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

• GSoC Home Page
• GSoC 2012 timeline

Mentor information

• 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

Project Ideas

Rules

• 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

New Project Ideas

Please add new ideas with a description or mail community.manager@xen.org if in doubt. - This is now closed for 2011 GSoC: please do NOT edit this section. It will not have any effect!
