I'm curious to know if LibVirt & VirtManager is being
developed only
by RedHat employees only. If not, what is the process for developers
who wish to contribute to these projects. Also, I'd like to know how
and by whom decisions are made for new features to be included in
these projects.
While Red Hat employees started the initial development in both projects,
there have since been many many difference people involved in writing
code for both - just take a look at the AUTHORS files and you'll see people
from all over. The more diverse the group of people the better, because it
means we get a wider range of views & use cases catered for.
For anyone wishing to get involved, best bet is the mailing lists - this
list for libvirt, or et-mgmt-tools(a)redhat.com for virt-manager[1]. There
are open discussions about new features on the mailing list where anyone is
free to take part.
For libvirt there was a thread started by Daniel just last week to come up
with plans for what the next priorities are for development. You can see
the thread in the archives
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/msg00103.html
For virt-manager we've got a list of items we'd like to see developed on the
project website:
http://virt-manager.org/roadmap.html
So in summary, if you've got ideas & suggestion and want to get involved
don't hesistate to mail either project's list :-)
Regards,
Dan.
