Xen project Mailing List

As always, thanks for the quick replies. Based on the ideas given so far, it sounds like I should plan on making frequent blog posts (weekly at a minimum) to summarize my progress (e.g. things I've learned, features implemented, blockers, etc.). These will appear on my personal website, so anyone in the Xen community and beyond can follow my progress. I'll send a link to my blog post along with related links and logistical details in a private email to Thomas, Mindy, and Anil. However, discussion in this private thread will be limited to my personal logistics and performance only; more specific and technical questions will be asked on github, and more general questions will be asked via this mailing list.

If I've misunderstood some suggestion or anyone involved has some objection to the above, please let me know!

Hi,
I recently received a notification from Google that my proposal for GSoC
'17 was accepted! I would like to thank the Mirage OS community, and
specifically my mentor, Thomas, for all the collaboration and review
that allowed me to write an accepted proposal.

Congratulations!! :) We're excited to have you with us.

I'm eager to begin work
on Irmin. First, however, I was wondering how GSoC students and their
mentors typically communicate within the Xen project. There are a lot of
logistics to flesh out, but it seems like those would clutter the
mailing list. What have student-mentor pairs done in the past?

I did an Outreachy internship with Mirage in 2014; part of that program's requirements is a weekly blog post on what you're doing. It can be at any level of detail, and any level of relatedness to the actual work you're engaged in.

I found writing and publishing blog posts at a regular and fairly high cadence to be extremely useful for surfacing my work (and incidentally, promoting the project). I also really liked that it was opt-in -- nobody was getting updates on what I was doing who didn't want them. It's not obligatory for GSoC folks like it is for Outreachy, but if you're interested in writing about your work I'd encourage you to consider it!
