Onboarding checklists

Onboarding to build-test issue checklist

  • Email the new member and obtain their public GPG key
  • Add them to the test group in nodejs-private/secrets
  • Add them to the nodejs/build and nodejs-private/build GitHub teams
  • Before the meeting the Onboardee is to:
  • Schedule a meeting with the member to:
    • Walk them through the infrastructure and what other members do
    • Explain how to decrypt nodejs/secrets
    • Practice SSH access to the organization's machines. See ssh.md.
    • Practice running the jenkins/worker/create.yml playbook on one of the machines in the test CI cluster
    • Answer any questions they may have
  • PR changes to README.md to add the member to build-test

At first all members are added to nodejs/build-test. Members may be granted further permissions and access as needed by the working group, see GOVERNANCE.
