You can find a list of already accepted projects here [2]. Once accepted
to the project we would have to provide some scripts that build libvirt
and run some tests.


I was thinking about that too.  And danpb would like that as well, I
guess, since he came up with the fuzzing idea for GSoC.

One of the disadvantages is that we have to provide a docker(!) image
where the scripts would run from.


But it's not like the whole libvirt has to be installed and running
there, right?  It's unit-test fuzzing, it will just link against
libvirt.la and run random APIs (mostly public ones, I guess).

What are your thoughts on this? Should we apply?


I was already reading up on it when you sent the mail, so I'd say yes.
