+ci-management repo
+==================
+
+Once Jenkins is available we can initialize a new ci-management repo.
+
+Steps
+
+.. todo:: First bootstrap a builder so that we can bootstrap ci-management
+
+#. Create ci-management repo in Gerrit
+#. Create a README.md file explaining the purpose of the repo
+#. Setup tox/coala linting for jjb/ and packer directories
+#. Install global-jjb to GIT_ROOT/jjb/global-jjb
+#. Create the CI Jobs in jjb/ci-management/ci-jobs.yaml
+
+ .. code-block:: yaml
+
+ - project:
+ name: ci-jobs
+
+ jobs:
+ - '{project-name}-ci-jobs'
+
+ project: ci-management
+ project-name: ci-management
+ build-node: centos7-builder-2c-1g
+
+#. Manually push the initial ci-management jobs to Jenkins
+#. Git commit the current files and push to Gerrit
+#. Confirm verify jobs work
+#. Merge the patch and confirm merge job works
+#. Install lf-ansible to GIT_ROOT/lf-ansible::
+
+ git submodule add https://github.com/lfit/releng-lf-ansible.git lf-ansible
+
+#. Install common-packer to GIT_ROOT/packer/common-packer::
+
+ git submodule add https://github.com/lfit/releng-common-packer.git packer/common-packer
+
+#. Git commit and merge patch in Gerrit
+#. Create Initial CI Packer job in jjb/ci-management/ci-packer.yaml
+
+ .. code-block:: yaml
+
+ - project:
+ name: packer-builder-jobs
+ jobs:
+ - gerrit-packer-merge
+
+ project: ci-management
+ project-name: ci-management
+ build-node: centos7-builder-2c-1g
+
+ platforms: centos
+ templates: builder
+
+#. Git commit and merge patch in Gerrit
+#. Symlink common-packer/templates/builder.json.example to templates/builder.json
+#. Git commit and push patch to Gerrit
+#. Confirm packer verify job passes
+#. Merge patch and confirm merge job works
+#. Update and Create appropriate builders in Jenkins using the newly created image
+
+.. todo:: provide example README text
+.. todo:: provide example tox.ini and .coafile
+.. todo:: we need to make sure the ci-jobs macro includes the tox job for linting
