Hi all!

I'm a CS student at the University of Texas at Austin and am really interested in the OSv project. For one of my classes I need to contribute to an open source project related to virtualization and I've been very interested in unikernels.

Are there any tasks/projects that you think could be a good fit for getting started contributing to your project? It can even be something relatively mundane or tedious that you all may need help on. I'm happy to help with anything!

Cheers,

Samuel Laberge

Hi Samuel,

You could have a look at issues tagged as "low difficulty" or "medium difficulty":

https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Alow-difficulty

https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22medium+difficulty%22

Waldek, is your roadmap available somewhere? Maybe it should be a markdown file somewhere in osv.git for newcomers to read?

Hi and welcome!

Here is the roadmap wiki I have just created and planning to update a little as we go - https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/wiki/Roadmap. The items are in the order of priority heavily biased by me.

Besides Pekka's suggestion, you may look at the 'good-for-newcomers' issues - https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Agood-for-newcomers. The 1104 one should be a good one to introduce to OSv. I hope to qualify more issues like that.
