I am looking forward to contributing to qemu ! This semester, I am taking a class in Virtualization (https://github.com/vijay03/cs378-f19) and contributing to a virtualization related open-source project is a significant part of the course. I would be interested in contributing a patchset to qemu - possibly a self-contained feature or a reasonably complex bug fix that can be completed in under a month's time. I did look at both the bugtracker and the QEMU Google Summer of Code 2019 page [https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019] for ideas. However, I would be interested in hearing from the community and I would be delighted if somebody can be suggest a suitable project ! I am an advanced C programmer with both professional and academic background in systems design & implementation - especially OS & Networks. Given my background, I feel fairly confident that I can pickup the QEMU codebase quickly. Eagerly looking forward to hearing from the community ! Thanks, Rajath Shashidhara
