Foreman Infrastructure

The Foreman project runs a number of different servers for testing, packaging, and continuous integration. This infrastructure is maintained by the Infrastructure Special Interest Group (SIG).

Communication happens using Discourse. It meets regularly and posts meeting notes.

Issues are tracked using GitHub and also visible on a board.

Access

Access to Foreman project infrastructure is available for those who wish to assist in building packages, testing, and building Jenkins jobs.

Fork https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-infra and add your key into the files directory of the users module. Submit a pull request to the infrastructure project and send a post to the Infra SIG discourse thread. One of them can merge your change and add your user in the Foreman web UI.
