OpenSolaris Storage Developers

Look through this page and find out what's happening with storage development in the OpenSolaris community.

How can I contribute to the storage community?

Find out about all the current Storage projects and browse the list of new Storage project ideas. If you have an idea for a project, add it to the list.

Hang out one or more of the storage discussion groups depending on what you are interested in-- the storage: discuss group is a good starting point. You can subscribe to any of the discussion groups and have message postings sent to your email address or set up an RSS feed.

Find a bug that you want to fix. If you're new to the Solaris code-base, we suggest you search for bugs with the oss-bite-size keyword. To find out about specific bugs for a particular storage project, send out a request to the project's discuss group.
Send an email to request dash sponsor at opensolaris dot org. Note in the subject that the bug in question is a <Storage Project> bug.

The following instructions are based on the more detailed OGB Project Instantiation page .

For storage, see the OpenSolaris Storage Developers Wish List for storage software project ideas or talk to the Storage community leaders for advice.

Here are some examples:

A Storage Community core contributor will set a timeout for the voting which is no less than 72 hours as per the OpenSolaris constitution
The voting process used for initiating new projects is described in the OpenSolaris Constitution Community Group Voting Procedures

Wait for project page and discussion list to be created by the OpenSolaris Resource Administrator
- For the Storage Community, a core contributor will let you know the project is approved and will send a project creation request to the OpenSolaris Resource Administrator
- Once the project page is created, the core contributor will alert the project team
Update the project page (while in hidden mode) and do the following once it is ready:
- Send a message to the OpenSolaris Resource Administrator asking for the page to be made live (link it to the OpenSolaris Projects page )
- Send a message to the sponsoring community to let them know the project is live
- Announce their project to the opensolaris dash announce at opensolaris dot org mail list
Begin working on project (pointer to how to run a project?)
