Hello Guys, im starting to use KEA right now. Some background, i?ve used ISC a
lot (modified it a lot), i?ve deployed since 2003 a large number of triple play
providers (~ 6MM of subscribers groping all), with ISC, Incognito DHCP, Cisco
CNR .
I would like to help in the KEA devel process (we still deploy provisioning
systems, not only for 3G but STB?s GPON?s etc etc and we have our own too), im
a Java programmer (javascript, PHP, some python, some perl as well) and i have
a strong background on network infrastructure (CMTS, Servers, High
Availability, Cablemodems, MTA, etc etc)
I have some issues (im testing kea for a PacketCable environment) that ill post
to the users lists right away.
If there?s something i can help, ill be glad to do it.
Regards.

Hello,
It is good to see your interest in Kea. We also appreciate your offer to
help in development. We always welcome contributions! You might already
by familiar with our ticketing system based on Trac and located here:
kea.isc.org. You can use it to track the work we're doing for the
upcoming releases as well as more distant plans and outstanding work.
You point out you're a Java programmer and have experience in some
scripting languages. Please note that currently Kea is almost purely
C++, so any contributions require a solid base of C++.
I saw your other posts about issues you see with encapsulated options
and host name generation. I will have a closer look and get back to you.
I also encourage you to use trac for submitting any issues you observe
with Kea on kea.isc.org. Obviously, if you're not sure if a particular
behavior "is a bug or a feature" it is fine to ask on the mailing list
first.
Please continue testing Kea and report any problems you find. As for the
contributions, you're welcome to implement tickets from the Trac.
However, it is good if you first consult your choice with us. Also,
please note that there is a bunch of tickets that we scoped for the near
releases and many of them we already planned to develop ourselves. So,
some more strict coordination is needed with respect to them.
That may be an interesting material for you:

Regards,
Marcin
PS. We (myself and Tomek), who are mostly working on Kea at the moment
are preparing for IETF and some holidays afterwards. Thus, the contact
with us my be harder at times.

Great, i will.
Yes, the other two tickets on the user list are related to a project im working
to move 350.000 MTA?s (telephony cablemodems) to a new schema and i would like
to use kea with a common db backend and 8-10 DHCP servers. is pretty basic, but
i need that option (122) i dont care if it?s not a common option i terms that i
can set it up as a custom space. it?s ok with me, and to build dymamic
hostnames (needed to provide an identified for the telephony part).
as soon i get this working ill be developing a web centralized management of
the servers and a REST webservice to handle the whole that ill be glad to
upload if you want.
Thanks again and ill be on track trying to help.
best regards
ps: please do not hesitate to contact me to my mail if there?s anything i can
help.
