And I have contributed to a couple of opensource projects the past few years. And now, having known about openstack a little more, l would like to contribute to OpenStack and gain more knowledge in the process. I started with the getting started tasks and there is one task which says "create an openstack profile". This asks for an affiliation which I don't have. So does that mean, I am not eligible for contributions? Thanks, Sharan Kumar M -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
