############################## Developer Onboarding Checklist ############################## *Welcome to Data Management*. This page gives you an overview of the accounts you'll have as a member of DM. .. note:: Some things you can set up yourself, but many accounts require action by your manager. We've given them a handy :ref:`onboarding-tcam-checklist` at the bottom. .. _getting-started-lsst-account: LSST account ============ Your manager will request an LSST single sign-on account for you. This gives you access to: - The internal project website, including travel requests: http://project.lsst.org - Email (for AURA employees): https://mail.lsst.org/owa - The JIRA project management app: http://jira.lsstcorp.org/ - The Confluence wiki: https://confluence.lsstcorp.org - The DocuShare document archive: http://docushare.lsstcorp.org You can always update your LSST password at https://lsstsspc.lsst.org/. Finally, read over the LSST Project's `New Employee Onboarding `_ page. That will get you up to speed with the LSST Project; the rest of this page is specific to DM. .. _getting-started-ncsa: NCSA resources ============== You'll also need account(s) for the LSST infrastructures hosted at NCSA: - Development Servers (`lsst-dev `_) - MySQL Database (`lsst-db `_) - `Nebula OpenStack `_ If you are missing any of these accounts, you can request one by sending the following to ``lsst-account _at_ ncsa.illinois.edu``: - First and last name - Email - Sponsoring LSST manager - LSST-DM subteam or project .. _getting-started-github: GitHub and LSST organizations ============================= If you don't have one already, create an account on https://github.com. Next, ask your T/CAM to add you to the `lsst `__ and `lsst-dm `__ GitHub organizations, along with any relevant team organizations (send your GitHub username to your T/CAM). .. seealso:: - :doc:`/tools/git_setup` page for recommendations on setting up two-factor authentication and credential helpers for GitHub. - :doc:`/tools/git_lfs` page for configuring Git LFS for DM. Community.lsst.org ================== https://community.lsst.org is LSST's public-facing discussion and support forum. Browse the `forum-howto `_ tag to learn how to use the platform. Create an account, and let your T/CAM know your username to get access to internal discussion categories. Slack ===== `Slack `_ is LSST's real-time chat platform. It is used across the project and by external science collaborations. Ask your T/CAM for access to the ‘lsstc’ Slack team. You can access it online at https://lsstc.slack.com, and through `Slack's mobile and desktop apps `__. Slack's `online help `__ is a great way to learn Slack's features. Channels set up specifically for Data Management related discussion have a ‘dm-’ prefix. Some important channels are: - `announce-everyone `__ for project-wide announcements. - `lsst-travel `__ for help with travel on project business. - `lsst-newchannels `__ for notifications of new channels. - `software-dev `__ for anything about writing software. - `dm `__ for general DM discussion. - `dm-square `__ for developer support services. - `dm-jenkins `__ for automatic notifications from our Continuous Integration system. - `dm-tavern `__ for “water cooler” type talk. - `dm-tea-time `__ for more serious but still non-LSST conversation. - `dm-admin-support `__ to contact DM's administrator. Your team may also have specific channels, and you can send private messages to individuals. Google account for Hangouts =========================== Many small meetings are conducted on `Google Hangouts `_, which requires you to have an account with https://google.com. The meeting convener will pass around a Hangouts room URL to attendees. Mailing lists ============= We don't use mailing lists for conversations, but they're still used for notifications about :ref:`RFCs ` and conversations happening on https://community.lsst.org. You should be subscribed to these lists as soon as you get an :ref:`LSST acccount `: - `dm-devel `_ - `dm-announce `_ - `dm-staff `_ (internal list) DM calendars ============ DM maintains calendars of meetings and staff travel on Google. To get access, send your Google username to our admin in `#dm-admin-support `__ on Slack. Checklist for hires =================== In summary, here are the things you can do to get started: #. Send a profile photo to your T/CAM for our `team page `__. #. Send your GitHub username to your T/CAM. #. Send your https://community.lsst.org username to your T/CAM. #. Follow emailed directions to set up your LSST account (including email), NCSA account, and Slack account. #. Once you're on Slack, send your Google username to `#dm-admin-support `__ to access DM calendars. .. _onboarding-tcam-checklist: Checklist for T/CAMs ==================== Here's what T/CAMs need to do to get their new hire started: #. Fill out the `Project onboarding form `__. - There's no need to upload a photo to DocuShare, see the next step instead. - Under "User should belong to which Mailing Lists," add ``dm-devel`` and ``dm-announce``. IT automatically adds DM hires to ``dm-staff``. #. Add the new hire to the DM Team Google spreadsheet with time allocation information. #. Ask your new hire for a profile photo and add it to https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/DM/The+Team. #.

Add the hire as a member of these Community forum groups: - `LSST `__. - `LSSTDM `__. #. Give the hire's email address to a Slack administrator: `@brianv0 `__, `@jonathansick `__, and `@frossie `__ can make Slack accounts. .. _onboarding-admin-checklist: Checklist for the DM Admin ========================== Here's what the awesome DM admin does: #. After the onboarding form is received, send a welcome email to the hire with bullet points about the travel profile, Google calendar access, ContactDB info, and other miscellaneous project into. CC this to the supervisor. #. Add a photo to the DM staff gallery, if not already done by the T/CAM. #. Notify the Weekly Digest editor and travel coordinator. #.
