You, yes, you! Tired of mdehaan being slow fixing things or not getting around to implementing your really good idea? Want to contribute to an open source project and get some free info on how? Do you think you know enough to be dangerous but need some help figuring things out? Hacked around on various scripts before but want to work on a larger program? Want to learn more Python, RPM, Linux, or git-fu? Have architecture questions about how Cobbler works internally?
"Learn to Hack on Cobbler Week" is for you! This week is all about getting new folks to contribute to Cobbler, as well as helping folks that have contributed once or twice learn to do bigger things. Cobbler is a community project. I am just the steward for it now, and it is fueled by contributors from all over. We already have over 70 of them! Your chance to join this elite squadron of Cobbler hackers. Before you get started you will want to: * get a Fedora account at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts -- you'll need this to edit the bug tracker * think about what you want to work on, if it's in Trac at fedorahosted.org/cobbler, great, assign it to yourself... if not, open a new ticket! * join the https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler-devel mailing list -- this is where we'll be sending patches * join #cobbler-devel on irc.freenode.net if your work will let you -- this is the development chat channel. If you can't, email is ok, and you can post comments/questions to the devel list. * checkout the Cobbler code from the instructions on the Wiki ... or at least read about how to check out the code. If anyone needs git help, we can help with that too. How things are going to work? You are priority #1 all week long -- not what I'm working on, not helping people in the user channel, just you and getting your feature/change into cobbler! If you have questions, I'll answer them as best I can, and work with anyone in learning how to contribute to cobbler. Bring questions of all kinds, even architectural ones, or basic ones... doesn't matter! This week is about you. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting (and hopefully very informative) week! --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
