StackForge

StackForge

StackForge is the way that OpenStack related projects can consume and make use of the OpenStack project infrastructure. This includes Gerrit code review, Jenkins continuous integration, GitHub repository mirroring, and various small things like IRC bots, pypi uploads, RTFD updates. Projects should make use of StackForge if they want to run their project with Gerrit code review and have a trunk gated by Jenkins.

StackForge projects are expected to be self sufficient when it comes to configuring Gerrit/Jenkins/Zuul etc. The openstack-infra team can provide assistance as resources allow, but should not be relied on.

What StackForge is not:

  • Official endorsement of a project by OpenStack.
  • Access to a GitHub organization (StackForge projects are mirrored to GitHub, this is all the GitHub org is used for).
  • A guarantee of eventual OpenStack incubation (Though it is a good first step in that process as it exposes the project to the OpenStack way of doing things).

Audience

The focus of StackForge is to provide a place for OpenStack contributors to maintain related unofficial projects using the same tools and procedures as they employ when working on official OpenStack projects, to make it easier for other OpenStack developers to contribute effort to those projects and in some cases to ease a project's path to incubation and official integration. As such, the target audience for this document is current OpenStack developers who are assumed to already be familiar with how changes are uploaded and reviewed within OpenStack projects. As an introduction to OpenStack contribution, it is recommend to first read https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/How_To_Contribute and in particular the https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Gerrit_Workflow article linked from it.
