Re: [MirageOS-devel] [GSoC'17] Interested in contributing to MirageOS

[Mindy <mindy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Harshit!  It's great to hear that you're interested in working on the 
project.  I'm Mindy, one of the co-administrators (with Lars Kurth) for 
this round of GSoC and Outreachy.
Have you had any experience with OCaml or MirageOS yet?  If not, I would 
recommend having a look at Real World OCaml, a free online book on the 
programming language, which is available at https://realworldocaml.org 
.  We also have some MirageOS introductory material available at 
https://mirage.io/docs/ under the "getting started" header.  Any 
problems you find in those documents would be great first contributions 
- you can find help on contributing at 
https://mirage.io/wiki/contributing . :)
On the specific projects you mention:

The `ssh` project has recently seen a lot of work from Christiano 
Haesbaert (although it's not yet released) - you might want to check 
with Christiano on the current status.  You can also see the project at 
https://github.com/haesbaert/awa-ssh directly.
The `telnet` project got some contributions last year from Hannes 
Mehnert, who watches this list and hopefully can tell you about the 
current status.  I think he can also update on the current status of 
`sasl`, as he's the maintainer of the XMPP library mentioned in the 
paragraph description from which some preliminary client code could be 
taken.
The `swim` project got a bit of initial work last year, which you can 
see at https://github.com/andreas/mirage-swim , but I haven't heard much 
about it since and there haven't been any contributions lately.
I'm not aware of any current or recent work on the tiny VM for easy load 
testing.  I'll check with the mentor to see whether that project is 
still viable.
Thanks,

Mindy
