Re: [HTCondor-devel] Contributing to HTCondor (GCE_GAHP)

[Doug Strain <dstrain@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Perfect. Thanks! It is good to be working with Condor folks again. For some reason, Brian's response must have only been to htcondor-devel (which I have since joined). Contrary to his assertion, I am not a witch, I am a cyborg. I mean, never mind, what I meant was that I am a perfectly normal Google-human.

Look for some movement in a week or two. It looks like the CLA is approved, so I will send that out. I still need to get the open source patch approved by our Open Source team. In the meantime, two questions:

1) It is likely I need I will need a new condor submit attribute (similar to gce_image or the other gce_* attributes). Do you want a design document for that scale of enhancement?

2) I have some documentation fixes in the manual as well for the gce grid type. I don't see the manual in the source. How do I submit those?

Thanks!

Hi, Doug.
I can help you with contributing improvements to HTCondorâs GCE support.
As Brian said, signing the Contributor License Agreement and grabbing a clone of the git repo is the place to start.
Iâll make an account for you on our GitTrac ticketing system. Thatâs where we track all development on the code.

I wrote most of the GCE code in HTCondor, so you can blame me for any errors or oddities.
You can email me directly with any questions you have.

Thanks and regards,
