Prakesh, Thanks for the offer to step in. There are lots of improvements and refactorings to be made. Made sure you have a good test bed first. At the moment we are in freeze so getting contributions accepted is hard on the beginner. For starters I would suggest finding the massive blobs (huge methods) in cloudstack and dissecting them to smaller chunks and writing unit tests for them. There's a lot of them around. It is a great beginners job for an experienced dev. Another one is upgrading dependencies. there is some outdated ones and I am looking at those but have to little time to get real work done on them. If you can identify the code using commons-httpclient and can rewrite it to use (the newer apache) httpclient. that would be great.
I am sure a lot of people can give you a lot of clues. These are a few just below my agenda ;) regards, On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 7:57 AM, B Prakash <bpr...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I am an experience Java EE professional (new to cloudstack though). > > > I am interested in contributing to the development.
