[ovirt-devel] Get involved in oVirt project! Autumn edition

Hi, Autumn is coming and with it will come the next 3.6.0 release and will start the next major release cycle. Have you got some free time and do you want to get involved in oVirt project? Do you like the idea of having fresh disk images of recent distribution in oVirt Glance repository? You can help us by testing existing online images (like https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/download/) ensuring they works 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 and do you have some programming skill? Help us getting VDSM running on it! We started releasing highly experimental packages and it's a good time for giving them a try.
