d2d1 in ReactOS

by Giovanni Mascellani

Dear ReactOS developers, I am nosing inside Wine and ReactOS code to understand something of their inner workings. I wanted to compare the code of d2d1.dll, but apparently ReactOS does not have it. Is this intentional, is it just still to be implemented, or is there any other explanation? Thanks and all the best, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani <g.mascellani(a)gmail.com> Postdoc researcher - Université Libre de Bruxelles

GSoC 2018

by Abhishek Singh Bisht

Hi there, I am interested in a couple of projects under System enhancement, that I found on your projects list: 1) NT6 Recycle Bin Project 2) Search Shell extension 3) WebKit based MSHTML implementation Kindly help me choose one, if I could get some more information regarding the projects, it would be really helpful and I can go ahead with the proposal. Also, I have performed a complete build of ReactOS Live CD, and Boot CD and gave it a test run. I found it lacking a decent browser, tried to run iexplore.exe but it still couldn’t load any web pages. I might be able to create something to help improve on this. Looking forward to contribute to this reactOS. Thanks, Abhishek

Yet another GSoC proposal

by Victor Perevertkin

Hi all! I am a student and I want to try to participate in gsoc this year. I follow ReactOS news for 4 years, I think (and even reported a few bugs). I am a web developer but some time ago I started to study ASM and C (but no C++ yet) in my university and found it very interesting for me. I want to learn more about OSDev and maybe join your team finally :) There are some thoughts about what I want to do for ROS during this summer. 1. Make ReactOS boot from btrfs. As far as I understand, freeldr does not support btrfs and this code must be written. And boot sector ofc I prefer this task the most (as for now). But maybe you will dispel my dreams by saying that it requires too much effort for summer internship :) 2. I've already talked with Thomas Faber on IRC and he said that there are some drivers that are in need of being (re)written. NICs and bluetooth drivers may be interesting to me but I'm not sure if I can get through it. So I'm asking your advice. Are this things doable for a student? Maybe there are some other interesting low-level things for a GSoC'er? Do you have mentors for them? Basically, I want something low-level which doesn't require deep knowledge of NT internals. Thanks! Victor Perevertkin
