This mostly depends on two factors: 1) Would you have been accepted as student for gsoc? There's a certain skill level required to participate. If for example I'd have to spend 3 weeks full-time explaining things before you even could get started with real work, unfortunately the trade-off is too bad. 2) Is there anyone willing to mentor the project you're trying to do? Qemu is a very broad project. If you happen to choose a part of it that nobody understands, you might end up not getting anyone willing to mentor you :). Also keep in mind that Qemu is an open source project, so we all mentor each other all the time. That's what this whole patch review thing is about :). Alex
