So You Want to Contribute...
For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the contributor guide 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 {{cookiecutter.service}}.
Communication
We use the #openstack-venus IRC channel.
The weekly meetings happen in this channel. You can find the meeting times, previous meeting logs and proposed meeting agendas at Venus Team Meeting Page.
Contacting the Core Team
The core reviewers of Venus and their emails are listed in Venus core team.
New Feature Planning
To propose or plan new features, we add a new story in the Venus Launchpad and/or propose a specification in the venus-specs repository.
Task Tracking
We track our tasks in the Launchpad.
If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started on, ask in the IRC meeting.
Reporting a Bug
You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so on Launchpad. More info about Launchpad usage can be found on OpenStack docs page.
Getting Your Patch Merged
To merge a patch, it must pass all voting Zuul checks and get two +2s from core reviewers. We strive to avoid scenarios where one person from a company or organization proposes a patch, and two other core reviewers from the same organization approve it to get it merged. In other words, at least one among the patch author and the two approving reviewers must be from another organization.
We are constantly striving to improve quality. Proposed patches must generally have unit tests and/or functional tests that cover the changes, and strive to improve code coverage.
Project Team Lead Duties
All common PTL duties are enumerated in the PTL guide.
