[Spice-devel] Getting involved with implementation of remote spice for 3D accelerated VMs

[Behrooz Shabani]

Thanks Gerd and hello mailing list :-),

As it is obvious from my previous email, I am looking for some guidance to
make some contribution while I am working on my specialization.

At this moment, I know what I like to be able to do with Spice:

   - Remote access with 3D acceleration
   - Decoding the video stream via GPU on the client.

However, I have no idea what their status is and where I should begin to
contribute. Therefore, any information towards making me useful to spice
(as I want to do more than just basing my research on virtgl/spice), would
be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have joined the IRC channel with the nickname `behrooz` as well.
