Project Ideas for GSoC 2012

This page is used to list project ideas for Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2012. Xen will apply as a mentoring organization again.

Key Google Pages

Google system Guide for Mentors. In a nutshell you need to register with Google, create a profile and register as mentor by going to Xen.org@GSoc and start by clicking on Or register as a mentor (the link is just underneath the link to ourt ideas page).
Mentor's handbook - The following sections are worth having a look at (each chapter is the size of an A4 page)
- Getting Started : What Makes a Good Mentor
- Getting Started : Selecting A Student
- Communication : The entire section is a good read, however Best Practices and Warning Signs are a must
- Mentoring: The entire section is a good read, however Setting Expectations, Managing The Plan and Evaluations are a must

Be creative
Be specific: what do you want to be implemented; if at all possible provide an indication of size and complexity as described above to make it easier for a student to choose ideas
If you are willing to mentors those ideas, add your name and email to the idea.
If you're an interested student, add your name and email next to the idea. It is ok to have several students interested by one idea.
Aspiring students need to get in touch with the xen.org community manager via community.manager@xen.org to register their interest

Please add new ideas with a description or mail community.manager@xen.org if in doubt. - This is now open for 2012 GSoC!
