[libvirt] Mentors wanted for Outreach Program for Women October 2014
Dear mentors and core contributors, Outreach Program for Women is starting the next round in October 2014. OPW funds women to work on open source software for 12 weeks with the help of mentors: https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/ We just completed a successful round of OPW and Google Summer of Code. Other organizations have also been participating successfully in OPW like the Linux kernel with Greg KH and other mentors. Would you like to mentor in OPW October 2014? Regular code contributors to QEMU, KVM, and libvirt are eligible to participate as mentors. We also need project ideas that are achievable in 12 weeks by someone skilled in programming but not necessarily familiar with open source or our codebase. Ideas welcome! Stefan

I could use some of my time to help others participate in the community.

It's just a matter of ideas. Maybe we could revisit some of those we had for GSoC. If I'm reading the deadline for project ideas is October 22nd, so I think we'll definitely come up with something. In first pitch this might be a rewriting of storage driver to handle jobs (our failed GSoC project from this year), and if admin API gets added, there will be many APIs and ideas how to expand it.

Yes, we can continue to offer project ideas that were not done last round. Thanks for your interest, Martin! I'll send more information once we have information on how many slots are funded. Stefan

Thank you for your interest in helping revisit GSoC ideas and come up with new ones! October 22 is an application deadline for prospective interns. QEMU would need to have some project ideas listed by September 8, though you can add more ideas through September. The timeline for the program is at https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2014/DecemberMarch You don't need very many ideas, as you are likely to only have at most 2-3 participants. We don't yet have any funding confirmed for QEMU, but Stefan and I will be working on this. If your organization might be able to sponsor QEMU internships in OPW, please contact me and Stefan off-list. You can learn more at https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Admin/InfoForOrgs Thanks, Marina

Mentors: Please post your project ideas on the wiki page.
Will do as soon as I find some free time and energy ;) Martin

No. qemu-project.org is the preferred domain. wiki.qemu.org works too and points to the same page. Stefan

Oh, sorry then, but I got non-existent page with qemu-project, so I thought it's different. I probably loaded wiki.qemu right after you saved it and that's why it looked like they are two different domains. Martin
