<para>During set up or testing, you might have questions about

how to do something or be in a situation where a feature

does not work correctly. Use the <link

get answers. When you visit the <link

|
|
your question was already answered. If not, ask a new question. Be sure

<para>A great way to get answers and insights is to post your

<title>The Launchpad Bugs area</title>

<para>So you think you've found a bug. That's great!

Seriously, it is. The OpenStack community values your set

up and testing efforts and wants your feedback. To log a
|
|
bug, you must sign up for a Launchpad account at <link

xlink:href="https://launchpad.net/+login"
|
|
>https://launchpad.net/+login</link>. You can view
|
|
existing bugs and report bugs in the Launchpad Bugs area.
|
|
Use the search feature to determine whether the bug was
|
|
already reported (or even better, already fixed). If it
|
|
still seems like your bug is unreported, fill out a bug
|

report.</para>

<title>The OpenStack IRC channel</title>
|
|
<para>The OpenStack community lives and breathes in the
|
|
#openstack IRC channel on the Freenode network. You can
|
|
hang out, ask questions, or get immediate feedback for
|
|
urgent and pressing issues. To install an IRC client or
|
|
use a browser-based client, go to <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://webchat.freenode.net"
|
|
>http://webchat.freenode.net/</link>. You can also use
|
|
Colloquy (Mac OS X, <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://colloquy.info/"
|
|
>http://colloquy.info/</link>), mIRC (Windows, <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://www.mirc.com/"
|
|
>http://www.mirc.com/</link>), or XChat (Linux). When
|
|
you are in the IRC channel and want to share code or
|
|
command output, the generally accepted method is to use a
|
|
Paste Bin. The OpenStack project has one at <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://paste.openstack.org"
|
|
>http://paste.openstack.org</link>. Just paste your
|
|
longer amounts of text or logs in the web form and you get
|
|
a URL you can paste into the channel. The OpenStack IRC
|
|
channel is: <literal>#openstack</literal> on
|
|
<literal>irc.freenode.net</literal>. You can find a
|
|
list of all OpenStack-related IRC channels at <link
