==================
Project Onboarding
==================
This document should help you understand how to contribute to
OpenStack-Ansible.
Project repositories
====================
The OpenStack-Ansible project has different kinds of git repositories,
each of them with specific use cases, and different sets of practices.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Repository type or name
- Code location
- Repository purpose
* - | **OpenStack-Ansible**
| Also called *integrated repository*
- * https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible
- Our main repository, used by deployers.
Uses the other repositories.
* - | The **OpenStack-Ansible roles** repositories
- * https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_nova
* https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_glance
* https://github.com/openstack/ansible-role-systemd_mount
* https://github.com/openstack/ansible-config_template
* https://github.com/openstack/ansible-hardening
* ...
- Each role is in charge of deploying **exactly one**
component of an OpenStack-Ansible deployment.
* - | The **tests repository**
- * https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-tests
- | The tests repository is the location for common code used in
the integrated repo and role repos tests.
| It allows us to not repeat ourselves: it is the location of
common playbooks, common tasks and scripts.
* - | The **specs** repository
- * https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-specs
- This repository contains all the information concerning
large bodies of work done in OpenStack-Ansible,
split by cycle.
* - | The **ops** repository
- * https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-ops
- This repository is an incubator for new projects, each project
solving a particular operational problem. Each project has its
own folder in this repository.
* - | External repositories
- * https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible
* https://github.com/logan2211/ansible-resolvconf
* https://github.com/willshersystems/ansible-sshd
* https://github.com/opendaylight/integration-packaging-ansible-opendaylight
* https://github.com/evrardjp/ansible-keepalived
* ...
- OpenStack-Ansible is not re-inventing the wheel, and tries to
reuse as much as possible existing roles. A bugfix for one of
those repositories must be handled to these repositories'
maintainers.
How to contribute on code or issues
===================================
* For contributing code and documentation, you must follow the
OpenStack practices. Nothing special is required for OpenStack-Ansible.
See also the `OpenStack developers getting started page`_.
and our :ref:`contributor guidelines<contributing>` before hacking.
* For helping on or submitting bugs, you must have an account on
ubuntu Launchpad.
All our repositories share the same `Launchpad project`_.
Please check our :ref:`bug report<bug_reporting>` and
:ref:`bug triage<bug_triage>` processes.
Easy to fix bugs are marked with the tag *low hanging fruit*, and
should be the target of first time contributors.
* For sharing your user experience, stories, and helping other users,
please join us in our :ref:`IRC channel<irc>`.
* The OpenStack-Ansible project has recurring tasks that need
attention, like releasing, or other code duties.
See our page :ref:`Periodic work<periodicwork>`.
