Hi,
I'm Ammar, a software engineer working with Linux kernel and virtualization.
I'm interested in contributing to QEMU for GSoC 2026, particularly the
virtio-rtc vhost-user device project.
I've been reading the virtio-rtc device spec, the kernel driver code, and
QEMU's virtual clock implementations. And i'd like to ask:
- Are there recommended starter issues or small tasks?
Hi!
If you want to get started with contributing to QEMU, we've got a bunch of
small task in the bug tracker here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues?label_name%5B%5D=Bite%20Sized
- Who would be the best maintainer to coordinate with?
Mentors are mentioned here:
