Re: [Qemu-devel] [GSoC] Wanted: small warmup tasks

I was waiting to chat with my mentors, but I wanted to ask the same thing. So, if you have any, I'm also interested.

To follow up on this: I'm currently looking for optional tiny "warmup"
tasks for our QEMU students during the bonding period (till May 18). If
you have any trivial issues or extensions in mind that someone could
address within a few days or even hours, that would be perfect. It could
even be something like "reformat the printing of these messages" or so.

We used this mechanism last year with the KVM student quite
successfully. The idea is to give the student very early a chance to get
in contact with the community and with the patch submission & review
procedure. So the focus is more on dealing with patches than on solving
a technical problem in QEMU. If all works fine, this should encourage
her/him to work with the community right from the beginning, ask
question, post things early etc.
