Who
===
If you are a new contributor and are still searching for a way to
contribute to Nova, this mail is for you. If you are not a newbie
but have a bit bandwidth available, you're welcome too :)
Why
===
Why you should bother?
* It's an easy way to start contributing
* I can offer you to help with:
* pushing patches,
* debugging the gate,
* dealing with reviews
* and learning the general workflow
* you will learn about different functional areas and can give back
to the community
What
====
There is effort ongoing to improve the way Nova offers its configuration
options to the operators [1]. In short, you have to read and understand
code and describe the impact of config options as a black box so that the
operators don't have to read code to understand what they are configuring.
At the end it will look like these two patches:
* https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244177/
* https://review.openstack.org/#/c/246465/
How
===
The organization is done with an etherpad [2] which contains:
* what needs to be done
* how it has to be done
Just ping me (markus_z) in the #openstack-nova channel (I'm in the
UTC+1 timezone) or grab something out of the etherpad [2] and give
it a try.
