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.
