Re: [MirageOS-devel] Getting Started

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And above all, welcome!  Feel free to ask questions as you learn and explore the various components.  As Mindy notes, there's still quite a bit of "institutional knowledge" that hasn't been captured in our documentation, so patches to improve mirage-www (which is the live website) are most welcome, as are any pieces that you find confusing or difficult to get started with.

Hi Lasya,

Glad to hear you're interested in MirageOS!  Here's a short list of links you may find helpful in getting started.

The documentation page of the MirageOS website ( https://mirage.io/docs/ ) has a list of links for getting started, the first of which is here: https://mirage.io/wiki/install .  A quick guide to contributing is available here: https://mirage.io/wiki/contributing .

Any fixes for unclear or confusing bits of text you find in the above documents can be submitted as pull requests to the mirage-www repository at https://github.com/mirage/mirage-www , and would make excellent contributions.

You may be interested in the list of "pioneer projects": https://github.com/mirage/mirage-www/wiki/Pioneer-Projects .  The projects listed are too large for a first contribution of the type requested by (for example) the Outreachy application process, but some of are approximately the right size for the internship itself.

Many known issues in MirageOS are listed via the GitHub issue tracker for the `mirage` tool: https://github.com/mirage/mirage/issues .  There are others on the repositories for specific libraries (e.g. the mirage-tcpip repository issue tracker at https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip ).  We don't have a nice way to aggregate all open issues at the moment as far as I know (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Cheers,
Mindy Preston

Hi all, 

I'm Lasya, a student pursuing Computer Science Engineering from IIIT-H, Hyderabad, India. 

I wish to get started with contributing to Mirage OS. I have conceptual knowledge about Computer system architecture, and OS concepts like Virtualization. I hope they will be useful while contributing to the community, I am willing to learn with your help & guidance. :)

Request to link me to some pages/docs that I am supposed to read to help me setup the environment and start contributing, & a few beginner bugs that I can try my hand at.

Sincerely,

Lasya V
