Dear QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm communities, QEMU will apply for Google Summer of Code 2022 (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and has been accepted into Outreachy May-August 2022 (https://www.outreachy.org/). You can now submit internship project ideas for QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm!
If you have experience contributing to QEMU, KVM, or rust-vmm you can be a mentor. It's a great way to give back and you get to work with people who are just starting out in open source.
Please reply to this email by February 21st with your project ideas.
I would like to co-mentor one or more projects about adding more statistics to Mark Kanda's newly-born introspectable statistics subsystem in QEMU (https://patchew.org/QEMU/20220215150433.2310711-1-mark.kanda@oracle.com/), for example integrating "info blockstats"; and/or, to add matching functionality to libvirt. However, I will only be available for co-mentoring unfortunately. Paolo
Good project ideas are suitable for remote work by a competent programmer who is not yet familiar with the codebase. In addition, they are: - Well-defined - the scope is clear - Self-contained - there are few dependencies - Uncontroversial - they are acceptable to the community - Incremental - they produce deliverables along the way
Feel free to post ideas even if you are unable to mentor the project. It doesn't hurt to share the idea!
I will review project ideas and keep you up-to-date on QEMU's acceptance into GSoC.
Internship program details: - Paid, remote work open source internships - GSoC projects are 175 or 350 hours, Outreachy projects are 30 hrs/week for 12 weeks - Mentored by volunteers from QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm - Mentors typically spend at least 5 hours per week during the coding period
Changes since last year: GSoC now has 175 or 350 hour project sizes instead of 12 week full-time projects. GSoC will accept applicants who are not students, before it was limited to students.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I'm happy to offer my helping hand in this. I mean the libvirt part, since I am a libvirt developer. I believe this will be listed in QEMU's ideas list, right? Michal

Does Libvirt participate to GSoC as an independent organization this year? If not, I'll add it as a Libvirt project on the QEMU ideas list. Paolo

Libvirt participates as its own GSoC organization. If a project has overlap we could do it in either org, or have a QEMU project and a libvirt project if the amount of work is large enough. Stefan

Indeed. Libvirt's participating on its own since 2016, IIRC. Since we're still in org acceptance phase we have some time to decide this, actually. We can do the final decision after participating orgs are announced. My gut feeling says that it's going to be more work on QEMU side which would warrant it to be on the QEMU ideas page. But anyway, we can wait an see. Meanwhile, as Stefan is trying to compile the list for org application, I'm okay with putting it onto QEMU's list. Michal

There are multiple projects that can be done on this topic, some QEMU-only, some Libvirt-only. For now I would announce the project on the Libvirt side (and focus on those projects) since you are comentoring. Paolo

Alright then. I've listed the project idea here: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/276 Please let me know what do you think. Michal

You're welcome to co-mentor the QEMU project indepently of a separate libvirt project (if there is one). Your involvement would be great so you can give input on what APIs libvirt wants. Stefan
