There are a few things to keep in mind:
------------------------------------------------------
-The timeline: Check 0. Note that there are evaluations throughout the program and that if progress is not satisfactory you can be dropped from the program. Hopefully with terrific mentoring from us all at CloudStack this will not happen and you will finish the program with flying colors.

...

-IRC: For daily conversation and help, we use IRC. Install an IRC client and join the #cloudstack and #cloudstack-dev on irc.freenode.net 1. Make yourself none and learn a few IRC tricks.

-JIRA: Our ticketing system is JIRA 2, create an account and browse JIRA, you should already know where your project is described (which ticket number ?). As you start working you will create tickets and subtasks that will allow us to track progress. Students having to work on Mesos, Whirr and Provisionr will be able to use the same account.

-Review Board 3: This is the web interface to submit patches when you are not an official Apache committer. Create an account on review board.

-Git: To manage the CloudStack source code we use git 4. You will need to become familiar with git. I strongly recommend that you create a personal github 5 account. If you are not already familiar with git, check my screencast 6.

-Wiki: All our developer content is on our wiki 7. Browse it, get an account and create a page about your project in the Student Project page 8.

-Website: I hope you already know our website 9

-CloudStack University: To get your started and get a tour of CloudStack, you can watch CloudStack University 10

Expectations for bonding period:
--------------------------------------------
*To get you on-board I would like to ask each of you to send an email introducing yourself in couple sentences, describe your project (couple sentences plus link to the JIRA entry and the wiki page you created), confirm that you joined IRC and if you registered a nick tell us what it is and finally confirm that you created an account on review board and JIRA.

...

On behalf of everyone at CloudStack and especially your mentors (Abhi, Kelcey, Hugo and myself) , welcome and let's have fun coding.
