+Introduction
+============
+
+This guide has two aims. First, it should lower the barrier to entry for
+software developers who wish to get involved in the Ceph project. Second,
+it should serve as a reference for Ceph developers.
+
+We assume that readers are already familiar with Ceph (the distributed
+object store and file system designed to provide excellent performance,
+reliability and scalability). If not, please refer to the `project website`_
+and especially the `publications list`_. Another way to learn about what's
+happening in Ceph is to check out our `youtube channel`_ , where we post Tech
+Talks, Code walk-throughs and Ceph Developer Monthly recordings.

+
+Since this document is to be consumed by developers, who are assumed to
+have Internet access, topics covered elsewhere, either within the Ceph
+documentation or elsewhere on the web, are treated by linking. If you
+notice that a link is broken or if you know of a better link, please
+`report it as a bug`_.
