Here is a short overview of the students who have been selected to work with the X.org foundation: == DRM Render/Modeset Nodes == Student: David Herrmann Mentor: Dave Airlie (airlied) Blog: http://dvdhrm.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/drm-render-and-modeset-nodes/ == Add Xv support to Glamor == Student: Chuan He Mentors: Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) & Alex Deucher (agd5f) Blog: http://bigchuan.xanga.com/ == Reverse engineering NVidia's performance counters and exposing them via nv_perfmon == Student: Samuel Pitoiset (hakzsam) Mentor: Martin Peres (mupuf) Blog: http://hakzsam.wordpress.com/ == Implementing GL_EXT_direct_state_access == Student: Dylan Noblesmith Mentor: Ian Romanick Proposal: http://www.cs.usm.maine.edu/~noblesmith/gsoc2013proposal-ext-direct-state-access.txt On a related note, Francisco Jerez (curro) has also been accepted to work on a TGSI backend for LLVM, mentored by Tom Stellar (tstellar). This effort will likely bring support for openCL to Nouveau and could also bring support to r300g, freedreno, etc... Proposal: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-April/060917.html The project list looks pretty interesting, I hope the results will be just as good :) Martin (AKA mupuf)
