In order to gain access to the developer tools supporting OPNFV, you must first create a Linux Foundation account. Once your registration is complete, visit the tools page where you will find links to all of the developer tools available and check out these OPNFV tutorial videos. You can also find developer resources on the getting started wiki page and developer onboarding materials here. We hope that you will contribute code, file JIRA tickets, or review other’s work and help us make this a platform that fills the needs of the broader industry. The Linux Foundation account will also enable you to get on-demand infrastructure resources to try out OPNFV or develop on it through our Lab-as-a-Service offering.
Lastly, Open Source Networking User Groups (OSN User Groups) are popping up around the world and are a great way to start working with OPNFV. Learn more.
