Consider merging efforts with jorhett/puppet-mcollective?

[jorhett]

I am wondering if you'd be interested in merging efforts with me and the mcollective module I'm maintaining.

Reasons:

• more eyes, more people better
• supports Puppet 4 and IPv6 and I can help maintain that
• handles and automates depolyment of all supported security models (TLS+RSA, ActionPolicy, etc)
• update to Learning MCollective book is being worked on, and I could highlight this project instead of my own repo

I'm not intending to toss it at you and walk away. I'm talking about an active integration with a major version number change, after which point I'd be an active maintainer along with you.

It would also add support for the sshkey security provider.

[jyaworski]

I'm a fan. I'll volunteer to actively work with you on the merge. Please open a PR.

@jhg03a status?

[jorhett]

@igalic I'm sorry I got the invite from you to join, but then got copyedits back from O'Reilly and have been buried. Can you resend?

I am also thinking that perhaps we should work on the merged module as voxpopuli/mcollective so that we can eventually clear up that source of confusion. Thoughts?

@jorhett resent invitation

Is there anything I can do to help with this? I'd rather not switch mcollective modules at this point, but we have a big puppet 4 upgrade coming and currently we're blocked by this single module, which is a shame.

@jorhett anything needed?

[jyaworski]

Indeed, ping @jorhett. I'm about to update to puppet 4 in my environment.

[jorhett]

Sorry, it's just been time. I ended up being tied up with LP4 book until March 19th and then had a family emergency pull me out of town. I just got back and caught up with some crisis and hope to start work on it this week.

My module does work with Puppet4 today if you're in need right away. I'm going to provide a transition path forward for users of both modules to the combined one.

Thanks! If there's anything we can do help, let me know.
