Hi Anastasia,

Thanks for the merge (Feel great contributing to flashrom). Thanks for helping me better understand flashrom and the projects for GSoC. As I said before I am interested in "Optimize Erase-Function Selection" and "Fix Endianness Issues" (I still cant decide which one to choose, kinda wanna do both if possible). I have understood what is the aim of the projects and also have some idea as to how to go about it.

I have read the proposal template and have some questions:

In the project info section, do I have to write the same as given in the projects idea list, or do I write what I have understood (in the short and long descriptions)? Also, what is expected in the project breakdown?

Will I be doing the project alone or the mentor(s) will be guiding me?

I have completed a rough draft for my proposal, can someone review it?

Aarya.

Hi Aarya,

I fully agree with Simon, you are doing great!

I have just submitted the first one out of your patches, congrats! Well done :)
Few more of them seem to be almost ready, just some comments about commit messages need to be resolved.

Don't be surprised that you are getting so many comments about commit messages. The reason is, once a patch is submitted, commit message stays in history forever and it cannot be changed. So it is very important to get it right.
Sometimes one need to go through the history of commits, to understand why some code was written as is - and commit message should be able to explain why.

On the project side, read our project proposal template (if you haven't already) and see if you have any questions about it. Also you can prepare questions that you would ask the Mentor.
