Thanks for the anwsers. Well, what I want is to get down & dirty
into
the code. But as I start reading the code, and testing it I can also
support the infrastructure if there's anything to do. I can't be all
day long involved but for sure I will put some hours everyday on the
project. So if you guys think there are some "easier" tasks that I can
help at the infrastructure of the project. Please let me know.
I think the first step is to get oVirt up and running. You will need at
least one node, at least one storage node (but it can be local storage),
and one ovirt-engine. If you have the hardware at home, you can follow
along the oVirt "getting started" guide at
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/File:OVirt-3.0-Installation_Guide-en-US.pdf
The next step would be to get the source code and succeed in building
it. The main components of oVirt in terms of source code are the engine
web application and the VDSM component which enables remote control and
monitoring on the nodes. You can get information about compiling these
in the wiki:
* http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_oVirt_engine
* http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Developers
Please do stop into the #ovirt IRC channel on OFTC if you have any
questions!
Thanks,
Dave.
