Respected Sir, I am a MS CS scholar of Virtual University of Pakistan, I want to participate in GSoC 2016 for Libvirt. Data Science, Networks, Information security, digital forensics and ethical hacking are my core areas of interest. Currently, I am working on a research project on live forensics of GPU and volatile memories like RAMs and Caches. I am looking forward your guidance to start my contribution for Libvirt, thanks in anticipation. Regards Tahir Ramzan

Hi, it's good to hear that you are interested. I'll give you the same hints as I give others for now. But before that, have you had a chance of looking at the ideas page of libvirt? Is any one of those ideas appealing to you or do you have your own As for the ideas, look at our documentation, clone the repository [1], try building it [2], running tests etc., look at the contributor guidelines [2] and generally browse the site to know about some basics. You can also browse the code on the web [4]. Then you can go through the code and see how it all works; or the parts that interest you the most, for now. Be sure to fill in the application before the deadline, the time window is pretty short this year. Have a nice day, Martin [1] git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git [2] https://libvirt.org/compiling.html [3] https://libvirt.org/hacking.html [4] https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary

You should add the above to the wiki page with libvirt's GSOC info. It will be useful. Additionally google's page contains link only to our web page and the email address. There's no link to the wiki including the project idea list. Michal, could you ask to add the wiki page link to the GSoC page [1], so that we don't get as many redundant questions?

How come! I see 'View Ideas List' button in the very top right corner. It links to: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016 The design of GSoC pages has changed this year so it might be confusing to some users to get all the information at the first glance. Michal

Indeed. Apparently the new version has bad design too as I didn't look at any previous version. I've noticed the link to our webpage and the mailing list address but not the ideas list at first glance. Also the "successful proposal guidance" doesn't really help by providing information in regard to contributing and the selection process. I think they should be presented more obviously so that we prevent recurring questions.
