can start by fixing some
simple bugs, can you point me on them?

As with many projects we aren't very good at maintaining them, but
there are two places that should be good to start:
1) go to tracker.ceph.com and search for tickets marked as new-dev
(http://tracker.ceph.com/search?utf8=3D=E2=9C=93&q=3Dnew-dev)
2) wiki.ceph.com has a chum bucket "maintained" by the community:
https://wiki.ceph.com/Development/Chum_Bucket

I would avoid the copy-on-read feature in the chum bucket for now, but
the rest will introduce you to several very different pieces of the
code base.

Aside: you might be better off figuring out if there are specific
(small!) things you want Ceph to do and working from there; it's a big
project with a bunch of different kinds of things to do.
