Hi, I'd like to propose the idea of allowing the user to set multiple SSH keys for a VM rather than just a single one via the API. It would be simple enough to complete within the timeframe for someone new to the project as well as be a great addition to ACS

We've had a number of previous GSoC students (examples at [2] ), who have worked on innovative features/ projects within cloudstack and have then gone on to become significant contributors to Cloudstack . In order to be able to attract students to work on Cloudstack, we need 2 things: 1. A number of candidate projects for students to work on. Students browse all GSoC the candidate projects and choose one that interests them- effectively every organisation is competing for the students interest. These projects therefore need to be reasonably interesting looking projects to attract potential students. The students spend approximately 9 weeks coding, so the projects need to be appropriately scaled 2. Somebody prepared to mentor the student throughout the duration of the project (usually the person who suggests the project) The student application period starts 29 March [3] The ASF has registered itself as a mentor organisation with Google , allowing individual Apache projects to list candidate projects for students to work on. A wiki page [4] has been created at the ASF level to allow ASF projects to list their ideas for students I'm happy to coordinate this from a Cloudstack perspective. If others are happy with this approach, then I ask for two things at this stage: 1. Could people suggest appropriate projects. This could be a piece of integration that you've always considered and not got around to or could be an improvement that you've always wanted to do. If people can reply to this thread with ANY ideas, it would be a good start (irrespective of whether you wish to be a mentor or not) 2. At the same time, could people say whether they'd be prepared to be a student mentor or not [1] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ [2] https://blog.netapp.com/blogs/mentoring-with-google-summer-of-code-and-lessons-in-cloudstack/ https://dzone.com/articles/cloudstack-google-summer-code https://opensource.googleblog.com/2014/07/gsoc-students-create-google-compute.html [3]https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline [4] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/GSoC+2021+Ideas+list Kind regards Giles giles.sir...@shapeblue.com www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> 3 London Bridge Street, 3rd floor, News Building, London SE1 9SGUK @shapeblue david.jum...@shapeblue.comĀ www.shapeblue.com 3 London Bridge Street, 3rd floor, News Building, London SE1 9SGUK @shapeblue
