The first step for any level of participation is to get To report issues, propose features, or access the source code repositories, you must obtain a Linux Foundation identity, available at the Linux Foundation Portal, whose entry page is shown in Figure 1. If you do not already have a Linux Foundation identity, select the option to create a new account, and complete the form.
How to Request a Feature or Report a Bug
To find out what issues have already been reported, see Issue Reports. To request a feature or report a bug, follow the procedures described in Issue Management.
Participating as a Developer
There are different kinds of developer roles:
- Developing stand-alone Virtual Functions that integrate with the OpenECOMP environment, most notably, Virtual Network Functions. To develop such Virtual Functions, you may use your own, separate development environment; you are not constrained to using the tools with which OpenECOMP itself is developed. See Creating a Virtual Network Function (VNF).
- Developing semi-autonomous Applications that integrate with the OpenECOMP environment. Such applications generally benefit from linking to the same Common Services that are used by OpenECOMP; Otherwise, they can be developed in a separate environment. See Creating a Portal Application.
- Developing the OpenECOMP Platform itself. This requires the full OpenECOMP development environment. See the Developing OpenECOMP section for instructions on how to get set up and participate.
