Dear Rust-VMM community, This is an invitation to Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) held by ISCAS (Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences). About Open Source Promotion Plan -------------------------------- The Open Source Promotion Plan is a summer program organized by the Open Source Software Supply Chain Promotion Plan of the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2020. It aims to encourage university students to actively participate in the development and maintenance of open source software, cultivate and discover more outstanding developers, promote the vigorous development of excellent open source software communities, and assist in the construction of open source software supply chains. The program collaborates with various open source communities, providing project development tasks for the development and maintenance of important open source software, and is open for registration to university students worldwide. Students can independently choose projects they are interested in, apply, and after selection, carry out development under the guidance of project developers (community mentors). Based on the project's difficulty and completion, participants (*mentors and mentees*) will receive a bonus, and a completion certificate for mentees. Who can Mentor ---------------------- Regular contributors, maintainers and gatekeepers of Rust-VMM can participate as mentors. Mentorship involves about 5 hours of time commitment per week to communicate with the intern, review their patches, etc. Time is also required during the intern selection phase to communicate with applicants. Being a mentor is an opportunity to help someone get started in open source development, will give you experience with managing a project in a low-stakes environment, and a chance to explore interesting technical ideas that you may not have time to develop yourself. Please read mentor guide: https://summer-ospp.ac.cn/help/en/mentor/ How to Participate ---------------------- As an organization, RustVMM need a `community contact` who is responsible for registering RustVMM org in OSPP, and submit passed proposals to OSPP. As a mentor, you should submit (raise a PR) a project proposal in: https://github.com/rust-vmm/community, if your PR gets merged, then your proposal is considered as accepted. Proposals will be reviewed and selected by RustVMM community.
