Folks:
A quick update for everyone on what's going on with GSoC. A week ago
today, our final selections were announced. This year, we've got five students
working on the following projects:
Pedro L Coutin-Portuondo will be working on audio for
the Raspberry Pi, over its multiple interfaces. Steve Stallion
will be mentoring, with Dave Eckhardt as backup.
Yan Cui will be implementing, integrating, and testing
alternative locking mechanisms. Charles Forsyth will be
mentoring, with Dave Eckhardt as backup.
Alexandre Esteves will be doing further work on the
browser-based Dis interpreter written in Dart. Charles
Forsyth will be mentoring; I'll be backup.
David Hoskin will me doing further work on the HTML 5
devdraw implementation and related bits. Erik Quanstrom
will be mentoring; I'll be backup.
Jessica Yu will be writing a multi-queue scheduler for
multiprocessor Plan 9 systems. Erik Quanstrom will be
mentoring, with Steve Stallion as backup.
Congratulations to all the students who're participating. We're now in
the "community bonding" period, so get comfortable and acquainted. Thanks,
also, to all the students who applied; we had more interesting proposals than
slots to fill, and overall I think this round of proposals had the highest
average quality of any year's GSoC I've seen. Even if we couldn't find a spot
for you in GSoC, we do hope you'll stick around.
Further updates will mostly happen only on the plan9-gsoc Google group,
but we'll make sure everyone checks in here a few times during the summer. If
you want to follow along more closely, feel free to join that group.
Your friendly neighborhood GSoC org admin,
Anthony
