Google Summer of Code 2011 - REMINDER: Please post your projects

[Till Kamppeter]

Hi,

I have sent out the mentoring organization application for the Linux 
Foundation yesterday. To get the best chances to get accepted one should 
have many project ideas posted.

Unfortunately, I did not see any ideas posted for the kernel, for 
wireless, or for driver backport. Please post your ideas as soon as 
possible, so that they get seen by the Google people when evaluating the 
mentoring organizations. Post also ideas for which you already have a 
student, but tell the student then that he will get the project anyway 
and the posting is only for the mentoring organization application.

Below is the link for the central project ideas page. Follow the links 
in there to get to your workgroup's page. If you need group membership 
for "gsoc", request membership and tell me.

Please forward this mail also to the appropriate people.

    Till

As explained many years ago, the kernel doesn't really lend itself to
GSoC projects, so there really isn't anything direct to list, sorry.

But as always, if students show up with valid proposals, I will be glad
to review them and possibly mentor them if needed.

thanks,

What about 802.11p ? There are some people already working on using
ath5k + 5/10MHz channels for that. I'll ping them in case they are
interested ;-)
