GSoC 2017 project CLOUDSTACK-9804
Hi,
I am Shanika Ediriweera and I am a 4th year Computer Science and
Engineering undergraduate of University of Moratuwa. I worked as an intern
in an opensource software company(WSO2 Inc.) for my 3rd year Industrial
training. I have experience in programming, opensource contributing and
problem solving.
I would like to take up the project 'Add Cinder as a storage driver to
Cloudstack' (CLOUDSTACK-9804
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9804>) for GSoC 2017.
How should I get started? What steps do I need to follow?
Best Regards,
Shanika Ediriweera

Hi Shanika,
My apologies for seeing this late. As Sergey suggested, your next steps are
to create a proposal. If you are interested in more than one project, I'd
say you create proposals for each one of them. This way when we review,
you'd have a higher chance of getting in. Look at the Wiki for example
proposals. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK In the
sidebar, see the Design Documents * sections to see examples. Feel free to
post here or on slack if you need help understanding the bits.
Thanks,
-Syed

Sure, Proposal is the right next step. In this email I attached some of recent proposals discussed here.
Thanks,

Hi Sergey,
I went through the guides and the existing drivers Solidfire (
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/master/plugins/storage/volume/solidfire/src/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/datastore)
and cloudbyte (
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/master/plugins/storage/volume/cloudbyte/src/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/datastore
).
Shall I start making my proposal?
Any advise on it?
Thank you.

Hi Shanika,
That’s great. You can start by reviewing Cloudstack development guide
https://cloudstack.apache.org/developers.html
as well as API and programming resources
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/dev.html
ACS source code is here
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cloudstack.git
with mirror at https://github.com/apache/cloudstack
Some of the design documents available here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Home
under Developers->Design
Writing a storage driver from scratch will be a huge undertaking so you can consider using one of the existing ones as a prototype e.g. SolidFire or CloudByte.
This dev@ mail list is the one you should use if you have questions or wants other people input or opinion.
Good luck,
Sergey
