Hi,
coreboot has been accepted to this year's GSoC. Students can apply with projects between March 10th and March 21st, but of course it helps to prepare a project proposal early and with feedback from coreboot developers.
If you know someone who's eligible (higher education student) and has interest in firmware development, please pass this on. If you're interested yourself, all the better: you've already subscribed to the right list.
More information can be found on GSoC's platform "Melange", https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2014/coreboot
Project ideas can be discussed here, or on IRC: http://www.coreboot.org/IRC
Regards, Patrick Georgi
