Hi, It's time for a QEMU Advent Calendar again where the QEMU community shares a disk image every day from December 1st to 24th. The advent calendar is a fun project we do to showcase cool disk images and QEMU. You can view previous years here: https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/
This year we are looking for a new organizer to run the advent calendar. Please get in touch if you want to help make this QEMU tradition happen! You can also reply off-list with ideas for disk images that you'd like to contribute, but we need to find someone to run the advent calendar first. You might be wondering what the role involves? Don't worry, you don't need to create 24 disk images yourself. People will contribute them but a person needs to organize the whole effort: 1. Reaching out to QEMU and related communities for disk images. (We can help with this!) 2. Deciding the schedule for images with the contributors who will contact you. 3. Reviewing disk image contributions, trying them out, and checking they meet the software license requirements. 4. Announcing QEMU Advent Calendar at the end of November. (We can help with this!) 5. Posting accepted disk images to the qemu-advent-calendar.org website. Details of the disk image requirements are below if you want an idea of the format of disk images that people contribute. Have time? Want to get involved in the QEMU community? Please reply and help make QEMU Advent Calendar 2020 happen! Stefan --- Disk image requirements: * We need 24 disk images (for the first 24 days of December) * Content must be freely redistributable (i.e. no proprietary license that prevents distribution). For GPL based software, you need to provide the source code, too. * Provide a name and a short description of the disk image (e.g. with hints on what to try) * Provide a ./run shell script that prints out the name and description/hints and launches QEMU * Provide a screenshot/image/logo for the website (preferred resolution of the image is 320x240) * Size should be ideally under 100 MB per disk image (but if some few images are bigger, that should be OK, too)
