[ovirt-devel] Get involved in oVirt project! Summer edition

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi,
    Summer is here and vacations are near! Have you got some free time and do you want to get involved in oVirt project?

Do you like the idea of having fresh disk images of recent distribution in oVirt Gluster repository?
You can help us by testing existing online images (like https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/download/) ensuring they works with cloud-init
or creating one yourself and report your success to devel at ovirt.org.
We'll be happy to upload the images once these are ready.


Do you like Debian and do you have some programming skill?
Help us getting VDSM running on it! Debian Jessie has been released a couple of weeks ago and it's a good time for giving it a try.
You can follow the progress here: http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM_on_Debian

Here are some bugs you can hopefully fix in less that one day or you can just try to reproduce providing info:

Bug ID	Status		Whiteboard	Summary
1065350	POST		integration	hosted-engine should prompt a question at the user when the host was already a host in the engine
1059952	NEW		integration	hosted-engine --deploy (additional host) will fail if the engine is not using the default self-signed CA
1083104	ASSIGNED	integration	engine-setup --offline does not update versionlock
1221176 NEW		integration	hosted-engine accepts FQDNs with underscore while the engine correctly fails on that

Do you love "DevOps?", you count stable builds in jenkins ci while trying to fall a sleep?
Then oVirt infra team is looking for you!, join the infra team and dive in to do the newest and coolest devops tools today!
Here are some of our open tasks you can help with: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=1&projectKey=OVIRT


You don't have programming skills, not enough time for DevOps but you want still to contribute?
Here are some bugs you can take care of, also without writing a line of code:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3Aovirt%20whiteboard%3Adocs

Do you prefer to test things? We have some test cases[5] you can try using nightly snapshots[6].
You may also help testing: Bug 1234257 - Test upgrade path from EL6 with oVirt 3.5.z to EL7


Do you want to contribute test cases? Most of the features[7] included in oVirt are missing a test case, you're welcome to contribute one!

Is this the first time you try to contribute to oVirt project?
You can start from here [1][2]!

You don't know gerrit very well? You can find some more docs here [3].

Any other question about development? Feel free to ask on devel at ovirt.org or on irc channel[4].

You don't really have time / skills for any development / documentation / testing related task?
Spread the word[8]!

Let us know you're getting involved, present yourself and tell us what you're going to do, you'll be welcome!
