Announcing QEMU Google Summer of Code 2026 internships
QEMU is participating in Google Summer of Code once again! Google Summer of Code is an open source internship program with internships running May through August. Would you like to experience contributing to an open source project? This paid remote work internship opportunity is a great way to get involved!
Interns work with experienced QEMU developers who mentor them during the internship. Code is submitted through the same open source process that all QEMU developers follow. This gives interns experience with contributing to open source software.
