GSoC proposal
by Илья Скапенко 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello, everyone. I want to participate in GSoC. Please, take a look at my draft version of proposal <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lYg5Tm0gr8neXa8j_vTUzFjkkHWBkQfTyqnkQ0J…>. Unfortunately I can't say anything about milestones and shedule, because of non acquaintance with the difficulty of this project. I desided to add some additional background information. I don't have any experience in patching or writing soucre for ReactOS. I also consider Integrating SMB in ReactOS as a potentional project. Could you advise me something?

Question about TCP/IP
by MarylandenyChu 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, I'd like to apply for "Fully Integrate lwIP" part this year. I noticed that in last year's idea list, this part is performed as another way: making a own TCP/IP implementation. I don't know why we change the direction to make fully integrate lwIP. Does it because that it seems very hard to finish? Can I have the answers? Thanks! 初炳享Chu Bingxiang哈尔滨工程大学计算机科学与技术学院College of Computer Science and Technology in Harbin Engineering University

Student Application for GSoC2016
by Viacheslav Lebedev 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

My name is Viacheslav (or just Slava). Firstly I want to say that I don’t have any special IT education and I am not a student already. I did not find such limitations in the description, but it seems that it is only for undergraduate students. I worked as a C++ programmer for 4.5 years. My job was to support the old projects. I don’t have any special skills. Do I have any chance to join you? *General info* Full Name: Viacheslav Lebedev Language: Russian and English (I don’t know my English level) Time Zone: UTC +3 ReactOS website Account Name: I don’t have it and don’t see the way to get it. *Time commitment* I don’t have plans in summer, but I have a job. If it will be necessary I can try to take a vacation or even leave it. *Proposed Project* I am a new here and it is too early for me to have my own idea. I think the only I can try is Search Band in Explorer. On Saturday, I saw Folder Treeview, but now it’s absent. Probably, it is also Applications Manager Rapps. I could try something special like Integrating SMB or Audio Mixer, but I am afraid I’ll fail it.

GSoC 2016: USB 3.0 Support
by Vardan Mikayelyan 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Hi, My name is Vardan, I am from National Polytechnic University of Armenia, and this is my 5th year here. I'm student of 1st course of master program. In parallel to studying I am contributing Linux USB stack and have community accepted commits which are presented in Linux 4.5-rc4. I saw ReactOS in GSoC organizations list, and it interested me as great place to learn and grow as professional developer. I am interested in driver development and especially I like USB stack. Because USB supports many kinds of transfers and USB protocols are interesting by themselves. I have investigated dwc2 driver in Linux Kernel. As you may know it is driver for dual-role HS USB controller, so I am familiar with USB HCD and gadget stacks. I have looked into ReactOS's git repo and saw that there is completely missing XHCI driver. In case of OHCI, UHCI and EHCI I saw Michael Martin's and Johannes Anderwald's drivers. As I understand one of them or someone from this community will be the mentor for the XHCI project in terms of GSoC 2016. For me is very interesting to work on NT platform, because till now I had only Linux Kernel development practice. I have few questions as probable applicant, 1. Should the deliverable XHCI driver support all kind of transfers? 2. How it will be tested and should it pass any kind of certification with any XHCI host controller? 3. Should it have support for non transfer related features? I mean for example LPM or Hibernation. 4. Will whole project entrusted to the one student or he'll be team member? >From your reply I want to understand what are you expecting form applicant and how can I fit to your expectations. Thanks in advance, Vardan.

Student Application
by Dasha Che 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Hello, my name is Dasha. I would like to apply to be a participant in your group for the Google Summer of Code. Below I have written out some of the information that you were asking for and I would be very grateful if you took the time to read over and consider it. General Info Name: Daria (Dasha) Chekhovskaya Languages: Fully fluent in both Russian and English Time Zone: Central Time Zone ReactOS website account name: N/A IRC nickname on Freenode: Dashka Time Commitment I have two main things that I have set in stone for this coming summer. I have to take a drivers ed course, because learning how drive is a useful skill as we all know, but the course is only two weeks long either in the mornings or in the afternoons, so it shouldn’t really get in the way much. The second is boxing. I take boxing and kickboxing lessons and also help out with some of the kids classes. It’s generally Monday to Friday for a couple hours in the evening. Most of the time that I would be working on the project on would probably be in the morning, evening, and into the late evenings. Proposed Projects -Folder Treeview in Explorer https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Ideas#Folder_TreeVi… -Audio Mixer https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Ideas#Audio_Mixer -NTFS Driver Improvement https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Ideas#NTFS_driver_i… One of the problems is that I don’t have a portfolio. I do have some precious experience in working in C++ and a couple other programming languages. I am by no means a professional but I’m always ready to listen and learn. I pick things up very quickly, so as long as I’m given pretty straight forward directions as to what needs to be done I, personally, have no doubts I’ll be able to figure out what to do. Best Regards, Dasha Chekhovskaya
