Hi, Got some time to spare? Join us on the oVirt project!
oVirt is a feature rich server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities. It also provides a crucial venue for user and developer cooperation, and is the first truly open and comprehensive data center virtualization management initiative. If you are new to oVirt, we recommend that you visit the develop <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/> page to learn more about the project, and the working with Gerrit <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/working-with-gerrit/> page for more about our code review system. If you haven’t worked with Gerrit before, we recommend you visit the introduction to Gerrit <https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation> page. On our community page <https://www.ovirt.org/community/> you’ll discover the many ways in which you can contribute to the project, even without programming skills. More suggestions? Below you’ll find other ways in which you can contribute to the oVirt project. Keep ‘em Fresh Like the idea of having fresh disk images of your favorite distribution in the oVirt Glance repository? You can help in two ways: First, test existing online images to ensure that they work with cloud-init. Second, create an online image and report your success to de...@ovirt.org. We’ll be happy to upload the images once they are ready. Get Vdsm Running on Debian If you like Debian and have programming or packaging skills, you can help with the ongoing effort to get VDSM running on Debian <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/debian-support-for-hosts/>. All the current work on Debian (VDSM and related packages) can be found in the Debian git repositories <http://git.debian.org/>. You can also keep up to date on how the work is progressing by subscribing to the oVirt devel mailing list <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel>. Fix Some Bugs These bugs are just waiting to be resolved: Bug ID Summary 1411133 Hosted-Engine: iscsi activation storage failing 1209881 [RFE] Remove iptables from hosted-engine.spec file to be able to deploy hosted-engine without firewall services installed 1353713 [RFE] - iSCSI Setup Should use different User/Password For Discovery and Portal 1130445 [TEXT] - If engine-setup asks for updates and choice is no, suggest '--offline' on re-run. 1174236 [RFE] Integrate installation with Server Roles of Fedora Server 1356425 [TEXT] 'hosted-engine --vm-start' said it destroyed the VM 1328488 The engine fails with oracle java8 Port oVirt to Your Favorite Distribution Are you sure-handed at packaging software, and using a distribution currently unsupported by oVirt? Help to get oVirt ported to any of the following distributions: Fedora <http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2015-September/011426.html> CentOS <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Virtualization> Gentoo <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt>. Also, check out Google Summer of Code <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas> to learn how you can contribute to Gentoo and get paid for it!

Join us and dive into the latest and coolest DevOps tools today! Check out these open tasks <https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=6.>. You can also help by telling us how you use oVirt in your DevOps environment. Email us at de...@ovirt.org (Please use [DevOps] in the subject line. For more information on oVirt DevOps, visit oVirt infrastructure docs <http://ovirt-infra-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> and oVirt infra documentation <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/infra/infrastructure-documentation/>. Improve the oVirt System Testing Make oVirt system testing <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-system-tests.git;a=summary> - and the Lago system <https://github.com/lago-project/lago> that runs it - even better. Visit Lago project documentation <http://lago.readthedocs.io/en/stable/> to learn how to run the test suite yourself. More Bugs, No Coding Required No time for DevOps and you are not a programer? You can still contribute. Here are some easy bugs to fix <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=classification%3Aovirt%20cf_ovirt_team%3Adocs> that don’t require a single line of code. Tests to Run Do you prefer to test things? Here are some test cases you can try <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/infra/testing/>, using nightly snapshots <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/>. Switching to Fedora 25 For oVirt 4.2, support for Fedora will be based on Fedora 25. You can help to get it ready by running nightly snapshots <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/> and reporting any issues. Create Your Own Test Cases We’d love you to contribute some much needed test cases for oVirt features <http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/>. Get Creative You are welcome to contribute artwork, such as oVirt live backgrounds and covers, release banners, stickers, and t-shirt designs. Check out Fedora artworks <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork#Resources> for inspiration. Get Alternative Into alternative architectures? Test ppc64le <https://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-ovirt-41-release/ppc64le/> and aarch64 <https://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-ovirt-41-release/aarch64/> packages from CentOS Virt SIG. Talk to Us! Feel free to ask any other question about development by emailing us at de...@ovirt.org, or by reaching out on the IRC channel <https://www.ovirt.org/community/>.
