landscape of open-source software development, fostering |
| the growth of young talents and innovators is essential. One remarkable program |
| that stands at the forefront of this mission is the <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Summer of Code |
| (GSoC)</a>. For years, GSoC has been an |
| invaluable platform for students to collaborate with prominent open-source |
| organizations, and Apache CloudStack is proud to be a part of this |
| transformative journey.</p><p>As an open-source Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, Apache CloudStack |
| has consistently provided a robust, scalable, and reliable solution for building |
| and managing cloud environments. With a global community of developers and |
| contributors, CloudStack has had an ongoing commitment to the GSoC programme and |
| its students in the last years. We believe that young talents should be led in |
| their open-source journey and projects shall be willing to help them learn and |
| develop new skills and knowledge.</p><h1>A Word From this Year’s Participant and Mentor</h1><p><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/ayush-99b8c81091fd2c374e8abe2028e7ab5d.png" title="Ayush" width="97" height="128" class="img_ev3q"></p><blockquote><p>“Working on the Apache CloudStack project gave me the opportunity to understand |
| how cloud computing infrastructure as a service works, the usage of nested |
| virtualization and all other technical aspects involved.</p><p>The community has been really welcoming and supportive, and I’m excited to be a |
| part of this community.”</p><p>-<!-- --> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsayushpandey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ayush Pandey</a>, GSoC 2023 Student</p></blockquote><p><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/nicolas-e4954d436f405557c37e007ccbf404c6.png" title="Nicolas" width="128" height="129" class="img_ev3q"></p><blockquote><p>“I am very excited to be coordinating the CloudStack projects for the Google |
| Summer of Code 2023 and mentoring Ayush on his project. I think GSOC is a great |
| experience as an introduction to open-source projects and meeting its community, |
| and from the mentor side it’s a great opportunity to meet and support talented |
| people.”</p><p>-<!-- --> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nvazquezuy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nicolas Vazquez</a>, GSoC 2023 Mentor</p></blockquote><h1>The Impact of GSoC on Open-source Technologies</h1><p>In 2023, the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program made a resounding impact on |
| the world of open-source software development. With an impressive participation |
| of 966 new contributors from across the globe, GSoC facilitated their engagement |
| in 12+ week projects, collaborating with 168 open-source organizations. This |
| global initiative united mentors and contributors hailing from over 75 |
| countries, creating a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and learning.</p><p>For nearly two decades, GSoC has thrived on the collective enthusiasm of |
| open-source communities and the dedication of 19,000+ volunteer mentors, each |
| spending between 50 to 150 hours guiding over 20,000 contributors since 2005. In |
| 2023, this tradition continued with 168 mentoring organizations and a staggering |
| 1,950 mentors supporting the program.</p><h1>A Preview of the Work Completed by GSoC Students</h1><p>This year, Ayush worked on adding implementation of import/export instances to |
| the KVM hypervisor. The unmanaging instance feature is only available for the |
| VMWare hypervisor in the latest version of CloudStack. This summer, Ayush worked |
| on extending it to the KVM hypervisor. Click here to learn more about his |
| project - <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/projects/f0gpheQM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/projects/f0gpheQM</a></p><p>You can also see the CloudStack community submission to GitHub here - |
| <a href="https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/7712" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/7712</a></p><p>In last year’s CloudStack Collaboration Conference, a previous GSoC mentor, Daan |
| Hoogland, held a talk, where he reviewed the involvement of CloudStack in GSoC, |
| and looked at some of the work done by the GSoC students.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDDoxFwhIvw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/daan-7e887a846b8c75426ffe0031451493e1.png" title="Daan on GSoC" width="1384" height="650" class="img_ev3q"></a></p></div><footer class="row docusaurus-mt-lg blogPostFooterDetailsFull_mRVl"><div class="col"><b>Tags:</b><ul class="tags_jXut padding--none margin-left--sm"><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/news">news</a></li></ul></div><div class="col margin-top--sm"><a href="https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-www/tree/main/blog/2023-09-25-gsoc-2023/index.md" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="theme-edit-this-page"><svg fill="currentColor" height="20" width="20" viewBox="0 0 40 40" class="iconEdit_Z9Sw" aria-hidden="true"><g><path d="m34.5 11.7l-3 3.1-6.3-6.3 3.1-3q0.5-0.5 1.2-0.5t1.1 0.5l3.9 3.9q0.5 0.4 0.5 1.1t-0.5 1.2z m-29.5 17.1l18.4-18.5 6.3 6.3-18.4 18.4h-6.3v-6.2z"></path></g></svg>Edit this page</a></div></footer></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Blog post page navigation"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href="/blog/ccc2023-agenda-revealed"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Newer Post</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">CloudStack Collaboration Conference Agenda is Now Live!</div></a><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--next" href="/blog/cloudstack-4.18.1-release"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Older Post</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Apache CloudStack 4.18.1.0 Release</div></a></nav></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class="margin-bottom--sm"><a href="https://cloudstack.apache.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footerLogoLink_BH7S"><img src="/img/ACS_logo_slogan.svg" alt="Apache CloudStack logo" class="themedImage_ToTc themedImage--light_HNdA footer__logo"><img src="/img/ACS_logo_slogan.svg" alt="Apache CloudStack logo" class="themedImage_ToTc themedImage--dark_i4oU footer__logo"></a></div><div class="footer__copyright"> |
