone. At the same time, this ISN'T a process document. So just use good judgement. You've been given commit access because we trust your judgement.
That said, use the trust wisely.

If you abuse the trust and break components and builds, etc., the trust level falls and you may be asked not to commit or you may lose access to do so.

Features, High Level Design, and Roadmap
Features, high-level design, and roadmap
========================================
As a core team member, you are an integral part of the team that develops the :ref:`roadmap <roadmaps>`. Please be engaged, and push for the features and fixes that you want to see. Also keep in mind that Red Hat, as a company, will commit to certain features, fixes, APIs, etc. for various releases. Red Hat, the company, and the Ansible team must get these committed features (etc.) completed and released as scheduled. Obligations to users, the community, and customers must come first. Because of these commitments, a feature you want to develop yourself may not get into a release if it impacts a lot of other parts within Ansible.
Any other new features and changes to high level design should go through the proposal process (TBD), to ensure the community and core team have had a chance to review the idea and approve it. The core team has sole responsibility for merging new features based on proposals.

The Core Team is aware that this can be a difficult process at times. Sometimes, the team breaks the rules: Direct commits, merging their own PRs. This section is a set of guidelines.

The process is critical for any major change, but for little things or getting something done quickly, use your best judgement and make sure people on the team are aware of your work.

Ask and answer questions online
-------------------------------
===============================
There are many forums online where Ansible users ask and answer questions. Reach out and communicate with your fellow Ansible users.
You can find the official :ref:`Ansible communication channels <communication>`.
Participate in your local meetup
--------------------------------
================================
There are Ansible meetups `all over the world <https://www.meetup.com/topics/ansible/>`_. Join your local meetup. Attend regularly. Ask good questions. Volunteer to give a presentation about how you use Ansible.

If you should discover that the bug you're trying to file already exists in an issue, you can help by verifying the behavior of the reported bug with a comment in that issue, or by reporting any additional information.
Review and submit pull requests
-------------------------------
===============================
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 :ref:`Ansible development process <community_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 <https://ansible.sivel.net/pr/byfile.html>`_, 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 :ref:`module maintainer guidelines <maintainers>`.
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 <https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/WORKING-GROUPS.md>`_.
Teach Ansible to others
-----------------------
=======================
We're working on a standardized Ansible workshop called `Lightbulb <https://github.com/ansible/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.
