We are always happy to have more help running the community developer 
infrastructure. A good place to start is probably with this document, 
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/project.html, as it gives a high 
level overview of how we operate and are organized.

To summarize here quickly, we are a community effort to build and run developer 
tooling. We use code review and automated deployment tooling which allows 
people to contribute without having root. If you'd like to get involved and 
become a root the process for that is to start through the code review system 
and take advantage of our automated deployments.

I like to encourage individuals find a task that interests them and start from 
there. Some of the big efforts we currently have are:

1. Modernize configuration management
1a. Convert to ansible for configuration management (gerrit 
topic:update-cfg-mgmt)
1b. Update puppet 3 to puppet 4 since the ansible conversion won't happen 
immediately (gerrit topic:puppet-4)
1c. Use docker images and containers to deploy software, particularly that 
which we install from source
2. IRC bot update to handle the large number of channels we talk to with common 
tooling
3. Gerrit upgrade to 2.15 (may be related to 1a and 1c)
4. OpenDev transition, though this is new and doesn't have many concrete 
actions yet.

There are other items as well. Feel free to follow up with this list, myself or 
on IRC if any of this does interest you and we can go from there.

Hope this helps,
Clark
