Get Involved with the oVirt Project! Spring 2017 Edition
by Sandro Bonazzola 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hi, Got some time to spare? Join us on the oVirt project! oVirt is a feature rich server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities. It also provides a crucial venue for user and developer cooperation, and is the first truly open and comprehensive data center virtualization management initiative. If you are new to oVirt, we recommend that you visit the develop <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/> page to learn more about the project, and the working with Gerrit <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/working-with-gerrit/> page for more about our code review system. If you haven’t worked with Gerrit before, we recommend you visit the introduction to Gerrit <https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation> page. On our community page <https://www.ovirt.org/community/> you’ll discover the many ways in which you can contribute to the project, even without programming skills. More suggestions? Below you’ll find other ways in which you can contribute to the oVirt project. Keep ‘em Fresh Like the idea of having fresh disk images of your favorite distribution in the oVirt Glance repository? You can help in two ways: First, test existing online images to ensure that they work with cloud-init. Second, create an online image and report your success to devel(a)ovirt.org. We’ll be happy to upload the images once they are ready. Get Vdsm Running on Debian If you like Debian and have programming or packaging skills, you can help with the ongoing effort to get VDSM running on Debian <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/debian-support-fo…>. All the current work on Debian (VDSM and related packages) can be found in the Debian git repositories <http://git.debian.org/>. You can also keep up to date on how the work is progressing by subscribing to the oVirt devel mailing list <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel>. Fix Some Bugs These bugs are just waiting to be resolved: Bug ID Summary 1411133 Hosted-Engine: iscsi activation storage failing 1209881 [RFE] Remove iptables from hosted-engine.spec file to be able to deploy hosted-engine without firewall services installed 1353713 [RFE] - iSCSI Setup Should use different User/Password For Discovery and Portal 1130445 [TEXT] - If engine-setup asks for updates and choice is no, suggest '--offline' on re-run. 1174236 [RFE] Integrate installation with Server Roles of Fedora Server 1356425 [TEXT] 'hosted-engine --vm-start' said it destroyed the VM 1328488 The engine fails with oracle java8 Port oVirt to Your Favorite Distribution Are you sure-handed at packaging software, and using a distribution currently unsupported by oVirt? Help to get oVirt ported to any of the following distributions: Fedora <http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2015-September/011426.html> CentOS <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Virtualization> Gentoo <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt>. Also, check out Google Summer of Code <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas> to learn how you can contribute to Gentoo and get paid for it!
