Hi everybody!
I sent an e-mail to Daniel asking about contributing to the libvirt community for free. So, I copied the e-mail to the libvirt mailing list as Daniel suggested me. If anyone can help me I'd be pleased.
Welcome to the community.
I'd suggest starting off by reading http://libvirt.org/hacking.html and http://libvirt.org/governance.html to get more of a feel for what contributions involve.
Among other things, we prefer working in the open (keep the list in the loop), which is why Daniel was right to redirect your 1-on-1 email back to the list instead of answering you outright.
And if something didn't make sense, point it out - you aren't the only new person, so we'd like to fix it to make it easier for the next reader!
- Can I fix a random open bug?
Sure. There's plenty of bugs out there, but it may be easiest to start with one that you can personally reproduce.
Just to give you a starting point: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&component=libvirt&query_format=advanced Feel free to pick a random bug and try to fix it. If the bug you've picked is not easy to fix, just repeat the process. BTW: when fixing a tracked bug we find it very helpful to include the bug ID somewhere in the commit message, so we can close the bug later. Michal
