Seeking for Mentor

Seeking for Mentor

[Cheng Cheng]

Hi Ceph Developers,

I am just starting to use Ceph and find it is a great platform for
hosting VM storage.

As I want to dive further and learn more about Ceph, I want to take a
starter task to familiarize myself with Ceph codebase. In particular,
I found this copy-on-read is an interesting task
(https://wiki.ceph.com/Planning/Sideboard/rbd%3A_copy-on-read_for_clones).

However I find it is hard to get my hands dirty without mentorship. So
I am wondering can anyone give me some bootstrap about how to
contribute to Ceph and how to setup developing environment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Cheng

I'd be happy to help. Would you like to start with a chat on irc.oftc.net#ceph ? My nick is loicd.

This feature has been done and currently undergoing review
with its 3rd version. Nevertheless, we are pleasure to give any help.
BTW, Sage, Could you please take a little bit time to review the patch
we submitted one month ago.

Cheers,
Li Wang

Hi Wang,

Thanks for replying!

If it is undergoing reviewing process, then can I also join for the
code reviewing so I can get some sense about how to contribute?

I also would like to contribute for other optimizations on RBD. I saw
a three-year old thread
(http://marc.info/?l=ceph-devel&m=129867273303846&q=raw) regarding the
optimizations in RBD layering, and am wondering what is the current
status for those optimizations mentioned. Maybe I can take a look on
those topics.

Thanks!
Cheng
