Glance Contributors +====================== + +`Glance`_ is a service to manage images for OpenStack clouds. It's one of the +early projects in OpenStack and it's deployed in almost every OpenStack cloud. +Without Glance, Nova can't boot instances. + +Glance is struggling to find new contributors that would be willing to provide +reviews, to work on bugs or to work on new features. This struggle started as a +result of the latest lay-offs that happened at the end of 2016 and beginning of +2017. + +Glance is a great project to ramp up on OpenStack and it's a great project for +developers regardless of their experience. Glance has welcomed interns, junior +developers, and more senior developers. In every case, it's a great way to grow +and contribute to OpenStack. + +Glance is a critical project in OpenStack. Contributions to the future of the +image registry are essential to the stability of OpenStack. More importantly, +Glance is not "done". There's significant technical debt that needs to be taken +care off and several features that can be implemented. + +Interested?
