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 Devstack.

Communication

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. There are 2 exceptions, approving patches to unblock the gate and patches that do not relate to the Devstack’s core logic, like for example old job cleanups, can be approved by single core reviewers.

Project Team Lead Duties

All common PTL duties are enumerated in the PTL guide.

The Release Process for QA is documented in QA Release Process.
