Ganglia Participate
The Ganglia project is an Open Source project licensed under the BSD license. One of the project's purposes is to development systems monitoring software in an open and welcoming environment. To fulfill this purpose, the Ganglia project is governed as a meritocracy which basically means that if you are willing to help produce high quality systems monitoring software and contribute to the Ganglia project, the project is willing to help and support you in that effort. It's that simple. The bottom line is that everybody is welcome to participate with the Ganglia project no matter what your skill level is or how much time you have to contribute. For more information about the various project roles and responsibilites, please see the "Roles" section of the Ganglia project page.
- Read the information on the [[Documents|Ganglia-Documents] page
- Post questions and comments to the Ganglia-General or Ganglia-Developers mailing list or check the archives (General / Dev)
- Post questions and comments to the Ganglia Web Forums.
- Familiarize yourself with the project and code, perhaps submit a few bugfix patches.
- As with most open-source projects, please start by contributing patches or a concept of what you plan to develop. People who have proven to consistently deliver working quality code, may be granted commit access to the svn repository.
- Select an unassigned task, propose a new idea, submit a patch and get to work :).
- Fork a repo at GitHub and contribute gmetric scripts, Python DSO plugin modules or any other enhancements.
There is currently a Wish-List of items that the Ganglia project developers would like to see completed. This wish list is a very good place to start. The web front end is also in need of a face-lift. Any new ideas, patches, code, concepts on how to improve the web front end would be greatly appreciated. As in most open source projects, code speaks very loudly. If you have an enhancement idea, we would like to hear about it. But if you have code to back up that enhancement, there is nothing we love more than seeing new and cool stuff working.
