Guys, I have some ideas but never got any of my ideas to fruition in the past so I'd like to donate/discuss them before taking myself too serious: 1. authentication plugins for public authentication providers like google/microsoft/facebook/... 2. a new usage subsystem design that basis itself on events rather than periods. 3. statistics export mech to get csv/ods/xls for metrics/events/usage/quota
there are some that I would not like to bother students with like x. facade and upgrade for logging y. facade for internal messaging mechanism (gson is way out of support) not sure if I dare take them on myself Daan On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 11:18 AM Rohit Yadav <rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Thanks for starting the thread Giles. > > I would like to propose an idea that would help community onboard users > with existing XenServer/VMware/* environments with VMs to CloudStack/KVM. > This may sound like a big task but I see virt-v2v being used by some > projects such as oVirt where it looks like virt-v2v does the heavy lifting > and the integration/duct-tape is all that is required: > https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4696 > > I've added the proposal on the comdev wiki: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/GSoC+2021+Ideas+list > > > Regards. > > ________________________________ > From: Giles Sirett <giles.sir...@shapeblue.com> > Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 14:59 > To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> > Cc: us...@cloudstack.apache.org <us...@cloudstack.apache.org>; > priv...@cloudstack.apache.org <priv...@cloudstack.apache.org> > Subject: Goggle Summer of Code 2021 > > Hi all > > It would be great if the CloudStack project were able to get a few Google > Summer of Code [1] students this year to work on projects within our > community.
