new contributor guide

[Pierre-Luc Dion <pd...@apache.org>]

Hi team,

I was wondering if someone would have an idea of which doc a new
contributor should look at when someone want to start contributing to
cloudstack? I haven't contribute in code for some time and I'm lost, and
while working with a university to help us on contributing to cloudstack I
realise we have no easy doc as a new dev member.

things like,
* how to setup a dev station, (devcloud? which version?)
* how to contribute bug fix
* how to contribute new feature.

If we have such info sweet, otherwise, I'm willing to update this part.

Hi Pierre-Luc,

You can have a look at those links for the install and development setup:
- https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/INSTALL.md

- https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Those should get you started. If those aren’t enough and/or you get stuck, come back to the community so we can update those with the missing stuff.

A good first contribution candidate could be changes to those docs as it’s easier to get those extra missing details as a newbie to a project.

Marco
