To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://docs.openstack.org

To study its anatomy: read http://nova.openstack.org

To dissect it in detail: visit http://github.com/openstack/nova

To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

To watch it: http://jenkins.openstack.org

To hack at it: read HACKING
