In order to contribute to the ceilometer project, you will also need to:

  1. Have signed openstack's contributor's agreement

Setting up the project

  1. The first thing you will need to do is to clone the ceilometer project on your local machine:

  2. Once this is done, you need to setup the review process:

    git remote add gerrit ssh://<username>@review.stackforge.org:29418/stackforge/ceilometer.git

  3. Create a topic branch and switch to it

    git checkout -b TOPIC-BRANCH
