Hello coreboot!
coreboot has been accepted for GSoC 2013. There are details on how to apply and project ideas on the coreboot wiki.
https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/coreboot
I expect that there will be some new interest from students and that they will join IRC and ask lots of interesting questions. Please try to be kind, helpful, and encouraging. Many students are not familiar with the complexity and issues involved in firmware and bootloaders. Please feel free to direct students towards any of the mentors listed on the wiki or to me directly.
Please let me know if you are interested in being a mentor. If you have ideas, the projects page can be updated.
If you know any students, tell them about GSoC and promote coreboot!
Regards, Marc
