====== Contributing to the Cloud Standards and Interoperability Wiki ======

//Standards and Interoperability// is a task in the GÉANT 3+ SA7 activity titled //Support to clouds.//  Therefore, contributions are mainly expected from members of the GÉANT community.

===== Gaining Access =====

 As such, likely editors are expected to be members of federations connected to [[http://services.geant.net/edugain/Pages/Home.aspx|eduGAIN]].

==== Already an eduGAIN member ====

In case you have an account in an eduGAIN [[http://www.edugain.org/technical/status.php|member federation]], you need to request access at the [[https://perun.metacentrum.cz/edugain/registrar/?vo=einfra&targetnew=https://perun.metacentrum.cz/edugain/registrar/%3Fvo=einfra%26group=cloudstandards&targetexisting=https://perun.metacentrum.cz/edugain/registrar/%3Fvo=einfra%26group=cloudstandards|'cloudstanrads' group enrolment page]]. Once your application is accepted you will be able to go straight to the [[index|Cloud Standards wiki]] and log in through your home federation.

Please bear in mind that the applications are screened and accepted manually. It takes some time before the application is accepted and you can start editing the wiki.

==== Not an eduGAIN member? ====

You may create an account at CESNET. Account creation is subject to rules which you need to observe. Once you have an active account, request editors' group membership as described in the previous step. Apply for an account [[https://perun.metacentrum.cz/fed/registrar/?vo=einfra&targetnew=https://perun.metacentrum.cz/fed/registrar/%3Fvo=einfra%26group=cloudstandards&targetexisting=https://perun.metacentrum.cz/fed/registrar/%3Fvo=einfra%26group=cloudstandards|here]].

===== Contributing =====

Any contribution is welcome from people who know what they are writing about!
==== Adding Items ====

Add items you know of (standards, related work, case studies). Do not forget to **tag** your additions correctly so that they appear in summaries and views. Check out the [[tags|listing of tags]] to see which to use.

==== Commenting ====

Comment on any document by appending your comments to the end of the text. Clearly state who you are and what is your experience with the given item. Notify other editors if you want to spark discussion or you wish your comments reviewed.

==== Adding Views ====

Add views you find useful. Incorporate other building blocks either by linking to them or including them directly. Do not forget to **tag** your document correctly so that it appears in summaries.
