</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hello Suramya,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I suggest you to spend some time downloading the Vdsm codebase and looking around,<br>running the tests and so forth; this step will be beneficial for your contributions,<br>including the initial one (as per https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/#apply).<br><br>You can download the sources using<br><br>git clone https://gerrit.ovirt.org/vdsm<br><br>(You don't need a gerrit account or special permissions for this step, but you'll<br>need this for actual submission and to take part to the review process, later on).<br>The application task will follow up as soon as possible.<br><br>Here are the instructions about how to set up a development environment:<br>http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers/<br><br>I recommend to work on a CentOS 7.2 or Fedora 24 system, either real or virtualized.<br><br>Should you have any question, feel free to post a message here, or ping me<br>on irc (fromani on the #vdsm channel on freenode).</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div><span name="x"></span>Francesco Romani<br>RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D<br>Phone: 8261328<br>IRC: fromani<span name="x"></span><br></div></div></body></html>
