2009-03-12 | GSoC student application form: Add note on application title | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | mtab GSoC task: fix typos | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | I/O tuning GSoC task: Update exercise suggestion | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | Pthreads conversion GSoC task: Update exercise suggestion | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | Pthreads conversion GSoC task: Add Barry as possible mentor | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | Pthreads conversion GSoC task: Merge notes about previous work | antrik | |
Barry's work is available in the savannah task, so no need to mention it explicitely. | |||
2009-03-12 | Pthreads conversion GSoC task: Drop cthreads wrapper option | antrik | |
As the native conversion is mostly done, such a wrapper probably wouldn't save any work now. | |||
2009-03-12 | Pthread conversion GSoC task: Mention libfuse problem | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | Diskfs locking GSoC task: Change exercise | antrik | |
The result of the previous exercise probably couldn't be considered a useful patch -- not suitable for going into mainline at least. | |||
2009-03-12 | Diskfs locking GSoC task: Add note about code review | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | NFS GSoC task: Update exercise suggestion | antrik | |
Explicitely mention that the exercise might not be suitable for producing a patch, and it might be necessary to find an alternative task. | |||
2009-03-12 | NFS GSoC task: Refer to Madhusudan's discussion | antrik | |
2009-03-12 | NFS GSoC task: Mention that locking is problematic in general | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Network stack GSoC task: Additional exercise suggestion | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Network stack GSoC task: Monolitic implementation sufficient for the beginnig | antrik | |
A modular implementation is not realistic in the GSoC timeframe; and starting with a monolithic one probably makes sense from an engineering standpoint anyways. Also, it's probably better than what we have now... | |||
2009-03-10 | Network stack GSoC task: Fix sentence | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Drop kernel instrumentation (dtrace) GSoC task | antrik | |
The stuff Andrei worked on last year isn't quite ready yet, but leave it for now... | |||
2009-03-10 | Server overriding GSoC task: Update "last year"... | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Server overriding GSoC task: Socket server overriding patch as example | antrik | |
Mention Zheng Da's socket overriding patch as an example of approach (1), intead of mentioning it in the "status" section. | |||
2009-03-10 | Server overriding GSoC task: Explicitely mention relation to virtualization task | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Glue code GSoC task: Rework exercise suggestion | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Glue code GSoC task: Reword statement about previous experience | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Glue code GSoC task: More explicitely suggest using ddekit | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Drop procfs GSoC task | antrik | |
While the procfs produced in last year's GSoC is still very buggy, this probably doesn't justify another GSoC project. | |||
2009-03-10 | File locking GSoC task: Update exercise suggestion | antrik | |
While the suggestion is certainly good as an exercise, it is probably not suitable for producing an actual patch quickly. Warn about this, and explicitely mention that finding a different task might be necessary. | |||
2009-03-10 | Drop namespace-based translator selection GSoC task | antrik | |
Sergiu Ivanov is working on this. | |||
2009-03-10 | Virtualization GSoC task: Drop subhurds subtask | antrik | |
Zheng Da is currently working on rootless subhurds etc. | |||
2009-03-10 | Language bindings GSoC task: Rewrote note on previous Perl work | antrik | |
Explicitely mention that the previous work can serve as a reference only -- most likely we can't use it directly because of missing copyright assignment. Probably it also uses a suboptimal technical approach. (Haven't checked.) | |||
2009-03-10 | Language bindings GSoC task: Better starting point for Python bindings | antrik | |
2009-03-10 | Partial revert: Too much deleted while updating Lisp status | antrik | |
2009-03-09 | Mention cthread vs. pthread problem in language bindings GSoC task | antrik | |
2009-03-09 | Language bindings GSoC task: Lisp implemented last year | antrik | |
2009-03-09 | GSoC project ideas list: Inline each subpage individually | antrik | |
This gives us better control -- in particular over the ordering. It will also allow easily disabling ideas without removing them alltogether, which I consider useful. | |||
2009-03-09 | put myself as possible mentor, add comment on the pthread project | Samuel Thibault | |
2009-03-08 | Use actual URL instead of wiki link for project list in GSoC application form | antrik | |
This way it can be pasted into the application form directly. | |||
2009-03-07 | Update questions in GSoC application according to the actual form | antrik | |
2009-03-07 | Rework introduction section in GSoC project ideas list | antrik | |
Make it clear that we explicitely require the students to contact us, and to submit a patch as part of the application process. Most of this information is redundant with the introduction section of the student application form. This is not a problem: If they read it twice, there is a better chance that they will take it seriously... | |||
2009-03-05 | community/gsoc/project_ideas: Split into subpages. | Thomas Schwinge | |
2009-03-05 | Update copyright years. | Thomas Schwinge | |
2009-03-05 | Add hook for additional information in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Add question about code maintainance after GSoC end to student application form | antrik | |
The main purpose is to get a clear statement about whether the student intends to stick around after the end of GSoC... | |||
2009-03-05 | Explain question about possible obstacles in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Explain question about time commitment in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Split time commitment and other activities questions in GSoC student ↵ | antrik | |
application form While these questions are related in establishing how much time the student will work on the project, they need to be handled (and explained) distinctly. | |||
2009-03-05 | Reworked and explained vacations/exams question in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Merged and reworked IRC and time zone questions in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Reworked mailing list question in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
Dropped bit about mailing list experience in general. It doesn't really mattter for our selection process. Also, make it explicit that this in not really a question, but rather a hint to subscribe ASAP. | |||
2009-03-05 | Explain questions about Hurd in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Merge questions about Hurd project in GSoC student application form | antrik | |
2009-03-05 | Drop questions about Hurd experience from GSoC student application form | antrik | |
The purpose of these question was to encourage students to get some experience with using and developing Hurd during the application process. This indirect hint didn't really work anyways; and it's not necessary anymore, as we now explicitely require submitting a patch. |
