He did a lot of amazing work on Glance but sadly we are coming to the end of his internship as he will be graduating soon. I'm happy to report that we have the budget to fund another student part time to work on OpenStack again and I wanted to collect suggestions of projects/areas that a student could be helpful in.

If you are interested in helping mentor a student in any of those areas or have a better idea I am all ears :)

Thanks, part time help will be valuable too in policy work. For example, doing it for
1-2 projects (who has small set of policies) can be good progress.
