Hi all,
My name is Haiyu and I am really interested in contributing MirageOS
this summer.
Hi! I'm Mindy, one of the co-administrators (with Lars Kurth) for this
round of GSoC and Outreachy. It's great to hear that you're interested
in MirageOS!
I don't know if this is late or early, but I think it's always good to
get in contact with the community. I particularly interested in the
CoHTTP project. Is it still available right now?
cohttp is pretty active at the moment! You might want to speak with
Rudi Grinberg, who's lately been doing a lot of needed work in that
project, to get a bit more guidance on where to start looking.
Actually, I learnt Standard ML on MOOC and Haskell in college, but no
serious experience with OCaml. And I have some experience with OS and
HTTP protocol. I think this project would be fun for me.
If you're looking for resources on OCaml, I can recommend "Real World
OCaml" which got me started from a similar background; it's available
for free at https://realworldocaml.org . I've also heard lots of
recommendations of "OCaml from the Very Beginning", which has several
chapters available for free at http://ocaml-book.com/ .
To be honest, I'm not quite clear about the overall process of GSoC
application. Is it very competitive? Do I need move fast to have some
work done right now?
We're fortunate to have had a lot of interest this year! For us the
number of GSoC and Outreachy positions available depend on the overall
level of interest in the Xen project, so the level of competition is
difficult to gauge from our little corner. Student draft proposals for
GSoC should be submitted between 20 March and 3 April (deadline 16.00
UTC), so it's probably a good idea to get started soon.
Thanks,
Mindy
