Good morning,

I would definitely love to get involved after October.  I also have a few 
people in mind who'd also love to help out.  Who should I chat with for more 
details/setup?

Thanks,
Dimitry

Subject: [openstack-dev] Infra needs Gerrit developers

Hello All,

I believe you are all familiar with Gerrit.  Our community relies on it quite 
heavily and it is one of the most important applications in our CI 
infrastructure. I work on the OpenStack-infra team and I've been hacking on 
Gerrit for a while. I'm the infra team's sole Gerrit developer. I also test all 
our Gerrit upgrades prior to infra upgrading Gerrit.  There are many Gerrit 
feature and bug fix requests coming from the OpenStack community however due to 
limited resources it has been a challenge to meet those requests.

I've been fielding some of those requests and trying to make Gerrit better for 
OpenStack.  I was wondering whether there are any other folks in our community 
who might also like to hack on a large scale java application that's being used 
by many corporations and open source projects in the world.  If so this is an 
opportunity for you to contribute.  I'm hoping to get more OpenStackers 
involved with the Gerrit community so we can collectively make OpenStack 
better.  If you would like to get involved let the openstack-infra folks 
know[1] and we will try help get you going.

For instance our last attempt to upgrading Gerrit failed due to a bug[2] that 
makes repos unusable on a diff timeout.   This bug is still not fixed so a nice 
way to contribute is to help us fix things like this so we can continue to use 
never versions of Gerrit.
