[GSoC 2023] Introducing Myself

[Ayush Singh]

Hello Everyone,

I am Ayush Singh, a 3rd-year university student from the Indian Institute of
Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, India. This email is just to

I participated and successfully completed my GSoC 2022 Project under
Tianocore Organization in Rust, so I am pretty experienced in Rust
Language. I am also fairly proficient in reading and working with C,
although not to the same degree as Rust.

I use Qemu often for testing and thus would like to contribute to Qemu as a
part of GSoC 2023. I have narrowed down the projects to:

1.  Rust bindings for libnbd:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2023#Rust_bindings_for_libnbd
2.  RDP server: https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2023#RDP_server

I would just like to confirm if both of the above projects are up for grabs
in the upcoming GSoC 2023, and if there are any specific requirements/tasks
to complete to apply for either of the projects.

Finally, what is the preferred way of discussions in Qemu community? I did
see an IRC channel as well as qemu-discuss mailing list.

Yours sincerely
Ayush Singh

We do have another candidate.  I'm not sure what happens in these
situations .. Erik?

Project allocations happen through the GSoC process so everyone should
apply and then you interview the prospective candidates and choose the
best one.

For realtime questions (keeping in mind TZ's and working hours) IRC is
the best way. You can connect via matrix as described here:

  https://www.qemu.org/support/

as not everyone has access to a persistent IRC bouncer. Otherwise deeper
technical questions are best handled on qemu-devel where the thread can
be followed by the whole community.
