Re: [ovirt-devel] Interest in contributing to oVirt
Hello Yaniv, Thanks very much for the response. I am currently trying to develop a proposal for this project but I have not yet been able to successfully setup oVirt. I just realized I could not install the oVirt-engine an Ubuntu 14, so I am currently trying to download and install Fedora 23, where I intend to setup the oVirt-engine. I would then use another machine with Ubuntu for the host. Please with respect to this project I would like to know if I am also required compile and install the source code for oVirt-engine or do I only need to build and install ovirt4cli.

Hi Konrad,
I'm very happy to hear that and wish you good luck with the project.
I think it'd be best if you can begin with familiarizing yourself with oVirt. If you have few computers around, it should be fairly easy to set it up. If you have a single computer, you can set up Lago[1] and ovirt-system-test[2] to bring up an environment as well.
The (very basic) code for ovirt4cli is available on my github[3] - I have just created a very basic framework as a proof of concept - feel free to fork and modify it. Specifically, I think we should re-work it to share more code with our Ansible code[4].
Let me know if there's anything I can help you with in the project! Y.

Hello,
My name is Konrad Djimeli a third year Computer Science Student at the University of Buea, Cameroon. I am interested in contributing to oVirt and I would like to work on the Google Summer of Code project "ovirt4cli". I am very comfortable working with Python and I have experience working with web services like REST.
Please I would appreciate any suggestion on how to get started and to better familiarize myself with the project.

I would warmly suggest an EL7 (such as CentOS 7.3) operating system.

You don't need to compile, just have an installed oVirt - the pointers below should allow you to easily set it up in a virtual machines (on Fedora 25 or CentOS 7.3 for example) and then you can develop ovirt4cli on the host (that's what I did initially). Let me know if you face any issues I can help you with with setting up Lago or ovirt-system-tests on your host. Y.
Thanks Konrad
