Xen Project to Sponsor one student for Gnome Womens Outreach winter round (Urgent)

Xen Project to Sponsor one student for Gnome Womens Outreach winter round (Urgent)

Hi all,

I just got the last vote in for the Advisory Board sponsoring a student 
to work on the Xen Project for this winter round. The deadlines are 
tight and it is possible that we may not get the paperwork done in time. 
I will hopefully know in a day or two and will then immediately create 
the landing page, etc.

Assuming all goes well, we will need a mentor and a few suitable 
projects. Do we have any volunteers and suitable projects?

Regards
Lars

Hi all,

I got confirmation that this is still OK. So we will have one student to 
work on a Xen project that the Advisory Boards will fund. I created
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/Round7
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/OPWApply

I copied the GSoC list and prospective mentors are:
* Konrad
* George
* Anil
* Ian Campvell
* Ian Jackson
* Roger
* Dario
* Anthony

If your name is listed above:
* review the projects in 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/Round7 and 
REMOVE those that are done already
* REMOVE your projects fvrom the list if you are NOT willing to mentor

Best Regards
Lars

Done.

Is there a deadline for this list to become golden?

Also, we can insert projects under the http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWIntro
as a "Linux and Xen" if there is a project that would be more of
"in the Linux land" type. Are folks OK with that? We only have one
intern slot.

Right now the one that I can think of that would fit within this is:

-  "VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area" - backport and fix it, make
   sure that glibc works, run benchamrks, etc. That would also entail some
   looking at rdstc, gettimeofday calls and all of that to figure out
   where/what holes there are with Linux PV and HVM guests in this area.

-  Implement the 'multi-MSI' hypercall in the Linux kernel. Jan posted
   an RFC patch.

 - Implement proper PAT "sandbox". hpa wants a software translation lookup
   table - similar to how guests MTRR values are looked up in the Xen.

I can mentor them all - though I would appreciate some backup (Boris?)

Yes/No?


Lars, Thank you for taking this up while I was out!
