============================ So You Want to Contribute... ============================ For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the `contributor guide `_ 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 Zaqar. Communication ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * IRC channel #openstack-zaqar at OFTC * Mailing list (prefix subjects with ``[zaqar]`` for faster responses) http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss Contacting the Core Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please refer the `zaqar Core Team `_ contacts. New Feature Planning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ zaqar features are tracked on `Launchpad `_. Task Tracking ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We track our tasks in `Launchpad `_. If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag. Reporting a Bug ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so on `Launchpad `_. Getting Your Patch Merged ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All changes proposed to the zaqar project require one or two +2 votes from zaqar core reviewers before one of the core reviewers can approve patch by giving ``Workflow +1`` vote. Project Team Lead Duties ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All common PTL duties are enumerated in the `PTL guide `_.
