Google Summer of Code

by Paul E. McKenney

Hello! Google Summer of Code is coming up, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code focuses on open-source projects. The effort should be something that a student could get done in about two months, and cannot be critical. Some bandwidth is of course required for mentoring. Is anyone interested in acting as a mentor? Thanx, Paul

I could look at * ftrace * kprobes * VFP/NEON coredump support * Thumb2 kernel benchmarking (not included in the original blueprints) In the meantime, I'll continue pushing the OMAP Thumb2 kernel stuff, but the real work is complete. I've had a brief look at the coredump stuff, but I'm not committed yet. I'm keen to hear people's views on which task sounds the most useful.

by Paul E. McKenney

Hello! Just a reminder, we are going to be using IRC rather than phone for today's linaro-kernel meetings. Let's use #linaro-kernel on Freenode for today's linaro-kernel meetings. Thanx, Paul
