Thanks= =3D for sharing this info sir...yes sir I am interested in the projects mentio= =3D ned by you I want to know how to get started and make my first initial cont= =3D ribution (which is a must for the application part).
Thanks,

Hello Suramya,

I suggest you to spend some time downloading the Vdsm codebase and lookin= =3D g around,
running the tests and so forth; this step will be beneficial f= =3D or your contributions,
including the initial one (as per https://www.gno= =3D me.org/outreachy/#apply).

You can download the sources using

= =3D git clone https://gerrit.ovirt.org/vdsm

(You don't need a gerrit acc= =3D ount or special permissions for this step, but you'll
need this for actu= =3D al submission and to take part to the review process, later on).
The app= =3D lication task will follow up as soon as possible.

Here are the instr= =3D uctions about how to set up a development environment:
http://www.ovirt.= =3D org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers/

I recommend to work on = =3D a CentOS 7.2 or Fedora 24 system, either real or virtualized.

Should= =3D you have any question, feel free to post a message here, or ping me
on = =3D irc (fromani on the #vdsm channel on freenode).
