Call for GSoC/Outreachy internship project ideas

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Dear QEMU and KVM communities,
QEMU will apply for the Google Summer of Code and Outreachy internship
programs again this year. Regular contributors can submit project
ideas that they'd like to mentor by replying to this email before
January 30th.

Internship programs
---------------------------
GSoC (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and Outreachy
(https://www.outreachy.org/) offer paid open source remote work
internships to eligible people wishing to participate in open source
development. QEMU has been part of these internship programs for many
years. Our mentors have enjoyed helping talented interns make their
first open source contributions and some former interns continue to
participate today.

Who can mentor
----------------------
Regular contributors to QEMU and KVM 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.

How to propose your idea
----------------------------------
Reply to this email with the following project idea template filled in:

=== TITLE ===

'''Summary:''' Short description of the project
