Hi Shreya,

As far as I understand it, the Outreachy project either has or had a 
requirement that you contribute at least one small patch as part of the 
application process.

We've got a list of tiny things people can do called Bite Sized Tasks: 
http://qemu-project.org/BiteSizedTasks These are often good first stops 
for Outreachy/GSoC candidates.

Some of those ideas may have been implemented already or are at least 
"in progress," so we usually recommend people take a look at the devel 
archives and make sure nobody else is working on them: 
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/

 From there, take a look at our previous Outreachy project list: 
http://wiki.qemu.org/Outreachy_2015_MayAugust Some of the projects 
listed here may have not been attempted and may still be available for 
future applicants if the mentors are still willing.

You are also always welcome to dream up your own ideas and propose them.

Stefan may have additional information more relevant to this Outreachy 
"season."

Good luck,
--js

Hi,
The project is about adding VIRTIO 1.0 support so you'll have to look
at the VIRTIO 1.0 specification and the source code linked from here:
http://qemu-project.org/Outreachy_2016_DecemberMarch#VIRTIO_1.0_support_in_libqos

Once you have an idea of what adding VIRTIO 1.0 support entails you
will be able to fill out the application form including a rough
project plan for the 12-week project.

Feel free to email me at stefanha@gmail.com if you have questions
about the project idea or need help understanding the links I
mentioned above.

Stefan
