This mostly depends on two factors: 1) Would you have been accepted as student for gsoc? There's a certain skill level required to participate. If for example I'd have to spend 3 weeks full-time explaining things before you even could get started with real work, unfortunately the trade-off is too bad. 2) Is there anyone willing to mentor the project you're trying to do? Qemu is a very broad project. If you happen to choose a part of it that nobody understands, you might end up not getting anyone willing to mentor you :). Also keep in mind that Qemu is an open source project, so we all mentor each other all the time. That's what this whole patch review thing is about :).

You can also pick a GSOC 2010/2011 project, and start working on it outside of GSOC context if you want. And keep in mind that if you want to write code send patchs for QEMU, nobody can stop you :). -- Corentin Chary http://xf.iksaif.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Corentin is right - just work on something that interests you and send patches. You could start by tackling open bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu. People have to pull their own weight, there is not a lot of internals documentation, you need to learn by reading the code. Official Summer of Code students will find the same thing is true.
