[Xen-devel] GSoC 2015 - Not accepted ... but some mentoring organisations which have several Xen related projects in them are

[Lars Kurth]

Hi folks,

just a quick note to let you know that we were not accepted for GSoC this year. 
Do note that the Linux Foundation, OpenStack Foundation and many of the other 
usual suspects have not been accepted this year. We will find out more why on 
Friday. However, there are at least 4 Xen related projects that are managed by 
other
 
I made a note at the top of http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Archived/GSoC_2015 
 to point applicants to 
some of those projects. I have found 5 so far (which may bot be a complete 
list):
Xen based Hypervisor in a Box @ Centos  

Xen guest support for OpenBSD @ Open BSD Foundation  

3 Xen related projects @ Ganeti 

Other projects which were accepted are QEMU 
: note that 
there are no Xen related projects, but given that Xen has good relationships 
with the QEMU community we may be able to get one or two projects onto the list 
if someone steps up and is willing to mentor

Best Regards

I reached out to the GSoC people to get information on why we were not 
accepted.  The response is not surprising:

"We had to make a lot of hard decisions with our GSoC organizations this year, 
and unfortunately yours was one of them. We focused a lot on trying to make 
space and accept new, small organizations who have never participated before, 
and we felt it wouldn't be an extreme hardship for your organization to take a 
year off from the program. I hope you all will apply again in a future year, 
and good luck with everything this year!"
