Get Involved with the oVirt Project! Autumn 2016 Edition
by Sandro Bonazzola
Hi,
Have you got some free time? Do you want to get involved in the oVirt
project?
Do you like the idea of having fresh disk images of your favorite
distribution in the oVirt Glance repository?
You can help by testing existing online images ensuring they work with
cloud-init,
or creating one yourself and report your success to devel(a)ovirt.org.
We'll be happy to upload the images once these are ready.
Do you like Debian? Do you have some programming or packaging skills?
Help getting Vdsm running on it! There is some on-going work [14
<https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/debian-support-...>]
on inclusion of Vdsm into Debian.
We wish to test and fix Vdsm Debian packages to make them working before
the next Debian freeze.
You can find all current Debian work (Vdsm and related packages) in Debian
git repositories [10 <http://git.debian.org>].
You can follow the progress and participate on oVirt development mailing
list [11 <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel>].
Here are some bugs you can try to help with:

Do you want to have packages included in your preferred distribution? Help
getting oVirt ported there!

Do you love DevOps? You count stable builds in jenkins ci while trying to
fall asleep?
Then oVirt infra team is looking for you! Join the infra team and dive in
to do the newest and coolest devops tools today!
Here are some of our open tasks you can help with:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=6
You can also help by sharing how you use oVirt in your DevOps environment

Do you want to improve oVirt System Testing[15] and the Lago[16] system
running them?
We have all the documentation[17] you need to get started! Check it out and
run the test suite yourself!
You don't have programming skills, not enough time for DevOps, but still
want to contribute?
Here are some bugs you can take care of, also without writing a line of
code:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=classification%3Aovir...
Do you prefer to test things? We have some test cases[5
<http://www.ovirt.org/develop/infra/testing/>] you can try, using nightly
snapshots[6
<http://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/>].
For 4.1 we're rebasing Fedora support on Fedora 24, you can help by running
nightly snapshots[6
<http://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/>] on it
and reporting issues.
Do you want to contribute test cases? Most of the features[7
<http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/>] included in
oVirt are missing a test case, you're welcome to contribute one!
Do you want to contribute artworks? oVirt Live backgrounds and covers,
release banners, stickers, .... Take a look at Fedora Artworks[9
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork#Resources>] as an example of what
you can do
Do you love alternative architectures? You can test ppc64le and aarch64
packages from CentOS Virt SIG:
-
https://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-ovirt-40-release/ppc64le/

You can start from here [1 <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/>][2
<http://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/working-with-gerrit/>]!
You don't know gerrit very well? You can find some more docs here [3
<https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation>].
Any other question about development? Feel free to ask on devel(a)ovirt.org
or on irc channel[4].
You don't really have time / skills for any development / documentation /
testing related task?
