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 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,
