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, -- Didi
