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.

Hi, I have CCed the libvirt GSoC mentors in case you haven't contacted them directly yet. All project ideas are open until the student application deadline on March 27th. You need to have the right skills for the project whether or not there are other candidates applying, so I suggest focussing on the project ideas that most interest you. Good luck! Stefan
