Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hello everyone, I am a hobby programmer (working as an SDE in the industry) and I have been observing qemu for quite a while. I have always wanted to contribute but I couldn't manage my time. I am good at Java and Python but quite a bit rusty with C++ and C (although working with it will not be a

Re: Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hey John, Sorry for the late reply! I was in the midst of a job change and couldn't get time to get to this. The work sounds interesting! I have a couple of questions regarding this: 1. How do I actually build this part? I am familiar with building and using QEMU. Does the qapi parser get

Re: Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hey John, Sorry to bother you! I just wanted to know if you had any thoughts on the mail I sent. Is there anything I can pick up right now with regards to the Python package? You mentioned that linting is something that needs to be completed before we go ahead, so maybe I can start with that? Th

Re: Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hey John, I sent this email a couple of weeks ago to the qemu mailing list since I didn't really know who to approach. I am interested in contributing to the python-qemu package. I have quite a bit of experience in Python, but no experience in packaging libraries. Whatever you mentioned in the re

Re: Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hey Thomas, I didn't really have any specific questions. I wanted to know if there was any part of qemu that I could contribute to. Qemu is overwhelmingly vast and without some pointers, I felt very lost. On Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 1:51 AM Thomas Huth wrote: > On 25/08/2020 04.26, Rohit Shinde w

Re: Contributor wanting to get started with simple contributions

Hey John, I came across QEMU in 2015 when I was looking to participate in GSOC. I did GSoC through another org. I kept following qemu because I was interested in virtualization, systems level coding and device emulation. Currently, most of my professional dev work is done in Java and Python (with
