Open Stack

Hi Darshan,
Having just finished writing a volume driver i can say you need a lot of
patience.
First, to quickly answer your questions:
1. Read ALL the drivers in the official repo: (
https://github.com/openstack/cinder/tree/master/cinder/volume/drivers) and
how they relate to the cinder-api (
https://github.com/openstack/cinder/tree/master/cinder/api); then look into
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Cinder), especially the part about plugins
and "configuring devstack to user your driver and backend);
2. As far as i could tell, python is the only way.
3. You should try devstack (it's easier to setup, quicker, and always gives
you latest code so you can develop against the latest version).

After that, the rest is just "bureaucracy" :) (become a contributor, sign
up for some services, get your code reviewed on gerrit, etc).

Hope this helps,

Eduard
