Cool). So, first of all, about GSoC in general, we (Xen.org) have applied as a mentoring organization, but we still have to see whether or not we're going to be accepted, before starting to officially evaluate candidate students for the various projects. Of course, I'm really happy about people being interested in the project, and I'll be glad to help in any case, but I also really want to be clear that, if it has to be GSoC, we'll have to wait a little bit to see what Google thinks. :-) > Will the GSoC projects be discussed here? > Indeed it will. I'm available in private (just use the e-mail address from which I'm replying to this e-mail) for providing any help with stuff that might not be so much interesting for the whole list/dev-community, but anything regarding the design and implementation of the project itself, should go through the list, so others can see, stay updated with the status, and comment. As I said above, there already have been people asking about this project, and there are people working on real-time on Xen outside the boundaries of this GSoC activity, so be prepared for some sane Open Source-style competition or, most likely, for some sane Open Source-collaboration-and-integration-with-other-people's-work! :-D > I'm new to xen and xen community, hoping this doesn't make a disturb > to your works. > Being new is fine, and no, you're not disturbing. If I can ask (mostly out of curiosity), since you're saying you are interested in the project, but don't have a Xen background, do you perhaps have some background in (real-time) scheduling?
