So You Want to Contribute...
|
||||||
|
============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the
|
||||||
|
`contributor guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/>`_ to get started.
|
||||||
|
It covers all the basics that are common to all OpenStack projects: the
|
||||||
|
accounts you need, the basics of interacting with our Gerrit review system,
|
||||||
|
how we communicate as a community, etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below will cover the more project specific information you need to get started
|
||||||
|
with Octavia.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Communication
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IRC
|
||||||
|
People working on the Octavia project may be found in the
|
||||||
|
``#openstack-lbaas`` channel on Freenode during working hours
|
||||||
|
in their timezone. The channel is logged, so if you ask a question
|
||||||
|
when no one is around, you can check the log to see if it's been
|
||||||
|
answered: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-lbaas/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Weekly Meeting
|
||||||
|
The Octavia team meets weekly on freenode IRC. Please see the OpenStack
|
||||||
|
meetings page for the current meeting details and ICS file:
|
||||||
|
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#Octavia_Meeting
|
||||||
|
Meetings are logged: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/octavia/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mailing List
|
||||||
|
We use the openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org mailing list for
|
||||||
|
asynchronous discussions or to communicate with other OpenStack teams.
|
||||||
|
Use the prefix ``[octavia]`` in your subject line (it's a high-volume
|
||||||
|
list, so most people use email filters).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More information about the mailing list, including how to subscribe
|
||||||
|
and read the archives, can be found at:
|
||||||
|
http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Virtual Meet-ups
|
||||||
|
From time to time, the Octavia project will have video meetings to
|
||||||
|
address topics not easily covered by the above methods. These are
|
||||||
|
announced well in advance at the weekly meeting and on the mailing
|
||||||
|
list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Physical Meet-ups
|
||||||
|
The Octavia project usually has a presence at the OpenDev/OpenStack
|
||||||
|
Project Team Gathering that takes place at the beginning of each
|
||||||
|
development cycle. Planning happens on an etherpad whose URL is
|
||||||
|
announced at the weekly meetings and on the mailing list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Contacting the Core Team
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The octavia-core team is an active group of contributors who are responsible
|
||||||
|
for directing and maintaining the Octavia project. As a new contributor, your
|
||||||
|
interaction with this group will be mostly through code reviews, because
|
||||||
|
only members of octavia-core can approve a code change to be merged into the
|
||||||
|
code repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. note::
|
||||||
|
Although your contribution will require reviews by members of
|
||||||
|
octavia-core, these aren't the only people whose reviews matter.
|
||||||
|
Anyone with a gerrit account can post reviews, so you can ask
|
||||||
|
other developers you know to review your code ... and you can
|
||||||
|
review theirs. (A good way to learn your way around the codebase
|
||||||
|
is to review other people's patches.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're thinking, "I'm new at this, how can I possibly provide
|
||||||
|
a helpful review?", take a look at `How to Review Changes the
|
||||||
|
OpenStack Way
|
||||||
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/review-the-openstack-way.html>`_.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are also some Octavia project specific reviewing guidelines
|
||||||
|
in the :ref:`octavia-style-commandments` section of the Octavia Contributor
|
||||||
|
Guide.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can learn more about the role of core reviewers in the OpenStack
|
||||||
|
governance documentation:
|
||||||
|
https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/governance.html#core-reviewer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The membership list of octavia-core is maintained in gerrit:
|
||||||
|
https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/370,members
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also find the members of the octavia-core team at the Octavia weekly
|
||||||
|
meetings.
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
New Feature Planning
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Octavia team use both Request For Enhancement (RFE) and Specifications
|
||||||
|
(specs) processes for new features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RFE
|
||||||
|
When a feature being proposed is easy to understand and will have limited
|
||||||
|
scope, the requester will create an RFE in Storyboard. This is a story that
|
||||||
|
includes the tag **[RFE]** in the subject prefix and has the "**rfe**" tag
|
||||||
|
added to the story.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once an RFE story is created, a core reviewer or the Project Team Lead
|
||||||
|
(PTL) will approved the RFE by adding the "**rfe-approved**" tag. This
|
||||||
|
signals that the core team understands the feature being proposed and
|
||||||
|
enough detail has been provided to make sure the core team understands the
|
||||||
|
goal of the change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
specs
|
||||||
|
If the new feature is a major change or additon to Octavia that will need
|
||||||
|
a detailed design to be successful, the Octavia team requires a
|
||||||
|
specification (spec) proposal be submitted as a patch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Octavia specification documents are stored in the /octavia/specs directory
|
||||||
|
in the main Octavia git repository:
|
||||||
|
https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia/src/branch/master/specs
|
||||||
|
This directory includes a `template.rst <https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia/src/branch/master/specs/template.rst>`_ file that includes instructions for
|
||||||
|
creating a new Octavia specification.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These specification documents are then rendered and included in the
|
||||||
|
`Project Specifications <https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/latest/contributor/index.html#project-specifications>`_ section of the Octavia Contributor
|
||||||
|
Guide.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Feel free to ask in ``#openstack-lbaas`` or at the weekly meeting if you
|
||||||
|
have an idea you want to develop and you're not sure whether it requires
|
||||||
|
an RFE or a specification.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Octavia project observes the OpenStack-wide deadlines,
|
||||||
|
for example, final release of non-client libraries (octavia-lib), final
|
||||||
|
release for client libraries (python-octaviaclient), feature freeze,
|
||||||
|
etc. These are noted and explained on the release schedule for the current
|
||||||
|
development cycle available at: https://releases.openstack.org/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Task Tracking
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We track our tasks in `Storyboard
|
||||||
|
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/octavia>`_.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started
|
||||||
|
on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you start working on a bug, make sure you assign it to yourself.
|
||||||
|
Otherwise someone else may also start working on it, and we don't want to
|
||||||
|
duplicate efforts. Also, if you find a bug in the code and want to post a
|
||||||
|
fix, make sure you file a bug (and assign it to yourself!) just in case someone
|
||||||
|
else comes across the problem in the meantime.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Reporting a Bug
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so on
|
||||||
|
`Storyboard
|
||||||
|
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/octavia>`_.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please remember to include the following information:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The version of Octavia and OpenStack you observed the issue in.
|
||||||
|
* Steps to reproduce.
|
||||||
|
* Expected behavior.
|
||||||
|
* Observed behavior.
|
||||||
|
* The log snippet that contains any error information. Please include the lines
|
||||||
|
directly before the error message(s) as they provide context for the error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Getting Your Patch Merged
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Octavia project policy is that a patch must have two +2s reviews from the
|
||||||
|
core reviewers before it can be merged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Patches for Octavia projects must include unit and functional tests that cover
|
||||||
|
the new code. Octavia projects include the "openstack-tox-cover" testing job to
|
||||||
|
help identify test coverage gaps in a patch. This can also be run locally by
|
||||||
|
running "tox -e cover".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition, some changes may require a release note. Any patch that
|
||||||
|
changes functionality, adds functionality, or addresses a significant
|
||||||
|
bug should have a release note. Release notes can be created using the "reno"
|
||||||
|
tool by running "reno new <summary-message>".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keep in mind that the best way to make sure your patches are reviewed in
|
||||||
|
a timely manner is to review other people's patches. We're engaged in a
|
||||||
|
cooperative enterprise here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
