GSOC 2020 Introduction and Doubt

[vithik shah]

Hello,

I am Vithik Shah, pre-final year Information Technology Student at NIT Karnataka, India.I wish to contribute to Qubes OS and am specifically interested in  "Template manager, new template distribution mechanism" proposed for GSOC 2020. 

Please can someone help me where to start from?

Thank You

Also how do I build Qube OS if I clone it using git

Do you have Qubes OS installed somewhere already? For testing it is enough to install on an external USB disk (although it will be slow). If you don't have already, this is definitely something to start with. Generally, for new development, you'll want Qubes R4.1, but for just playing with it stable (R4.0) is also fine. R4.1 installation image you can download from CI here:

Also I'd recommend trying to build some of the packages with some minor change, to familiarize yourself with the build system:

- https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-iso-building/

Best,

Is it fine if I have fedora on a VM to install  Qubes OS using build.
