GSoC 2026 - Interested in Qubes as a Vagrant provider Project

[Ayush Ahire]

Heyy Qubes

My name is Ayush Ahire, and I am from Dr. D. Y. Patil College in Pune, India. Firstly I would like to call you Qubees, haha Qubes devs. I recently came across the GSoC project idea “Qubes as a Vagrant provider,” and it somehow caught me.

I have previously used Vagrant for a cybersecurity course, and the idea of integrating it with Qubes OS seems both technically challenging and very useful. I find the concept of much interesting.

This project excites me because it would allow me to deepen my understanding of both Vagrant and Qubes OS while contributing to a tool that can improve usability for many developers working with secure environments.

Tho I would be submitting the proposal on GSoC portal, just introducing myself.

Thankyou Qubees for your time
Ayush Ahire
