Summer of Code 2007 projects announced
I'm trying to allocate time for personal affairs right now,
and as such I'm trying to stay out of NetBSD's involvement in
Google Summer of Code this year - the team was joined by
motivated people and there is a list of projects that was
officially accepted now, see
the NetBSD press release:
- Julio M. Merino Vidal: Automated Testing Framework
- Oliver Gould: Porting ZFS
- Sumantra R. Kundu: A Framework For Enforcing QoS Inside the NetBSD UVM
- Antti Kantee: Running Kernel File Systems in Userspace
- Joerg Sonnenberger: Improving the pkgsrc Build System
- Jachym Holecek: Hardware Monitoring and HAL Port
The projects are available
on the NetBSD-Doc page at SourceForce,
will eventually hosts
the projects' CVS repository.
Maybe a word from me on the number of accepted projects:
Learning from the past two years in Google's SoC where we got
many suboptimal project proposals, we tried to maintain a rather
high bar to ensure quality of submissions this year. The result is that there
were less projects submitted, and as a consequence less
projects selected. I guess in future years we'll
still try to maintain quality, but also suggest more "simple"
projects. :)
