A newcomer's guide to navigating OpenStack Infrastructure
===========================================================
New contributors to OpenStack are welcome, but having a road map for navigating within this maturing, fast-paced open source community doesn't hurt. At OpenStack Summit in Austin, [Paul Belanger][1] (Red Hat, Inc.), [Elizabeth K. Joseph][2] (HPE), and [Christopher Aedo][3] (IBM) will lead a session on [OpenStack Infrastructure for Beginners][4]. In this interview, they offer tips and resources to help onboard new OpenStack contributors.
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/images/life/Interview%20banner%20Q%26A.png)
**Your talk description says you'll be "diving into the heart of infrastructure and explain everything you need to know about the systems that keep OpenStack working." That's a tall order for a 40-minute time slot. What are the top things beginners should know about OpenStack infrastructure?**
**Elizabeth K. Joseph (EKJ)**: We don't use GitHub for OpenStack patches. This is something that trips up a lot of new contributors because we do maintain mirrors of all our repositories on GitHub for historical reasons. Instead we use a fully open source code review and continuous integration (CI) system maintained by the OpenStack Infrastructure team. Relatedly, since we run a CI system, every change proposed to OpenStack is tested before merging.
**Paul Belanger (PB)**: A lot of passionate people in the project, so don't get discouraged if your patch gets a -1.
**Christopher Aedo (CA)**: The community wants to help you succeed, don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for pointers to more information to improve your understanding.
### Which online resources would you recommend for beginners to fill in the holes for what you can't cover in your talk?
**PB**: Definitely our [OpenStack Project Infrastructure documentation][5]. At lot of effort has been taken to keep it up to date as much as possible. Every system used in running OpenStack as a project has a dedicated page, even the OpenStack cloud the Infrastructure teams is bringing online.
**EKJ**: I'll echo what Paul said about the Infrastructure documentation, and add that we love seeing patches from folks who are learning. We often don't realize what we're missing in terms of documentation until someone asks. So read, learn, and then help us fill in the gaps. You can ask questions on the [openstack-infra mailing list][6] or in our IRC channel at #openstack-infra on Freenode.
**CA**: I love [this detailed post][7] about building images, by Ian Wienand.
### Which "gotchas" should new OpenStack contributors look out for?
**EKJ**: Contributing is not just about submitting new code and new features; the OpenStack community places a very high value on doing code reviews. If you want people to look at a patch you submitted, consider reviewing some of the work of others and providing clear and constructive feedback. The more your fellow contributors know about your work and see you doing reviews, the more likely you'll get your code reviewed in a timely manner.
**CA**: I see a lot of newcomers getting tripped up with [Gerrit][8]. Read through the [developer workflow][9] in the Developers Guide, and then maybe read through it one more time. If you're not used to Gerrit, it can seem confusing and overwhelming at first, but walking through a few code reviews usually makes it all come together. Also, I'm a big fan of IRC. It can be a great place to get help, but it's best if you can maintain a persistent presence so people can answer your questions even if you're not "there" at that particular moment. (Read [IRC, the secret to success in open source][10].) You don't need to be "always on," but the ability to easily scroll back in a channel and catch up on a conversation can be invaluable.
**PB**: I agree with both Elizabeth and Chris—Gerrit is what to look out for. It is going to be the hub of your development effort. Not only will you be submitting code for people to review, but you'll also be reviewing other contributors' code. Watch out for the Gerrit UI; it can be confusing at times. I'd recommend trying out [Gertty][11], which is a console-based interface to the Gerrit Code Review system, which happens to be a project driven by OpenStack Infrastructure.
### What resources do you recommend for beginners to help them network with other OpenStack contributors?
**PB**: For me, it was using IRC and joining the #openstack-infra channel on Freenode ([IRC logs][12]). There is a lot of fantastic information and people in that channel. You get to see the day-to-day operations of the OpenStack project, and once you know how the project works, you'll have a better understanding on how to contribute to its future.
**CA**: I want to second that note for IRC; staying on IRC throughout the day made a huge difference for me in terms of feeling informed and connected. It's also such a great way to get help when you're stuck with someone on one of the projects—the ones with active IRC channels always have someone around willing to get your issues sorted out.
**EKJ**: The [openstack-dev mailing list][13] is quite important for staying up to date with news about projects you're working on inside of OpenStack, so I recommend subscribing to that. The mailing list uses subject tags to separate projects, so you can instruct your email client to use those and focus on threads that impact projects you care about. Beyond online resources, many OpenStack groups have popped up all over the world that serve the needs of both users and contributors to OpenStack, and many of them routinely have talks and events with key OpenStack contributors. You can search on Meetup.com in your area, or search on [groups.openstack.org][14] to see if there is an OpenStack group in your area. Finally, there are the [OpenStack Summits][15], which happen every six months, and where we'll be giving our Infrastructure talk. In their current format, the summits consist of both a user conference and a developer conference in one space to talk about everything related to OpenStack, past, present, and future.
### In which areas does OpenStack need to improve to become more beginner-friendly?
**PB**: I think our [account-setup][16] process could be made easier for new contributors, especially how many steps are needed to submit your first patch. There is a large cost to enroll into OpenStack development model, which maybe be too much for contributors; however, once enrolled, the model works fantastic for developers.
**CA**: We have a very pro-developer community, but the focus is on developing OpenStack itself, with less consideration given to the users of OpenStack clouds. We need to bring in application developers and encourage more people to develop things that run beautifully on OpenStack clouds, and encourage them to share those apps in the [Community App Catalog][17]. We can do this by continuing to improve our API standards and by ensuring different libraries (like libcloud, phpopencloud, and others) continue to work reliably for developers. Oh, also by sponsoring more OpenStack hackathons! All these things can ease entry for newcomers, which will lead to them sticking around.
**EKJ**: I've worked on open source software for many years, but for a large number of OpenStack developers, this is the first open source project they've every worked on. I've found that their proprietary software background doesn't prepare them for the open source ideals, methodologies, and collaboration techniques used in an open source project. I'd love to see us do a better job of welcoming people who have this proprietary software background and working with them so they can truly understand the value of what they're working on in the open source software community.
### I think 2016 is shaping up to be the Year of the Open Source Haiku. Explain OpenStack to beginners via Haiku.
**PB**: OpenStack runs clouds If you enjoy free software Submit your first patch
**CA**: In the near future OpenStack will rule the world Help make it happen!
**EKJ**: OpenStack is free Deploy on your own servers And run your own cloud!
*Paul, Elizabeth*, and Christopher will be [speaking at OpenStack Summit][18] in Austin on Monday, April 25, starting at 11:15am.

给学习OpenStack基础设施的新手的入门指南
===========================================================
任何一个为OpenStack贡献源码的人会受到社区的欢迎但是对于一个发展趋近成熟并且快速迭代的开源社区而言能够拥有一个新手指南并不是
件坏事。在奥斯汀举办的OpenStack峰会上[Paul Belanger][1] (红帽公司), [Elizabeth K. Joseph][2] (HPE公司),和[Christopher Aedo][3] (IBM公司)将会就针对新人的OpenStack基础设施作一场专门的会谈。在这次采访中他们将会提供一些建议和资源来帮助新人成为OpenStack贡献者中的一员。
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/images/life/Interview%20banner%20Q%26A.png)
**你在谈话中表示你将“投入全部身心于基础设施并解释你需要知道的有关于维持OpenStack正常工作的系统的每一件事情”。这是一个持续了40分钟的的艰巨任务。那么对于学习OpenStack基础设施的新手来说最需要知道那些事情呢?**
**Elizabeth K. Joseph (EKJ)**: 我们没有为OpenStack使用GitHub这种提交补丁的方式这是因为这样做会对新手造成巨大的困扰尽管由于历史原因我们还是保留了所有原先就在GitHub上的所有库的镜像。相反我们使用了一种完全开源的复查形式并通过OpenStack基础设施团队来持续的维持系统集成(CI)。相关的自从我们使用了CI系统每一个提交给OpenStack的改变都会在被合并之前进行测试。
**Paul Belanger (PB)**: 这个项目中的大多数都是富有激情的人,因此当你提交的补丁被某个人否定时不要感到沮丧。
**Christopher Aedo (CA)**:社区很想帮助你取得成功,因此不要害怕提问或者寻求更多的那些能够促进你理解某些事物的引导者。
### 在你的讲话中,对于一些你无法涉及到的方面,你会向新手推荐哪些在线资源来让他们更加容易入门?
**PB**:当然是我们的[OpenStack项目基础设施文档][5]。我们已经花了足够大的努力来尽可能让这些文档能够随时保持最新状态。我们对每个运行OpenStack项目并投入使用的系统都有制作专门的页面来进行说明。甚至于连OpenStack云基础设施团队也即将上线。
**EKJ**:我对于将基础设施文档作为新手入门教程这件事上的观点和Paul是一致的另外我们十分乐意看到来自那些folk了我们项目的学习者提交上来的补丁。我们通常不会意识到我们忽略了文档中的某些内容除非它们恰好被人问起。因此阅读学习然后帮助我们修补这些知识上的漏洞。你可以在[OpenStack基础设施邮件清单]提出你的问题或者在我们位于FreeNode上的#OpenStack-infra的IRC专栏发起你的提问。
**CA**:我喜欢[这个详细的发布][7]它是由Ian Wienand写的一篇关于构建图片的文章。
### "gotchas" 会是OpenStack新的代码贡献者苦苦寻找的吗
**EKJ**:向项目作出贡献并不仅仅是提交新的代码和新的特性OpenStack社区高度重视代码复查。如果你想要别人查看你的补丁那你最好先看看其他人是如何做的然后参考他们的风格最后一步布做到你也能够向其他人一样提交清晰且结构分明的代码补丁。你越是能让你的同伴了解你的工作并知道你正在做的复查那他们也就更有可能形成及时复查你的代码的风格。
**CA**:我看到过大量的新手在面对Gerrit时受挫阅读开发者引导中的[开发者工作步骤][9]时可能只是将他通读了一遍。如果你没有经常使用Gerrit那你最初对它的感觉可能是困惑和无力的。但是如果你随后做了一些代码复查的工作那么你马上就能轻松应对它。同样我是IRC的忠实粉丝。它可能是一个获得帮助的好地方但是你最好保持一个长期保留的状态这样尽管你在某个时候没有出现人们也可以回答你的问题。阅读[IRC,开源界的成功秘诀][10]。)你不必总是在线,但是你最好能够轻松的在一个通道中进行回滚操作,以此来跟上最新的动态,这种能力非常重要。
**PB**:我同意Elizabeth和Chris—Gerrit关于寻求何种方式来学习的观点。每个开发人员所作出的努力都将让社区变得更加美好。你不仅仅要提交代码给别人去复查同时你也要能够复查其他人的代码。留意Gerrit的用户接口你可能一时会变的很疑惑。我推荐新手去尝试[Gertty][11]它是一个基于控制台的终端接口用于Gerrit代码复查系统而它恰好也是OpenStack基础设施所驱动的一个项目。
### 你对于OpenStack新手如何通过网络与其他贡献者交流方面有什么好的建议
**PB**:对我来说是通过IRC以及在Freenode上参加#OpenStack-infra专栏([IRC logs][12]).这专栏上面有很多对新手来说很有价值的资源。你可以看到OpenStack项目日复一日的运作情况同时一旦你知道了OpenStack项目的工作原理你将更好的知道如何为OpenStack的未来发展作出贡献。
**CA**:我想要为IRC再次说明一点在IRC上保持一整天的在线记录对我来说有非常重大的意义因为我会感觉到被重视并且时刻保持连接。这也是一种非常好的获得帮助的方式特别是当你卡在了项目中出现的某一个难题的时候而在专栏中总会有一些人很乐意为你解决问题。
**EKJ**:[OpenStack开发邮件列表][13]对于能够时刻查看到你所致力于的OpenStack项目的最新情况是非常重要的。因此我推荐一定要订阅它。邮件列表使用课题标签来区分项目因此你可以设置你的邮件客户端来使用它并且集中精力于你所关心的项目。除了在线资源之外全世界范围内也成立了一些OpenStack小组他们被用来为OpenStack的用户和贡献者提供服务。这些小组可能会定期举行座谈和针对OpenStack主要贡献者的一些活动。你可以在MeetUp.com上搜素你所在地域的贡献者活动聚会或者在[groups.openstack.org]上查看你所在的地域是否存在OpenStack小组。最后还有一个每六个月举办一次的OpenStack峰会这个峰会上会作一些关于基础设施的演说。当前状态下这个峰会包含了用户会议和开发者会议会议内容都是和OpenStack相关的东西包括它的过去现在和未来。
### OpenStack需要在那些方面得到提升来让新手更加容易学会并掌握
**PB**: 我认为我们的[account-setup][16]过程对于新的贡献者已经做的比较容易了特别是教他们如何提交他们的第一个补丁。真正参与到OpenStack开发者模式的过程是需要花费很大的努力的可能对于开发者来说已经显得非常多了然而一旦融入进去了这个模式将会运转的十分高效和令人满意。
**CA**: 我们拥有一个由专业开发者组成的社区而且我们的关注点都是发展OpenStack本身同时我们致力于让用户付出更小的代价去使用OpenStack云基础设施平台。我们需要发掘更多的应用开发者并且鼓励更多的人去开发能在OpenStack云上完美运行的云应用程序我们还鼓励他们在[社区App目录]上去贡献那些由他们开发的app。我们可以通过提升我们的API标准和保证我们不同的库比如libcloudphpopencloud已经其他一些库并让他们持续的为开发者提供可信赖的支持来实现这一目标。还有一点就是通过倡导更多的OpenStack黑客加入进来。所有的这些事情都可以降低新人的学习门槛这样也能引导他们与这个社区之间的关系更加紧密。y.
**EKJ**: 我已经致力于开源软件很多年了。但是对于大量的OpenStack开发者而言这是一个他们每个人都在从事的第一个开源项目。我发现他们之前使用私有软件的背景并没有为他们塑造开源的观念和方法论还有在开源项目中需要具备的合作技巧。我乐于看到我们能够让那些曾经一直在使用私有软件工作的人能够真正的明白他们在开源如软件社区所从事的事情的巨大价值。
### 我认为2016年对于开源Haiku的进一步增长是具有重大意义的一年。通过Haiku来向新手解释OpenStack。
**PB**: 如果你喜欢自由软件你可以向OpenStack提交你的第一个补丁。
**CA**: 在不久的未来OpenStack将以统治世界的姿态让这个世界变得更好。
**EKJ**: OpenStack是一个可以免费部署在你的服务器上面并且运行你自己的云的一个软件。
*Paul,Elizabeth和Christopher将会在4月25号星期一上午1115于奥斯汀举办的OpenStack峰会上进行演说。
