GSoC 2017 Consideration - Qemu

[Aaron]

Hello,

My name is Aaron. I am writing this letter because I would like to enter
my name consideration in your [possible specificity] project. I did not
participate in the pre-application phase, which I know places me at a
disadvantage, and as a result I am sending this email to probe your
interest.

Your organization's participation in the Summer of Code is somewhat
serendipitous for me. I had previously been communicating with the Qemu
organization about the possibility of porting their software to
additional platforms, but they were not receptive (possibly even
planning to remove platform support). Porting qemu, is exactly what I've
been wanting to do. I've also read through some of your mailing lists
and I don't believe that anyone else is taking this task on.

With all of that said: are you willing to accept new candidates, or are
you only selecting from those that have already communicated?


Thank you for any thoughts you might have,

Aaron Hudson

P.S.

I made the mistake of emailing the main ***@microkernel.info, which has
only exacerbated the issue. The message above was the original message
sent to that mailing list.

Thanks for your introduction. As you know the proposal deadline is April
3rd. Since there is hardly any time to get a feeling for your expertise
until then, I would suggest that you just submit a proposal. If it is
technically sound and describes your expertise/skills sufficiently, we
will give it a chance.

Regards,

Sebastian
