[Xen]Do some stuffs for xen

Post #1 of 8 (7021 views)

Hi lists and developers,

Maybe i should not talk about following stuffs here. If true, please
forgive me ;-).

I have subscribed our xen mail lists. And get our relevant
git repos. Actually, i wanna do some stuffs about Xen in GSOC
(Google Summer Of Code) 2012. So i am now searching for a mentor
in our Xen group, who can join GSOC 2012. I have studied some xen
blktap2 stuffs, which we add a new driver named "hlfs" for blktap2/drivers
to support our project 'Cloudxy' (http://code.google.com/p/cloudxy).
I also write some articles for building Xen environment here (sorry,
in Chinese).
(http://code.google.com/p/cloudxy/wiki/HowTo_Build_Xen_Env)
If no mentor will do some blktap2 stuffs i will do what the mentor like.
Because my major is Software Engineering at Xi'an University of Posts and
Telecommunications in China. I am now a Junior student who is interested
in Computer Science and Virtualization Technologies. I will do Xen project as
i could. I also did some patches for Linux Kernel
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=Harry+Wei).

So i am sure i will also take some patches for Xen (blktap2 or other portions).
I also developed some other projects during my university time. I am
now developing a project named 'Cloudxy' (http://code.google.com/p/cloudxy/).
It is about Cloud Calculating. Our ECMS (Elastic Cloud Management System)
is based on Xen Virtualization. I developed some Xen stuffs and HLFS, which is
based on Hadoop Hdfs and Log structured Filesystem(NILFS2 thoughts
in Kernel). I also did other portions about NBD(Network Block Device) driver.

I am familiar with C/C++, Erlang, Bash, Java, etc. And again, if any
developer wants to be a mentor for me in GSOC 2012 abdout Xen project,
feel free to contact me.
I will do a perfect job. Trust me please ;-)

Best wishes to us ;-)

Hi Stefano,

Our project's name is Cloudxy, which is about Cloud Calculating like
Amazon's EC2.
It has two sub-systems, which is ECMS (Elastic Cloud Managesystem System) and
HLFS(Hadoop hdfs and log structured Filesystem). Hlfs is like Amazon's EBS. ECMS
is a scheduling system, which distributes VM and recycles VM.

We have pluged our HLFS to xen's blktap2 as a driver like 'aio',
'vhd'. So we can use xen's
domu as our VM and HLFS as our blktap2 driver.

So i think if we have any mentor wanna to do blktap2's driver
development in GSOC 2012,
which i have done this portions for a long time. I am sure i can
develop this kind of driver
successfully. ;-) If you have some ideas about blktap2 drivers or
something ideas about
xen, feel free to contact me. You will be my mentor ;-)

Hi Stefano,

I am sorry i can not understand your words clearly. Let me descripe them to you.

You mean we should write a new wiki page on xen's wiki
(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki)
or our main page's wiki (http://code.google.com/p/cloudxy/w/list).
Then we should add
a new row to 'New Project Ideas' of
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/GSoC_2012_Ideas, which
has a linking to our new wiki page for descriping our project clearly.
That is to
say our project may join GSOC 2012 as one of the projects under xen
organization. Right ?

Any Comments?

Yeah, that's great! We will write a new wiki page and add a new row to

Stefano, Much thanks for your help ;-)

Hi Stefano,

We have written a new wiki page here
http://code.google.com/p/cloudxy/wiki/WHAT_IS_CLOUDXY
And we add a row to
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/GSoC_2012_Ideas#New_Project_Ideas , which add
our
project idea for xen. Our thoughts also contain the new wiki page's
link. I will also give another new
wiki page in English for describing HLFS for more details (Realize Mechanisms).

Any comments?

Yup, much thanks for reminding us of this mistake. I have added the task
we will do for GSOC 2012 in the xen.org GSOC wiki page. Cloud you please
have a look(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/GSoC_2012_Ideas#New_Project_Ideas) ;-).
I will also give another new wiki page in English for describing HLFS
for more details
(Realize Mechanisms) in this weekend.

Stefano, feel free to give other suggestions about my updating information.
we are very pleased to receive your help ;-)

And now mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google.
Our project is full of enthusiasms to join GSOC 2012 as a project
under org xen.org.
Anyway, we hope xen.org can interest our project. And if you have any
question or
request about our project, you cloud feel free to ask us to do. We
will very happy to
try our best to join GSOC 2012 as a project under org xen.org.

Stefano, thanks for your help ;-)
