Hey Shane,

I'm glad you're on board!

I recommend you first to login to the gerrit.ovirt.org instance as a user
(either google or openid will do) so you'll be able to start sending
patches, as almost all of our work is done via patches,
including jenkins jobs.

Are you familiar with the jenkins server [1] ? and the jenkins job builder
project? [2]
Most of our jobs in jenkins are what we called "yamelized", which means
thier source code is in git and deployed by JJB, which means its very easy
to write and deploy new jobs,
without even needing to login to jenkins.

A cool task for you could be starting to move all the jobs in jenkins that
are not yamelized yet, for e.g:

a jenkins job which is not yamelized:
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-log-collector_3.5_gerrit/ (you can see
it's description is empty)
a jenkins job which is yamelized:
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/lago_master_check-patch-fc22-x86_64/ (notice
the desc: This job is automatically updated by jenkins job builder, ....)

all jobs yaml files are stored in the git repo:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=jenkins.git;a=tree;f=jobs/confs/yaml;h=2162020c5dd9912e0327e58be935af688d0ceb82;hb=refs/heads/master
it takes some time to understand the way it structured, but once you get it
its pretty simple.

Is that something you might be interested in taking on?
if not, we have some other goodies, such as writing puppet code or
installing services.

let me know what you'd like to work on,

Eyal.
