Onboarding New Tech Working Group Team Members

Up to: Tech Working Group

How to set new members up with TWG

There are a few places you'll need to be granted access to start your onboarding process to join the Tech Working Group. These first 3 steps require help from an existing TWG member.

1. Setup a user@social.coop forwarding email address
2. A git.coop account
3. Group Membership in the "social.coop/tech" project

Once you have those things you can continue to the next step of creating two merge requests (same idea as a "pull request" on Github):

1. Add your SSH public key to the ansible repo, in roles/server/files
2. Add your GPG public key to the pass repo, in the keys folder
3. In the second merge request, add the email address associated with your GPG key to the .gpg-id file.

Next you will need an existing TWG member to post a poll to Loomio about granting your server access.

Finally, someone with existing access will need to re-encrypt pass files with your new GPG key, granting you access to the infrastructure credentials.

You can get an overview of all the infrastructure using pass:

   cd ~/.password-store/social.coop
   pass

To access any given pass secret:

   pass show social.coop/path/to/secret

One gotcha: wiki actually refers to join.social.coop.
