It's very late to propose a custom project idea. I have CCed people who may have comments about the idea in general. Here are the steps: 1. Find a mentor (probably from among the people I CCed) 2. Flesh out the project idea, decide what is realistic to achieve 3. Submit your application at http://google-melange.com/ by 21st March 19:00 UTC Finally, slots (funding) are limited and a project proposed late is last in line to receive a slot. There are already 11 ideas on the wiki and last year we got funding for 9. Realistically, it seems that it's too late. I recommend you focus on one of the project ideas already on the wiki: http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 Stefan
