<section xml:id="support-ask_openstack">
<title>ask.openstack.org</title>
<para>During the set up or testing of OpenStack, you might
have questions about how a specific task is completed or
be in a situation where a feature does not work correctly.
Use the <link xlink:href="http://ask.openstack.org"
>ask.openstack.org</link> site to ask questions and
get answers. When you visit the <link
xlink:href="http://ask.openstack.org"
>http://ask.openstack.org</link> site, scan the
recently asked questions to see whether your question has
already been answered. If not, ask a new question. Be sure
to give a clear, concise summary in the title and provide
as much detail as possible in the description. Paste in
your command output or stack traces, links to screen
shots, and any other information which
might be useful.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="support-mailing-lists">
<title>OpenStack mailing lists</title>
<para>A great way to get answers and insights is to post your
question or problematic scenario to the OpenStack mailing
list. You can learn from and help others who might have
similar issues. To subscribe or view the archives, go to
<link
xlink:href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack"
>http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack</link>.
You might be interested in the other mailing lists for
specific projects or development, which you can find <link
xlink:href="http://wiki.openstack.org/MailingLists">on
the wiki</link>. A description of all mailing lists is
available at <link
xlink:href="http://wiki.openstack.org/MailingLists"
>http://wiki.openstack.org/MailingLists</link>.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="support-wiki">
<title>The OpenStack wiki</title>
<para>The <link xlink:href="http://wiki.openstack.org/">OpenStack
wiki</link> contains a broad range of topics but some of the
information can be difficult to find or is a few pages deep.
Fortunately, the wiki search feature enables you to search by title
or content. If you search for specific information, such as about
networking or nova, you can find a large amount of relevant
material. More is being added all the time, so be sure to check back
often. You can find the search box in the upper-right corner of any
OpenStack wiki page.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="support-bugs-area">
<title>The Launchpad Bugs area</title>
<para>The OpenStack community values your set up and testing efforts and
wants your feedback. To log a bug, you must sign up for a Launchpad
account at <link xlink:href="https://launchpad.net/+login"
>https://launchpad.net/+login</link>. You can view existing bugs
and report bugs in the Launchpad Bugs area. Use the search feature
to determine whether the bug has already been reported or already
been fixed. If it still seems like your bug is unreported, fill out
a bug report.</para>

<section xml:id="support-irc-channel">
<title>The OpenStack IRC channel</title>
<para>The OpenStack community lives in the #openstack IRC channel on the
Freenode network. You can hang out, ask questions, or get immediate
feedback for urgent and pressing issues. To install an IRC client or
use a browser-based client, go to <link
xlink:href="http://webchat.freenode.net"
>http://webchat.freenode.net/</link>. You can also use Colloquy
(Mac OS X, <link xlink:href="http://colloquy.info/"
>http://colloquy.info/</link>), mIRC (Windows, <link
xlink:href="http://www.mirc.com/">http://www.mirc.com/</link>),
or XChat (Linux). When you are in the IRC channel and want to share
code or command output, the generally accepted method is to use a
Paste Bin. The OpenStack project has one at <link
xlink:href="http://paste.openstack.org"
>http://paste.openstack.org</link>. Just paste your longer
amounts of text or logs in the web form and you get a URL that you
can paste into the channel. The OpenStack IRC channel is
<literal>#openstack</literal> on
<literal>irc.freenode.net</literal>. You can find a list of all
OpenStack IRC channels at <link
