We're glad to have you with us. It's going to be an exciting summer! > So whats the next step? Do I need to take any official procedures. I > hope we don't want to wait for the official call. There's no need to wait for the official call, no. If you're ready to get started, let's not allow bureaucracy to stand in the way. I'm also a first-time mentor, so I'm learning the process along with you. > I installed fedora 15 alpha on my machine.

It's a good idea to hang out in IRC whenever you're working on SSSD. There are usually SSSD devs active in there between 0500 and 1800 EST (we have devs in Germany and the Czech Republic, as well as in the USA). Ideally, all design discussions should happen on the sssd-devel mailing list, so they're saved for future reference. We'll also want you to set up a Fedora Account so you can use the SSSD Trac wiki for your design documents. I'm CCing the sssd-devel list on this reply, so please continue this discussion there. > Is there any need to be highly formal while in SSSD channel? Not at all.

The biggest two would be: http://www.freeipa.org/page/IPA_Client_Design_Overview This gives a high-level overview of how the SSSD is designed (it's a little out of date now, but still mostly correct) Also http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/sgallagh/2010/03/17/why-you-should-use-talloc-for-your-next-project/ will give you a quick primer in talloc, the hierarchical memory allocator that we use in the SSSD. There's also https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Backends101 which will give you a little bit of a view on how the backends are implemented (though the example there is more about writing a new backend for the existing provider types, while you're going to be writing a new provider type).
