New Feature Planning
New features are discussed via IRC or mailing list (with [kolla] prefix). Kolla project keeps blueprints in Launchpad. Specs are welcome but not strictly required.
Task Tracking
Kolla project tracks tasks in Launchpad. Note this is the same place as for bugs.
If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.
A more lightweight task tracking is done via etherpad - Whiteboard.
Reporting a Bug
You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so on Launchpad. Note this is the same place as for tasks.
Getting Your Patch Merged
Most changes proposed to Kolla require two +2 votes from core
reviewers before +W. A release note is required on most changes as well.
Release notes policy is described in its own section <release-notes>.
Significant changes should have documentation and testing provided with them.
Project Team Lead Duties
All common PTL duties are enumerated in the PTL guide. Kolla-specific PTL duties are listed in Kolla PTL guide.
