Kazoo Community Getting Started Guide

Who Can Contribute?

Everyone can!

Do I have to know Erlang?

Of course not! We have many different places where folks can chip in time. These include (but aren't limited to):

• Maintaining and expanding the wiki
• Blogging, tweeting, and other forms of publicizing your usage of and love for the platform, code, company, community, etc.
• Join us in real time and help other community members:
  • on IRC (#2600hz on Freenode)
  • our Users mailing list
  • our Developers mailing list
  • our Forum
• Contribute scripts to the community repo
• Help with building RPMs, DEBs, and other system packages
• Help with Chef, bluepill, and other OPS-related tasks
• Browse the open Issues and test bugs to see if they're valid

I know other languages! Can I still help code?

Programming-related help

• Check out our GUI and write some Javascript.
• Check out our REST APIs and write SDKs in your favorite languages
• Check out our Pivot APIs and write SDKs in your favorite languages
• Check out our AMQP APIs and write your own whapps on your Kazoo install
• Write some automated testing tools for testing the APIs
• Write some SIPp test scripts to test the full stack

Non-English Language help

Translation efforts are always appreciated. We're working on redesigning how our back- and front-ends handle the world's languages and hope to make it easy to contribute translations. Stay tuned for more; please let us know of your interest and be sure to join the mailing lists so you can receive announcements regarding internationalization efforts.
