I'm happy to help here, I just went through and poked at a few things. It is going to be tough to make meaningful contributions there without approve authority, especially given the normal trust building exercise for core teams takes 3+ months. It might be useful to figure out if there are a set of folks already in the community that the existing core team would be happy to provisionally promote to help worth the current patch backlog and get things flowing. -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
