Re: GSoC ideas for Xen?

[Lars Kurth]

Adding the xen-devel list. Note that we are a long time participant of GSoC and OPW. Our project list is on wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/GSoC_2015

We are both at CollabSummit, which is why we have not responded to KB's mail

Subject: GSoC ideas for Xen?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

George, Lars:

We're collecting ideas (over the next 24 hours) for work that Google
Summer of Code students can do via the CentOS Project. In the past
I've had good success with doing work with GSoC students via the
Fedora Project where the work happens primarily in the upstream
project, as long as it lands back with the distro. We think the same can
work for CentOS SIGs.

For the Xen Project we're looking for items that might be directly or
indirectl related to work needed in your SIG. It could be integration,
packaging, or any other code-related task.

Each idea needs to be associated with a mentor, but we can be flexible
about the final mentor assignment once we (hopefully) get accepted to
this year's GSoC.

You can see the template of what we need to fill out for each
idea.

http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/2015/Ideas

Remember that these are tasks for e.g. computer science students, and a
part of the work for the mentor is simply getting the student able to
effectively contribute and collaborate in an open community. This means
you can take an idea you might do over two months and split it in to 4
parts for 4 different students, etc.

Thanks,

- - Karsten

Do you have anything that you would want to do in joint or through
CentOS GSoC efforts?

Gotcha, thanks. Yeah, I had to choose SCALE this year since they
conflicted.

We probably do, but don't have time to put this together in there next 24
hours. A bit of thought and word smithing is needed. There is nothing on
our existing list that can be moved over.


Is there any infrastructure stuff you could add: the issue I see is that
you have an empty project list, which means as a mentoring org you have 0
chance of getting into GSoC. From my experience it is necessary to start
the process for GSoC in December.

Lars

No problem, I realized near the end that I hadn't directly reached out
to SIG leadership to see what they were thinking about, hence my
last-hour appeal. :)

Agreed, and just like last year I forgot my experience here -- i.e.,
once you see the notice that GSoC 20** is "on", start working on it.
So the opening week snuck up on me. :)

You seem to have a good list together by now. Should be good enough for the application.

Thanks, yeah, I really like the ideas, and a nice list of mentors.
We've got some good stuff in there that should help the wider
ecosystem, which I always prefer over things that just help the
project itself.
