Overview
We need an onboarding issue that a new DevOps CoP member can open for themselves, because right
now one does not exist. devops has templates only for onboarding and offboarding leads, and
those are performed by an existing lead rather than by the newcomer. devops-security has a
self-serve pre-work checklist, but it is specific to that repo and takes the member through
creating a personal AWS account and running Terraform. A person who joins the CoP and is not
going to work on devops-security therefore has no onboarding issue at all, and nothing tracks
whether they ever got set up.
Action Items
Resources/Instructions
- Shape to follow: pre-work-template-devops-security.md
- What
devops has today: onboard-ops-cop-lead.md, offboard-ops-cop-lead.md,
recruit-new-lead.md, post-an-open-role.md, plus the two blank forms — none of them is a
member self-onboarding issue
- The default branch of
devops is master, not main
- This template is what the team-side checklist (sibling issue) will point new members at, so the
two should agree on what the member is asked to do
