GSoC Introduction: VirtualBox Guest Additions
Hello. I’m Mike and I’ll be porting part of the VirtualBox guest additions to Haiku. My full proposal is here, but briefly, the features I plan to port include:
- Mouse pointer integration
- Shared folders
- Shared clipboard
- Time synchronization
- An improved video driver
- Guest control (executing commands on the guest from the host)
- Guest properties
During the community bonding period I plan to spend a bit of time reading more code and discussing with the developers to learn more about how things work in both Haiku and VirtualBox. I also plan to play with mmu_man’s patch to get it to work with the latest versions of VirtualBox and Haiku so that I have a working base to start from when the coding period starts.
