This book is undergoing a custom edit with O'Reilly publishing and we welcome contributions to make it as accurate as possible. Our target is the Havana release.

The style guide to follow is at chimera.labs.oreilly.com.

Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing, and encourages you to join the OpenStack Foundation. The best way to get involved with the community is to talk with others online or at a meetup and offer contributions through our processes, the OpenStack wiki, blogs, or on IRC at #openstack on irc.freenode.net.

Install the python tox package and run "tox" from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

• tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests
• tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks
• tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced
• tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual
• tox -e buildlang -- $LANG - to build the manual for language $LANG

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests.
