Hi folks, I'm currently one of the maintainers of the Linode module and currently working on a new one to support the new version 4 of the API. I have some plans for new modules based on this new API all around automating Linode with Ansible. I just saw [https://github.com/ansible/community](https://github.com/ansible/community) and realised that this would probably be more fun if I could pull together a working group for getting this done and supporting the work going forward. There are already some other Linode module maintainers but they've already said that they're moving away from using Linode actively. Any takers? All levels of contributor welcome! Hacking Ansible is surprisingly easy and the contribution process is quite fun. You just need a Linode account and some medium/long-term interest in seeing the thing done. Best, Luke ---

I can spare some cycles on this if needs be. ---

Great! I just read the 'ol 'forming a group' docs over at: > [https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/WORKING-GROUPS.md](https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/WORKING-GROUPS.md) And it would seem that we need 2 to tango. So, would you be OK if I sign you up as a 'founding member' and I'll take care of the rest? We can just try to coordinate some work when we have time via IRC in the beginning and if more come, we can do meetings etc. If that doesn't work, all good. Can just ping by mail or what not. ---

Hi, Luke! I’m a developer at Linode, who has worked on the v3 and v4 Linode to varying extents, and I would also be interested in helping out as a Linode resource. I’ve worked on Ruby, Fog, Go, Vagrant, and Terraform wrappers and I would love to see this Ansible wrapper fleshed out, assisting in what you’ve started. I’m also interested in having the same state across Salt-Cloud, Puppet, and other tools. ---

OK, after some out-of-band mail, we're kicking this off! Community issue: > [https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/365](https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/365) There's a PR that already needs a review if time permits: > [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45902](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/45902) Best, Luke ---

Hi all, This is great stuff! I'll setup the rest after AnsibleFest. If any of you are at AnsibleFest in Austin this week ask any member of Ansible staff to point me out. Kind regards, John "gundalow" Barker
