I was registered on the site few days ago, filled some quite a big form but still can't see tasks' descriptions. Since, I like C programming I would like to know more about "Introduce CONFIG_PDX and use it in Xen hypervisor". What hardware do I need? I think I can find an old laptop with virtualization support. Also, how can I start contributing? I have few years of C programming experience but never had contributed to open-source projects before.

You will need to make sure you have the hardware that's capable of running Xen.

What hardware do I need? I think > I can find an old laptop with virtualization support. Also, how can I start Yes. Find a laptop with virtualisation support. Install your choice of virtualisation software, and then install a Xen system from source in it. For contributing, I suggest you clone xen.git from https://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/xen.git and have a look at xen/ directory, which contains the hypervisor source code you will work on. Submit a patch or patches. They can be as easy as fixing typos or as complex as fixing a real bug that you find.

But it seems that a potential contributor to xen should already have some knowledge of xen (for example, how to find a bug, since there are no issues on github and no visible link to bugzilla). I didn't know that! I am really sorry for this inconvenience!!!

I didn't know that! > I am really sorry for this inconvenience!!! There is no need to be sorry for anything. To be clear, we don't assume prior knowledge of Xen. We require interns to get familiarised with the development process by reading relevant materials. After reading the materials they should ask specific questions about the process. We used to have a centralised place for easy bugs, but I think most low-hanging fruits are already gone. That's why I asked potential interns to submit patches to fix typos in the hypervisor code base -- just open a file that interests you and see if you find any typos in comments. Being able to find and fix a real bug would be nice, but that's not a hard requirement. The key point is to go through the development process and interact with the community.

I thought that an applicant should know what bugs already existed and tried to fix them. I was trying to find some on the github page but haven't succeeded. But now I can try to do my best. At least, I will try to help with typo extermination.

Apologies I haven't got this sorted sooner, but https://andrewcoop-xen.readthedocs.io/en/docs-devel/misc/tech-debt.html#config-pdx is a brief introduction to the problem and intended outcome. I hope the description is clear enough to follow. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
