[Qemu-devel] Who wants to mentor for Outreachy Dec-Mar?

[Qemu-devel] Who wants to mentor for Outreachy Dec-Mar?

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

We are now looking for mentors for the next round of Outreachy running
from December 7, 2015 to March 7, 2016.  I have set up a wiki page
here:
http://qemu-project.org/Outreachy_2015_DecemberMarch

Our communities have participated in previous years to mentor people
from underrepresented groups and help them get involved in open source
software.  To learn more, see the Outreachy website:
https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/

If you are a regular contributor to QEMU, libvirt, or the KVM kernel
module then you can become an Outreachy mentor.  Information on what's
involved is here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForMentors

Mentoring summary:

1. Post your project ideas here:
http://qemu-project.org/Outreachy_2015_DecemberMarch

2. You give each applicant a different small task so they can submit a
patch upstream.  You also interview promising candidates on IRC to get
a better picture.  Then you select a candidate you wish to work with
(or none).

3. Requires 5 hours/week from December 2015 to March 2016 to mentor
your intern, review their code, answer their questions, etc.

If you'd like to become a mentor, please let me know.


We are also looking for sponsors who wish to fund Outreachy interns
for QEMU, libvirt, and the KVM kernel module.  The sponsorship for one
intern is $6,500.  Learn more about sponsorship:

I've copied over unused projects from GSoC which I'm willing to mentor.
Others are welcomed to mentor too ;-)

Great, since there is interest I will start looking if we can secure
sponsorship.

We need to find sponsors for the Outreachy interns that we take.
Unlike GSoC, there is not automatically funding available for all
interns.
