# Get Involved

Help us make the RDO community site a great place for users and cloud operators in the Red Hat ecosystem by sharing your OpenStack questions and solutions on [ask.openstack](http://ask.openstack.org), and by adding [the most useful solutions](Troubleshooting) and [stories](Case_studies) to the RDO website.

### Discuss and stay informed

To file bugs against RDO itself, use the [RDO bugzilla](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=RDO).

Participate in the packaging effort by following the [RDO Packaging Documentation](https://openstack.redhat.com/packaging/).

Contribute any packaging and integration patches via [our contributor mailing list](//www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list), [fork us on GitHub](//github.com/redhat-openstack), or propose improvements to OpenStack on [the upstream Launchpad page](//launchpad.net/openstack).
