Hi,can we work on some projects to extend support of oVirt directly on
other
operating systems like windows.
Thanks Suramya for sharing this :)
Suramya is interested in the ourt outreachy program (
http://www.ovirt.org/community/activities/outreachy/ )
and she's posting her ideas about possible projects - I asked her to do
that.
Suramya, do you have interested in any of the ideas listed in
http://www.ovirt.org/community/activities/outreachy/
?
The ideas I selected are self-contained and there are very good chances one
applicant can make
good progress with them in few months time.
So far it seems the ideas you share are bigger in span, so we they seem
less ideal for the outreachy
program, they both can take few release cycle to get done.
You are most welcome if you want to elaborate them and to add details about
them, for example the steps
needed to implement them, but I'd suggest to spend some time investigating
the ones I listed, and perhaps
build from there; that could be easier to achieve.
Thanks,

Thanks for sharing this info sir...yes sir I am interested in the projects
mentioned by you I want to know how to get started and make my first initial
contribution (which is a must for the application part).
Thanks,
Suramya
Hello Suramya,
I suggest you to spend some time downloading the Vdsm codebase and looking around, 
running the tests and so forth; this step will be beneficial for your contributions, 
including the initial one (as per https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/#apply). 

You can download the sources using 

git clone https://gerrit.ovirt.org/vdsm 

(You don't need a gerrit account or special permissions for this step, but you'll 
need this for actual submission and to take part to the review process, later on). 
The application task will follow up as soon as possible. 

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

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

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