2. Click the I am a new Ubuntu One user.

What is the OpenStack Foundation Account?

Allows you to:

• Make code contributions.
• Vote in elections.
• Run for elected positions in the OpenStack project.
• Submit presentations to OpenStack conferences.

Note

Make sure to use the same email address you'll want to use for code contributions since it's important later that these match up.

2. Under individual members, click the Foundation Member button.
3. Read through the presented individual member terms of service and our Community Code of Conduct.

Setup Gerrit Account

What is Gerrit?

This is the review system the OpenStack community uses. Here are just some of the things we use Gerrit for reviewing:

• Code
• Specifications
• Translations
• Use cases for features

Sign Up

1. Visit OpenStack's Gerrit page and click the sign in link.
2. You will be prompted to select a username. You can enter the same one you did for launchpad, or something else.

Note

From here on out when you sign into Gerrit, you'll be prompted to enter your your Launchpad login info. This is because Gerrit uses it as an OpenID single sign on.
