GSoC 2025 Project Proposal

[Abhinav Chavali]

Hello,
I am a student at the Pennsylvania State University looking to contribute
to FreeBSD in the summer, in some form or another. I've been a desktop user
of FreeBSD for several years now, and would now like to learn a specific
subsystem and undergo a potential project for this summer.

My experience with FreeBSD development is limited to writing simple kernel
modules, although I have a strong understanding of C and Unix programming
(and am willing to spend as much time as required before summer to fill in
the gaps in my knowledge). I have already taken a look at the GSoC projects
page, but I'm not sure how many of these are still relevant. Could anyone
suggest a project that someone with my experience level could reasonably
learn and complete? Also contacts to potential mentors would be very
helpful.

Thank you,
Abhinav Chavali

You could try to patch or rewrite bhyve so that it can accelerate qemu. We
need this.
