[Qemu-devel] Call for GSoC & Outreachy 2018 mentors & project ideas

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

QEMU will apply to the Google Summer of Code
(https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and Outreachy
(https://www.outreachy.org/) open source internship programs again
this year.

Do you want to mentor newcomers beginning open source development in
our community?

Please post your project ideas on the wiki by January 23rd:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2018

Project ideas must:
 * Be doable in 12 weeks by someone fluent in C programming but not
familiar with the codebase.
 * Have a clear scope and few dependencies.
 * Have a high chance of being merged.
 * Consist of smaller steps that can be merged incrementally.

Active QEMU, KVM, and Jailhouse contributors are invited to become
mentors.  Mentoring is a volunteer activity that requires around 5
hours per week to interact with your intern, review code, etc.  GSoC
and Outreachy internships run from May through August.

For background on why QEMU participates in open source internship
programs and how it works, check out my KVM Forum presentation:

KVM and Jailhouse are invited to participate under the QEMU GSoC
umbrella organization.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
