Anyone who’s been in the chef community for a while has felt the pain of abandoned cookbooks. And in fact, I’ve found myself unable to maintain the ones I care about.

So I’ve created a github organization to own my repos. I’ve already invited a number of people, and would love to invite /you/.  
[https://github.com/chef-brigade](https://github.com/chef-brigade) [https://github.com/chef-brigade](https://github.com/chef-brigade)

For now, this community is low ceremony. If there’s anything you’d like the chef brigade to do, please let me know!

## At the moment, communications should occur on this list (chef@) or irc (#chef) or the issue pages for the respective repos. Feel free to contact me directly.

Does anyone on Chef brigade have the ability to help me with iscsi and  
multipath cookbooks? Being able to maintain those well requires  
access to specialized storage hardware to test configuration against.  
Since storage hardware is something I no longer use day-to-day at  
Cycle, I've found it extremely difficult to maintain these two just on  
my own.

I am able/willing to co-maintain that as part of a joint effort with  
others. Just lack some of the time, and equipment, necessary to do  
that well.

I definitely don’t have the equipment to do real testing. But I can definitely make sure trivial patches get merged, and help coördinate people who can test meaningful stuff.

I’ve added you to the org, feel free to transfer.

Ohai everyone,

Nice initiative! Same problem happen to us a long time ago and we created  
similar organization: [redguide · GitHub](https://github.com/redguide)  
We are currently working on formalize rules and guideline for maintainers.  
Maybe we can work together?
