[ovirt-devel] Get Involved in oVirt Project! October edition

Fri Oct 9 14:52:15 UTC 2015

Hi,
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 Glance repository?
You can help us by testing existing online images 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! We started releasing highly
experimental packages and it's a good time for giving them a try.
You can follow the progress here: http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM_on_Debian

Here are some bugs you can try to help with:

Do you prefer to test things? We have some test cases[5] you can try using
nightly snapshots[6].

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!

Do you want to contribute artworks? oVirt Live backgrounds and covers,
release banners, stickers, .... Take a look at Fedora Artworks[9] as an
example of what you can do

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!
