Hi Theo and Nate, I took a brief look at this myself, because having an emulated environment would help me with my project. I didn't know then that QemuOpenBoardPkg was an accepted project this year. OvmfPkg is large, I'm unfamiliar with QEMU's codebase and I'm only minimally familiar with

Theo, Sorry for leaving you on read! CC'ing Nate as he knows a lot more about MinPlatform than I do! Meanwhile, you can also take a look at the MinPlatform spec: https://edk2-docs.gitbook.io/edk-ii-minimum-platform-specification/ Since you're new to UEFI, you may also want to take a brief look

Hi Théo, Welcome! Pleasure to meet you! As a former GSoC student myself, I advise you to look for something you fancy instead of just looking for something that fits your skill set. It's way better to find something you like (even if you're not 100% familiar with it) instead of looking for
