Setup Your Task Tracker Account

Nota

The OpenStack community is currently in the process of moving from the bug tracking software Launchpad to StoryBoard. Further in the project specific on-boarding documentation, give special attention to if the project is using Launchpad or StoryBoard. If your project is still using Launchpad you will want to take notice of the Launchpad section later in this document.

A Task Tracker account allows you to:

  • Report bugs

  • Create stories for new features (Process varies per project)

  • Track progress on bugs and new features

What is Launchpad?

Launchpad is the legacy way the OpenStack community does bug tracking since we started moving towards StoryBoard.
