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
