Contributions and feedback from the OpenNebula Community are essential to maintain and expand OpenNebula. There are several ways in which you can get involved and contribute to this open source project—from giving advice and technical support to fellow users, to developing components and tools around the OpenNebula core—so check it out and get started!

A. Use OpenNebula

We appreciate when our users not only download the latest stable release of our technology and use the associated guides, tutorials and white papers, but also when they take an active role in the discussions and conversations that take place at our Community Forum. By asking questions, by providing feedback, suggestions or criticism, or simply by answering other users' questions, you become part of the ever-growing, global 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, or submitting new feature requests, are all critical aspects of any open source project, and OpenNebula is no exception to the rule.

You can check our Vulnerability Management Process to know how to report a vulnerability privately to the OpenNebula developers and to learn more about the process we follow to 1) fix it, and 2) communicate security issues to our users and customers.

B. Code OpenNebula

We use GitHub for coordinating the development of OpenNebula. If you haven’t done it yet, you are more than welcome to create a GitHub free account and join our Community Forum.

There are several ways in which you can help with the development of OpenNebula:

• Providing minor enhancements, new features, and patches for bugfixes
• Testing and reviewing the development version of the software
• Reviewing the software documentation
• Helping us translate Sunstone, OpenNebula's graphical user interface (GUI)

OpenNebula is an open source product and it is distributed and licensed under the terms of the Apache License version 2.0. Remember that you need to sign your work before we can incorporate it into OpenNebula.

C. Create an Add-on

OpenNebula Add-ons are third-party, community extensions (tools, interfaces or drivers) that broaden the capabilities, technologies and services OpenNebula interacts with (e.g. support for new hypervisors, monitoring tools, authentication services, networking devices, storage subsystems, drivers to access cloud commercial offerings for cloud bursting, etc.).
