[libvirt] GSOC 2015: Libvirt Projects

Dear Mentors, I am currently pursuing Master's in University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA and completed by B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi (IIT- Delhi). I am interested in contributing to Libvirt community through GSOC 2015. I am using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu and have used VMware Player in the past. Actually I am very interested in understanding virtualization at a more practical level and do not want to limit myself to theoretical knowledge. I have played with QEMU during the OS class, but I am new to Libvirt, and thus would like to start with beginner level projects. There are two that I found: 1. Enhancing libvirt-designer 2. Abstracting device address allocation Are these projects still open, or students have already applied to them? Are there any other projects that I can start with? I am really excited about contributing to the libvirt project. Please let me know of a suitable way of starting with these. I look forward for a useful engagement with the community this summer. My irc name is: richashi. Thanks Richa
