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.
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 open for 2012 GSoC!
| Description | Project | Possible Mentor(s) | Size, Knowledge required | Detailed Description |
