Hello, sorry for the cross-post (I couldn't quite decide...) I intend to apply as a GSoC student for porting debian-installer to the Hurd. I've started tinkering with busybox, as suggested on the ideas pages, and I will try to come up with a reasonably precise roadmap of the work needed in the coming weeks (I will post again on debian-boot and/or debian-hurd to request feedback when I do). Unless I'm mistaken, Samuel Thibault has already done some work and would be interested in mentoring such a project.
I understand this is a difficult project which involves a lot of things, however I have used the Hurd and done some debian-installer work in the past. I find the design of both to be rather elegant and I'd be delighted to have the opportunity to work on them full-time this summer. One question I have is about what organization I should submit my application to. Both Debian and GNU have been accepted by Google as mentoring organizations, and I beleive Hurd will participate as a GNU project, as they did in the previous years. Would it be appropriate to apply to both? (after all, who am I to deny either of them a chance to accept my application :-P) Of course I'd also be interested in any advice you would care to give me and I would be glad to answer any question you may have. -- Jérémie Koenig <j...@jk.fr.eu.org> http://jk.fr.eu.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
