The project ideas list is linked from the organization application form and
Google folks have mentioned messy/incomplete project ideas lists when
giving feedback to orgs that were not accepted.
This is why it's worth having the project ideas list ready.
But Cedric is right that we can still add project ideas later. I set the hard
deadline at March 10th when students begin applying.
Stefan
There are only a few days left before the hard deadline (March 10th) but
I wanted to mention one possible project which I think is worth considering:
Integration of Libvirt and CRIU to allow live-migration
(and snapshots?) for containers
In [1] you can find more details about the reasons why this feature
would make sense together with a first analysis by Daniel about
what to consider for the design.
I am not applying as a student and I am not offering myself as a mentor (I
do not qualify as a mentor), I Just wanted to point out a possible interesting
(and challenging) project.
I am afraid it would be too challenging for a 12 weeks projects, but I'll let you
decide that.
Having said that, I would be happy to help with the testing and reviews if
needed.
