Onboarding checklist for Thomas Shedd

[danswick]

Welcome to the team @{GitHub Username needed}!

@danswick will be your onboarding buddy and can help you if you get stuck on any of the steps in the checklist below. There's also a separate checklist that your onboarding buddy will tackle!

Here's a checklist to get you started and to make sure you've got access to the right things!

• Review the project README in Google Drive
• Join the Slack channels in the project README
• Review our process documentation
• Get access to our GitHub repositories

  • If you're not already a member of BOTH the GSA and GSA-TTS GitHub organizations, follow the process outlined here, requesting access to the appropriate org(s). When it's time to send the mail, look up the Product Lead (see the staffing list) then start with this template, mailing from your GSA email address:

    To: [email protected]
    Cc: [the product lead]
    Subject: GSA and GSA-TTS GitHub organization membership
    Body:
    [Edit the following text to put in your GitHub username and your GSA email address, then remove this instruction text.]
    Please add my GitHub account (https://github.com/myusername) to the following GitHub organizations:
    - https://github.com/GSA
    - https://github.com/GSA-TTS
    
    I will be working on the FAC project:
    - https://github.com/GSA-TTS/FAC
    
    I have cc'd the FAC Product Lead for awareness.
        
    Thank you!
    

    • (Note this step could take a few days; humans handle these requests.)

  • Once you are added to the GSA-TTS org, ask the person(s) with the "Maintainer" role to add you to the FAC-team team. This will grant you read/write access to our repositories.

• Familiarize yourself with Python, Django, and Cloud.gov—all tools used in this project.
  • If you need to catch up on the latest in Python development, check out the Python developer's guide.
  • Work through the Django Tutorial and writing your first Django app.
  • If it's not already set up on your machine & account, enable commit signing. Also see the pinned messages in the Slack development channel.
• Get set up for local development so you can start contributing
• Review NIST SP 800-161 Rev.1 on supply chain risk management. Reply to this onboarding ticket in a comment when you have completed this review.
• Make sure you have a login.gov account and have logged into the FAC application at least once.
