Hello,
I am Maithreyi Gopal, from Nuremberg, Germany. I am looking to start
contributing to open source projects and would like to introduce myself to
you.
I have a lot of Software Development Experience to offer. I have a few
years of experience working with infrastructure teams on the Cisco ASR9k
routers. I have a Masters in Networking and Design
I currently work on developing drivers and communication protocols for
image transfer at Siemens Healthcare.
I want to be able to use my background to start contributing to open
source and learn new technologies. I come with no prior open source
contributions. If somebody is willing to point me in the right direction
and probably help me with an easy first contribution, I would really
appreciate it. I am most proficient in C and python.
Do you use Open Source in your daily work? At home? Elsewhere? Do you use
oVirt?
Personally, I think it's best to start contributing to software you
actually use.
If you are interested in oVirt, you should probably start by looking around
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/ .
If in "easy first contribution" you refer to a code change/patch, then I
might warn you that it's not really that "easy", if you have no experience
with oVirt and related technologies as a user, first. I think it took me
around a month, back then...
Good luck and best regards,
