[libvirt] Fwd: Start contributing with Libvirt (Finding a mentor or helpful tips)

[Julio Faracco]

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.

Thanks very much!

Hi Daniel.

My name is Julio and I sent this e-mail because I would like to contribute
with libvirt. Moreover, I follow the libvirt mailing list for a long time
and have read the ideas page of libvirt, qemu and KVM of Google Summer of
Code program. I thought the ideas very interesting but I didn't have time
to propose my ideais or submit a patch. But I don't know a good way to
start doing that.

I want to contribute with libvirt for free (not like GSoC who pays a
paycheck for it). I think that contributing with a project like libvirt
enhances some of my programming skills. Today I work with Linux
distribution management and not with programing itself. However, I'm
finding some troubles to start. For example:

- Can I fix a random open bug?
- How to understand which bug can be easier to solve?
- How to follow the conversation of the mailing list? Sometimes I feel so
lost.

I was looking for a mentor (if you know someone who could help me) or a
person who can help me to follow the right way to start it.
Thanks very much.
