Hello Everyone,

I’m currently a python developer looking to assist more on Ansible and grow my development background. Does anyone have any recommendations on getting started and how to get going with contributing to Ansible?

I have a infrastructure background as well already which could prove useful I believe in contributing.

The best way is normally to just look at open issues, see if there is something that looks small and in your bailiwick and try to tackle it.

There is also an #ansible-devel channel in IRC if you want quick response to questions.
