Call for GSoC 2017 mentors & project ideas

Call for GSoC 2017 mentors & project ideas

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

QEMU will be applying to Google Summer of Code again this year.

Do you want to help some of the most talented university students
begin contributing to open source by working on our codebase and
joining our community?

We need to put together a list of project ideas by February 9:
http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017#Project_Ideas

Active contributors are invited to post project ideas.  The project
should be doable in 12 weeks by someone fluent in C programming but
not familiar with the codebase.  Good project ideas have a clear
scope, few dependencies, a high chance of being merged, and can be
broken down into smaller steps.

For background on why QEMU participates in GSoC and how it works,
check out my KVM Forum presentation:

https://vmsplice.net/~stefan/stefanha-kvm-forum-2016.pdf

KVM and Jailhouse are invited to participate under the QEMU umbrella
organization.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Stefan

Will Outreachy point here as well or are we going to be duplicating
ideas? I seem to recall a lot of copy and pasting last time.

Could we not write a page-per-project and use categories with
transclusion on the wiki?

Sure, feel free to create a page for the project idea.
