Student selection is over, and we have four slots -- quite some more than the one we had the previous years under the GNU umbrella... Let's hope for some good results :-) The selected projects are: * Lisp binding for Hurd translator libraries * Network virtualization for subhurds etc. * Usable procfs implementation * dtrace support Special cheers go to Sergiu Ivanov, whom we unfortunately couldn't select because he was impeded during the application phase, but who nevertheless is working on his project (namespace-based translator selection) as a volunteer with a dedication matching that of the selected students! The summer session has started by the end of May, and all the students are making good progress. We are in good hopes of seeing five successful projects at the end of this summer :-) ## '08 SoC students and interested non-students Minutes from the IRC meetings: [[25April08Minutes]], [[02May08Minutes]], [[16May08Minutes]] ## Wiki pages kept by '08 SoC students and interested non-students * [[scolobb]] - Namespace-based translator selection * [[da]] - Network virtualization * [[flavioc]] - Lisp bindings * [andrei](http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~abarbu/hurd/) - dtrace/systemtap port * [[procfs]] - GNU/Linux compatible procfs pseudo filesystem ## History 2006 and 2007 we participated in GSoC under the umbrella of the GNU project, getting one slot each year.
