| For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the |
| `contributor guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/>`_ 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 Devstack. |
| |
| Communication |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| * IRC channel ``#openstack-qa`` at FreeNode |
| * Mailing list (prefix subjects with ``[qa][devstack]`` for faster responses) |
| http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss |
| |
| Contacting the Core Team |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| Please refer to the `Devstack Core Team |
| <https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/50,members>`_ contacts. |
| |
| New Feature Planning |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| If you want to propose a new feature please read `Feature Proposal Process`_ |
| Devstack features are tracked on `Launchpad BP <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/devstack>`_. |
| |
| Task Tracking |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| We track our tasks in `Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack>`_. |
| |
| Reporting a Bug |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so on |
| `Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+filebug>`__. |

| |
| Getting Your Patch Merged |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| All changes proposed to the Devstack require two ``Code-Review +2`` votes from |
| Devstack core reviewers before one of the core reviewers can approve the patch |
| by giving ``Workflow +1`` vote. One exception is for patches to unblock the gate |
| which can be approved by single core reviewers. |
