Open Source Summit Europe + ELC Europe 2017

OpenDaylight community is growing but contributions in some ares/pockets are still on the lower side. The biggest factor is lack of knowledge on how to contribute to an open source project in general and OpenDaylight in particular. We , having been associated with Opendaylight since its inception intend to share our learnings from various projects like OFPlugin, Vpnservice, Netvirt, Genius, with the Indian networking and SDN community .This talk is targeted towards attracting new contributors and helping existing ones to be more engaged with the community.It will also involve discussing the ODL community structure, how to get involved in the discussions- mailing lists, irc, meetings, pulling and getting involved with the code ,contributing fixes and proposing new projects. The project structure, delivery milestones, and current best practices for code contribution will also be discussed.
