Want to do something cool with QEMU? Whether you are a developer or
user, you can help us create the QEMU Advent Calendar 2014!
I've had this whacky idea for a while and the right time of year has
finally come. When I was a kid each year I would get an advent
calendar for December...
An advent calendar is a calendar that counts down days until
Christmas. Each day has a window that is opened to reveal a surprise
(often chocolate or pictures):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_calendar
The QEMU Advent Calendar 2014 will be a website that reveals a new
disk image for download each day in December. Launching the disk
image under QEMU will bring up a nice surprise!
Volunteers are needed to create disk images and to build the website.
Disk images:
* Need a disk image for each day: 1-25 December
* Must be freely redistributable (i.e. no proprietary license that
prevents distribution)
* Ideally under 100 MB per disk image
* Please include a command-line for launching the disk image
* Please include a short description of the disk image with hints on
what to try
Ideas list for disk images (reply if you want to volunteer to create the image):
* Slackware 1.0 with Linux 0.99pl11 (1993)
* ReactOS
* Haiku
* MINIX 3
* Plan 9
* QEMU inside QEMU - nested emulation (how many levels can you do?!)
* FreeDOS boot to DOOM or Commander Keen (use shareware version or
open source clone)
* International Obfuscated C Coding Competition 2004 entry - 32-bit
multitasking operating system (http://www.ioccc.org/2004/gavin.hint)
* Something s390 :-)
* Your idea...!
Website:
* Static HTML, CSS, and images
* Web design help needed!
Please reply to this email thread if you want to volunteer.
Questions? Feel free to reply or ask on #qemu irc.oftc.net.

PS: The QEMU Advent Calendar 2014 is a secular calendar (not
religious). The idea is for the QEMU community to create a fun
experience to share with everyone. You don't need to celebrate
Christmas to participate!
