Project Occam is a power control, provisioning, and management application designed to deploy both bare-metal and virtual computer resources. Occam provides broker plugins for integration with third party such as Puppet.
This is a 0.x release, so the CLI and API is still in flux and may change. Make sure you read the release notes before upgrading
Project Occam is versioned with semantic versioning, and we follow the precepts of that document. Right now that means that breaking changes are permitted to both the API and internals, although we try to keep compatibility as far as reasonably possible.
We really want Occam to be simple to contribute to, and to ensure that you can get started quickly. A big part of that is being available to help you figure out the right way to solve a problem, and to make sure you get up to speed quickly.
You can always reach out and ask for help:
- by email or through the web on the [email protected] mailing list. (membership is required to post.)
- by IRC, through #puppet-occam on freenode.
If you want to help improve Occam directly we have a fairly detailed CONTRIBUTING guide in the repository that you can use to understand how code gets in to the system, how the project runs, and how to make changes yourself.
We welcome contributions at all levels, including working strictly on our documentation, tests, or code contributions. We also welcome, and value, input about your experiences with Project Occam, and provisioning in general, on the mailing list as we discuss how the project should solve problems.
