Dear libvirt, KVM, and QEMU contributors, The Google Summer of Code season begins soon and it's time to collect our thoughts for mentoring students this summer working full-time on libvirt, KVM, and QEMU. What is GSoC? Google Summer of Code 2015 (GSoC) funds students to work on open source projects for 12 weeks over the summer. Open source organizations apply to participate and those accepted receive funding for one or more students. We now need to collect a list of project ideas on our wiki. We also need mentors to volunteer. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Project ideas Please post project ideas on the wiki page below. Project ideas should be suitable as a 12-week project that a student fluent in C/Python/etc can complete. No prior knowledge of QEMU/KVM/libvirt internals can be assumed. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Mentors Please add your name to project ideas you are willing to mentor. In order to mentor you must be an established contributor (regularly contribute patches). You must be willing to spend about 5 hours per week from May 25 to August 21. I have CCed the 8 most active committers since QEMU 2.1.0 as well as the previous libvirt and KVM mentors but everyone is invited.
