Dear QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm communities, QEMU will apply for Google Summer of Code 2022 (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and has been accepted into Outreachy May-August 2022 (https://www.outreachy.org/). You can now submit internship project ideas for QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm! If you have experience contributing to QEMU, KVM, or rust-vmm you can be a mentor. It's a great way to give back and you get to work with people who are just starting out in open source. Please reply to this email by February 21st with your project ideas.
I would like to co-mentor one or more projects about adding more statistics to Mark Kanda's newly-born introspectable statistics subsystem in QEMU (https://patchew.org/QEMU/20220215150433.2310711-1-mark.kanda@xxxxxxxxxx/), for example integrating "info blockstats"; and/or, to add matching functionality to libvirt.
However, I will only be available for co-mentoring unfortunately. Paolo
Good project ideas are suitable for remote work by a competent programmer who is not yet familiar with the codebase. In addition, they are: - Well-defined - the scope is clear - Self-contained - there are few dependencies - Uncontroversial - they are acceptable to the community - Incremental - they produce deliverables along the way Feel free to post ideas even if you are unable to mentor the project. It doesn't hurt to share the idea! I will review project ideas and keep you up-to-date on QEMU's acceptance into GSoC. Internship program details: - Paid, remote work open source internships - GSoC projects are 175 or 350 hours, Outreachy projects are 30 hrs/week for 12 weeks - Mentored by volunteers from QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm - Mentors typically spend at least 5 hours per week during the coding period Changes since last year: GSoC now has 175 or 350 hour project sizes instead of 12 week full-time projects. GSoC will accept applicants who are not students, before it was limited to students.
