(cross-posted message; please keep discussion on freebsd-hackers@)
Hello,
Last year FreeBSD qualified for Google Code-In 2011 event--contest
for
youngest open-source hackers in 13-17yr age range:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2012
It was successful. We gained one more FreeBSD developer thanks to
that
(Isabell Long) We're pondering participating in the contest this
year as
well.
For now we only have 25 ideas. We need at least 100.
I felt all members of the FreeBSD community should help, so please
submit
your own Google Code-In 2012 ideas here:
http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/4aU93Obxo4NYdVAgb1
Examples of previously completed tasks:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011Tasks
Those of you who have Wiki access, please spent 2 more minutes and
submit
straight to Wiki:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2012Tasks
I plan to send out next e-mail if there's any progress on this
project.
Help will be appreciated.
Update:
It looks pretty bad so far. Page:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2012Tasks
Has 38 tasks so far out of which:
~30 would qualify.
Consider this e-mail to be the last call for action. Otherwise we'll
have to
pull back and concentrate our efforts on GSOC instead.
One thing I can think to add if it's not already been done and if its a
practical idea for the Google project, would be to update the mount_udf
command to support newer versions of UDF. It looks like as of FreeBSD 7
that 1.02 & 1.50 are supported, I( haven't been able to find any more
recent documentation to support whether or not updates have been made
since then.
I only know that server I have running 9.0, for the purpose of hosting
ISO images on the network so they are available to our ESX environment
for mounting as a local CDROM/DVD within virtual machines, and also
available as files over a network share, can't mount the some of the
more recent DVDs in the UDF format, but I am unsure which format they
are in, they could be 2.0, 2.5, or 2.6.
