Hi all,
GSoC 2009 is approaching and although the number of total slots has been reduced, there is a chance we might get some slots for coreboot and/or flashrom. We might want to apply separately for coreboot and flashrom, maybe also for buildrom or libpayload because they are essentially separate projects. I don't know if SeaBIOS would benefit from GSoC because it seems rather complete to me.
Deadline for organizational applications: March 13, 2009 noon. No application possible before March 9, 2009 noon. http://code.google.com/intl/de/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html#0_1_org_apply_...
Full timeline: http://code.google.com/intl/de/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html#0_1_timeline_5...
Regards, Carl-Daniel

Any ideas for projects?
Hi,
due to a severe lack of spare time I am not going to set any gsoc effort up this year. If someone wants coreboot to participate, I suggest you stand up now and do it. The deadline for mentoring organizations is coming pretty close. I'll gladly share my experience from previous years with any new mentors/org admins.
Best regards,
Stefan

Hi all It sounds interesting. If there is any proper projects, I would like to join in.

I wouldn't mind helping out where I can eithor. The problem is I haven't heard any ideas for projects.....
The project I'd like to see is AVATT v. 2 -- get it on real hardware.
AVATT is a virtual machine in flash. kernel + kvm + coreboot.
But, people are good to want to join in, but the hard part is leading it. It's tremendous work. You don't want to start GSOC unless you are sure you can finish it.
Stefan, how many hours per week and hours total did you put into GSOC? Did you get any sleep?

It should be 5 hours per week and per student minimum. I think for a good mentoring this might not always be enough, though it's sometimes hard to reach even that. Think I was trying to mentor 7 students in the first year.
That said, I filled out a registration form for gsoc 09 after quite some people showed interest in helping out. If we do this, we should make sure the students get a good time and all the help they need to do stuff.

Me too. Can I?

I have two more ideas:
- vga option rom for geode LX (same as last year, didn't get done due too few students assigned to us) - storage option rom for usb boot in seabios. (I started this already, but I am not sure if I can finish it)

I like these :-)
What about a filo read/write on-flash file system (1 block would be plenty) to store filo.conf for filo 1.0??

Actually it would be better to make the read/write on-flash file system part of libpayload so any payload can use it.

It might be useful if we could make such a file system accessible from Linux, too. Could we extend flashrom so that it can mount this filesystem via fuse?

I think we can list all of the ideas together and choose those which fit for the GSoc 2009.
