Jeff, Here's a good starting point for helping with Nova: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-low-hanging-fruit
I got my start with a tiny python library named oslo.config, we'd welcome help with any of the ongoing or new work in oslo: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Oslo the channels are #openstack-nova and #openstack-oslo respectively, just following along discussions has helped me tremendously when i got started. Yes, Victor is leading python3 work (fixing tests) for nova and i am helping as well, so you could jump in there as well https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/nova+status:open+topic:%255E.*python3.*,n,z Hope this helps, -- dims On Sat, Jun 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Jeff Learman <jeff.lear...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm an OpenStack newbie, but a seasoned programmer with decades of > experience in data communications (especially IP stack lower layers) and > embedded systems.
