Getting Involved
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack community for Nova is a very friendly group and there are places online to join in with the
|
|
community. Feel free to ask questions. This document points you to some of the places where you can
|
|
communicate with people.
|
|
|
|
How to Join the OpenStack Community
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing, and there are no formal
|
|
membership requirements. The best way to join the community is to talk with others online or at a meetup
|
|
and offer contributions through Launchpad, the wiki, or blogs. We welcome all types of contributions,
|
|
from blueprint designs to documentation to testing to deployment scripts.
|
|
|
|
Contributing Code
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
To contribute code, sign up for a Launchpad account and sign a contributor license agreement,
|
|
available on the `OpenStack Wiki`_. Once the CLA is signed you
|
|
can contribute code through the Bazaar version control system which is related to your Launchpad
|
|
account. See the :doc:`devref/development.environment` page to get started.
|
|
|
|
#openstack on Freenode IRC Network
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There is a very active chat channel at `<irc://freenode.net/#openstack>`_. This
|
|
is usually the best place to ask questions and find your way around. IRC stands for Internet Relay
|
|
Chat and it is a way to chat online in real time. You can also ask a question and come back to the
|
|
log files to read the answer later. Logs for the #openstack IRC channel are stored at
|
|
`<http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/>`_.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Wiki
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The wiki is a living source of knowledge. It is edited by the community, and
|
|
has collections of links and other sources of information. Typically the pages are a good place
|
|
to write drafts for specs or documentation, describe a blueprint, or collaborate with others.

|
|

|
|
about OpenStack from around the internet into a single feed. If you'd like to contribute to this blog
|
|
aggregation with your blog posts, there are instructions for `adding your blog <http://wiki.openstack.org/AddingYourBlog>`_.
|
|
|

OpenStack Docs Site
|
|

|
|
|
|
The `nova.openstack.org <http://nova.openstack.org>`_ site is geared towards developer documentation,
|
|
and the `docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org>`_ site is intended for cloud administrators
|
|
who are standing up and running OpenStack Compute in production. You can contribute to the Docs Site
