Raku-Steering-Council VS Sparrow6

Should be https://github.com/Raku/Raku-Steering-Council/blob/main/minutes/20230429.md

There is a link in the announcement itself. But since the program just have started there are no projects on the list yet. For now I'd suggest asking on #raku IRC channel.

The Raku community decided recently to setup a steering council.

The Raku Community has a Steering Council and a Code of Conduct, and a Community Affairs Team (CAT). This CAT has issued a ban for this person.

A correction: Liz has been entirely supportive the Raku Steering Council's efforts to establish our Code of Conduct[0] and to enforce that Code.

(I know that part of this comment is referring to events that took place years ago; I don't have any firsthand knowledge about those events but want to correct the record about the present)

However, as Liz said, the Raku Conf is being organized by Andrew, so he is (appropriately!) the only one who gets a vote – he's doing the work, and so he gets to make the calls. The RSC's role is limited to making sure that participants follow the Raku Code of Conduct at the conference – that is, we have a purely support function.

Raku CAT has finished investigating the case. An action has been taken and a statement made: https://github.com/Raku/Raku-Steering-Council/blob/main/announcements/20210630.md

Please pay attention if you want to dig really deep )) , then underlying SparrowCI itself is just a transpiler from YAML ( plus some more features ) into Sparrow DSL which is documented here - https://github.com/melezhik/sparrow6 but you probably don’t need that part if you are only interested in writing pipelines …

As an addition to what's been already said, you might distribute your personal libraries as Sparrow plugins and spin up a private Sparrow repo for that - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/repository.md , it should not be very hard and by they way Sparrow is well integrated with zen by using Rakufile mechanism - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/development.md#package-managers , so one can distribute any ref modules (including taken from git , not eco system ) by just including Rakufile into one's plugin ...

I think alternatives to Ansible such as Rex and Sparrow have "fake it and show me the commands" modes — but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not sure if there is a full fledged web framework for Raku just yet, but one of its claims to fame is Sparrow. It's declarative configuration management akin to Puppet, Chef, or Ansible.

Sparrow an automation framework, and its modules

During this stage Bird will use prepared task checks rules (check file - /root/.bird/285892/state.check]) and run them against the output. Bird will use Sparrow task check DSL to do so.

1) Sparrow - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6 Raku Automation Framework ( alternative to ansible )

Sparrow is a wonderful tool to automate @daily devops tasks. Recently I've dropped a new plugin called k8s-deployment-check to verify k8s deployments. It lets you with a little bit of Raku code effectively test entire k8s infrastructure, including k8s deployments.

Could be added pretty easily, Sparrow has cpan-package primitive for for that.
