Subject: [Rust-VMM] Call for Google Summer of Code 2020 project ideas
Message-ID: <CAJSP0QWysOZdp88vqJSQ-7J8tPk6OdaSL2WDLetJ5+YXsNH-UA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear QEMU, KVM, and rust-vmm community,
QEMU will apply for Google Summer of Code
(https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) again this year.  This internship
program offers full-time, paid, 12-week, remote work internships for
contributing to open source.  QEMU can act as an umbrella organization
for KVM kernel and rust-vmm projects too.

Please post project ideas on the QEMU wiki before February 1st:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2020

Good project ideas are suitable for 12 weeks of full-time work by a
competent programmer who is not yet familiar with the codebase.  In
addition, they are:
 * Well-defined - the scope is clear
 * Self-contained - there are few dependencies
 * Uncontroversial - they are acceptable to the community
 * Incremental - they produce deliverables along the way

Feel free to post ideas even if you are unable to mentor the project.
It doesn't hurt to share the idea!

I will review project ideas and keep you up-to-date on QEMU's
acceptance into GSoC.

I've removed the other email lists (trying not to spam everyone).

I tried to think about a project for rust-vmm, but nothing really interesting comes to mind.
My personal opinion is that right now it is a bit difficult to find a project in rust-vmm that it's self contained and does not require tribal knowledge about how are these crates used.
We also are not doing quite well on providing timely reviews for PRs, so I guess having a student writing a component from scratch is going to cause frustration as the chances for getting it merged under 12 weeks is very low. 

This is not the most interesting project, but I was thinking about some improvements around the rust-vmm-ci.
I am getting quite annoyed with how the rust-vmm-ci works (I wrote it, sorry :(). I was thinking about a few incremental improvements as follows:
- Provide a framework for running all the tests on a development machine. Right now you cannot check that your code doesn't break anything unless you post a PR and let Buildkite run all the tests. I also created an issue regarding this: https://github.com/rust-vmm/rust-vmm-ci/issues/13
- Add tests in the CI to check for the appropriate format of the commit message. See: https://github.com/rust-vmm/rust-vmm-ci/issues/9 and https://github.com/rust-vmm/rust-vmm-ci/issues/14
- Licensing and security tests: https://github.com/rust-vmm/rust-vmm-ci/issues/8 and https://github.com/rust-vmm/rust-vmm-ci/issues/15

What do you think? Should I write a proposal for these kind of improvements?

Andreea

David, Sergio, what is the state of the vhost-user crates?  Is there any
small project that could be done?

Yes, I think that would make a good project idea.

Please go ahead and add a project idea to the wiki:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2020#How_to_add_a_project_idea

Feel free to email the fleshed out project idea to me if you don't
have or want to create a wiki account.

Is there a co-mentor who could mentor this project together with you?
It helps having two mentors so the student can get answers even if one
of you is unavailable/offline.  And it means you can go on vacation
without feeling guilty :).

Hey,

Sorry for replying so late, I somehow missed this.

I will not be able to mentor this project by myself, mostly because I already have booked a vacation right when the mentoring is supposed to start.
Anyone else in this group wants to be a co-mentor?

Andreea

Message-ID: <5EDB4778-7DDE-41F5-8CC8-FB45CD44FDD1@openstack.org>

Join us this June in Vancouver for OpenDev + PTG, and grab your early bird tickets now <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/opendev-ptg-vancouver-2020-tickets-88923270897>! 

OpenDev + PTG is a new collaborative event organized by the OpenStack Foundation gathering developers, system architects, and operators to address common open source infrastructure challenges.

June 8-11, 2020
Vancouver Convention Centre - East Building

OpenDev will include discussion oriented sessions around a particular topic to explore a problem within a topic area, share common architectures, and collaborate around potential solutions. This OpenDev will focus specifically on the following Tracks, spanning open source projects, including Airship, Ansible, Ceph, Kata Containers, Kubernetes, OpenStack, StarlingX, and Zuul:
Hardware Automation
Large-scale Usage of Open Source Infrastructure Software
Containers in Production 
Key Challenges for Open Source in 2020 
The conversations will continue into the afternoon with the Project Teams Gathering (PTG) <https://www.openstack.org/ptg>. This is when the morning’s practices will be explored by project teams, SIGs and other workgroups who will have dedicated space to get work done in a productive setting, maximizing the ability of contributors to work through their project objectives in an environment that is focused towards work and productivity.
  
P.S. - Stay tuned for more info on OSF’s Q4 event, the Open Infrastructure Summit you know and love!

See you in Vancouver!

Subject: [Rust-VMM] Help Shape the Track Content for OpenDev + PTG,
 June 8-11 in Vancouver
Message-ID: <8CF7E147-949B-4064-913D-801A6BEB2A40@openstack.org>

Hi everyone,

Follow-up to my previous email about OpenDev + PTG Vancouver, June 8-11, 2020 <https://opendevptg2020.eventbrite.com/>. We need your help shaping this event! Our vision is for the content to be programmed by you-- the community. OSF is looking to kick things off by selecting members for OpenDev Programming Committees for each Track. That Program Committee will then select Moderators who will lead interactive discussions on a particular topic within the track. Below you'll have the opportunity to nominate yourself for a position on the Programming Committee, as a Moderator, or both, as well as suggesting specific Topics within each Track. PTG programming will kick off in the coming weeks.

If you’re interested in volunteering as an OpenDev Programming Committee member, discussion Moderator, or would like to suggest topics for moderated discussions within a particular Track, please read the details below, and then fill out this form <https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/opendev_vancouver2020_volunteer>. 

We’re looking for subject matter experts on the following OpenDev Tracks:
- Hardware Automation (accelerators, provisioning hardware, networking)
- Large-scale Usage of Open Source Infrastructure Software (scale pain points, multi-location, CI/CD)
- Containers in Production (isolation, virtualization, telecom containers)
- Key Challenges for Open Source in 2020 (beyond licensing, public clouds, ethics)

OpenDev Programming Committee members will: 
Work with other Committee members, which will include OSF representatives, to curate OpenDev content based on subject expertise, community input, and relevance to open source infrastructure
Promote the individual Tracks within your networks
Review community input and suggestions for Track discussions
Solicit moderators from your network if you know someone who is a subject matter expert
Ensure diversity of speakers and companies represented in your Track
Focus topics around on real-world user stories and technical, in-the-trenches experiences

Programming Committee members need to be available during the following dates/time commitments:
8 - 10 hours from February - May for bi-weekly calls with your Track's Programming Committee (plus a couple of OSF representatives to facilitate the call)
OpenDev, June 8 - 10, 2020 (not required, but preferred)
Programming Committee members will receive a complimentary pass to the event

Programming Committees will be comprised of a few people per Track who will work to select a handful of topics and moderators for each Track. The exact topic counts will be determined before Committees begin deciding.

OpenDev Discussion Moderators will 
Be appointed by the Programming Committees
Facilitate discussions within a particular Track
Have adequate knowledge and experience to lead and moderate discussion around certain topics during the event
Work with Programming Committee to decide focal point of discussion

Moderators need to be available to attend OpenDev, June 8 - 10, 2020, and will receive a complimentary pass. 


Programming Committee nominations are open until February 11. Deadlines to volunteer to be a moderator and suggest topics will be in late February.


Nominate yourself or suggest discussion topics here: https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/opendev_vancouver2020_volunteer <https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/opendev_vancouver2020_volunteer>

Cheers,
Claire
