I am researching how to contribute to the oVirt community. I started here:
https://www.ovirt.org/community/
And, I immediately saw to sign up for this email address and...send us an email
saying how you would like to contribute. Visit our[mailing
lists](https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/)page for other oVirt mailing lists to
sign up for.
My answers are: I want to be useful (and give more than I take). I can answer
questions on mailing lists, help troubleshoot, write ovirt.ovirt Ansible
collections, roles and custom modules. I am a seasoned Python programmer.
My background:
- Python programmer for 10+ years
- I write custom Ansible modules, roles, playbook, etc.
- Previous DBA for Informix (highly certified but who has heard of informix
anymore). Postgres and Informix are cousins (both offspring from Ingres)
- I have *some* rudimentary knowledge of Virtualization. However, I'm far from
an expert
- One of my favorite OS's is Qubes (an OS of virtual machines really)
- I do a lot of technical training (writing materials and facilitating classes)
- I work in an SRE / SysAd role at a large company that puts music in peoples
ears (I'm hoping to move some of this from less SysAd and more SRE when with
some of this oVirt stuff we're working on).
My intermediate skills
- I have bought a book on libvirt. But, it's still on my backlog. It feels that
I'm always sucking an ocean through a straw so I have to pick and choose what I
read next
- My second favorite OS is Ubuntu as my main desktop (Qubes on separate
computer for more secure stuff -- like crypto)
- I'm just starting to use Virtual Machine Manager to run other OSs on Ubuntu
My Oh-I-have-No-Idea skills:
- things like luns, iSCSI and the `vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter` are making me
pull my hair out. This is the reason I was frustrated enough to say "Let me
join this community so I can learn more how this architecture works."
- I work for a large company that has a RedHat support contract. We use RHV. I
just wrote up this long descriptive case of the problem, uploaded sosreports,
added as much detail as I could. But, it's crickets. If I knew more I could
debug what was happening more myself.
How did I do for an introduction?
Cheers,
Glen Jarvis
