A month is fairly tight for adding a new feature to the core code given you would need to get up to speed with an area before proposing some sort of change. That said review time is also a contribution to open source and there are plenty of patches on the list looking for someone to try them out and poke around. Have a look through the list and see if anything jumps out as interesting to you and review that. If you want an area that is fairly self-contained you could consider experimenting with the TCG plugins interface and try to measure something useful about the behaviour of a virtual machine. See: https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/TCGPlugins and the example plugins in tests/plugins - which you will see are all self-contained experiments. > > -Thanks, > Dinah -- Alex Benn=C3=A9e
