The contribution and feedback from our User Community is fundamental to the OpenNebula project. There are several ways that you can get involved and contribute to the open-source project - from giving advice and technical support to other users, to developing components and tools around the OpenNebula core, so check it out and get started!

A. Use OpenNebula

By using the last stable release of the technology, following its design, installation and operation guides, and being active within the discussions in the Community Forum or IRC to ask questions, provide suggestions or criticism, or answer other user questions, you become part of the growing OpenNebula community.

• Release Schedule and Packages
• Release Policy
• Product Roadmap
• QA & Testing
• Documentation Archives

We look forward to your feedback - reporting code and documentation bugs, and making feature requests are critical parts of the project.

B. Code OpenNebula

We use GitHub for coordinating the software development. If you haven’t already, create a GitHub account and subscribe to the Community Forum. You can help with the development of the technology by:

• Providing patches for bugfixes, minor enhancements, and new features
• Using and testing the development version of the software
• Reviewing the software documentation
• Helping us translate our web-based user interfaces

OpenNebula is fully open-source software distributed and licensed for use under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. You need to sign your work before we can contribute it to OpenNebula.

C. Create an Add-on

OpenNebula Add-ons are extensions (tools, interfaces or drivers) contributed by the community that broaden the capabilities and platform technologies and services with which OpenNebula can interface, from support for new hypervisors, monitoring tools, authentication services, networking devices or storage subsystems to access to cloud commercial offerings for cloud bursting.
