Hello, My name is Tristan Marks. I'm a Python developer of modest skill who gets called upon to do system administration work quite often (I guess that makes me DevOps more or less) and I'm looking to get involved in an open source project. A friend of mine expounds on the glory of Ansible so I took a look. I was quite impressed with it, and I feel I have the capability to lend a hand. I've been in the background for a while, playing with a few Ansible examples, and reading the code for the yum module to get an idea of how it's all done. I want to jump in and help look at an issue if I can. I have forked the repository and cloned it, and I was looking at a small issue someone reported earlier: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16197 -- it looks simple (you probably already know what's wrong) but it seems like a good way to get introduced to the workflow to follow when contributing.
According to the community page, I should fork the repository and submit a pull request. However, I am not sure if and how the Submodules pointing to ansible-modules-core and ansible-modules-extras affect the clone, and how I would go about fixing this bug which I would have to guess is in the unarchive module itself. Perhaps I shouldn't go after this one since it's in ansible-modules-core, but in any case, I had the question about submodules and just wanted to show that I've been thinking about it. I've been hanging out in the #ansible IRC channel a bit, too, under the name tfmarks, so feel free to say "hi" if you see me there. Thanks for reading. Hope I can help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
