Re: [Xen-devel] I want to participate in Outreachy with CONFIG_PDX related project

[Kateryna Razumova <katereenart@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Liu,

oh, I thought that xen participates in Outreachy in order to get new contributors via easing the entrance process.

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!!!

Please read all reference materials for that project.

You will need to make sure you have the hardware that's capable of
running Xen. If you have read the project description and have more
specific questions, please ask.

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.

Wei.
