Google Summer Of Code 2006 mentoring organization request

[Aleksey Bragin]

    Hello,
I just want to let you know that I submitted a request to Google's Summer Of 
Code 2006, for ReactOS Foundation to become a mentoring organization in SOC 
2006.
I will let you know their decision as soon as they send the reply to me.


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.

I'm looking forward to this, please let me know how it goes (I already 
have an idea or two)

Good news: Google SoC just granted ReactOS submission to SoC 2006 !

We are negotiating technical details now, and soon information will appear 
on the official SoC 2006 web-site.

Meanwhile, we already should start compiling a list of project's suggestions 
for it. Everyone is welcome to provide suggested projects, however please 
have in mind that only 1 student can do 1 project (or separate part of the 
bigger project). The project should sound interesting to a student who takes 
it, it should be doable and should have exact tasks to do.

Examples of good projects suggestions:
- Develop ext3 IFS driver for Windows XP/2003
- Develop Reiser IFS driver for Windows XP/2003
- Develop a Windows XP or 2003 compatible USB 2.0 stack based on Linux's USB 
drivers using a wrapper

Examples of bad projects suggestions:
- Rewrite win32k
- Finish ReactOS
- similar vast and not exact things.


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

For the sake of full disclosure:

[15:38] <Alex_Ionescu> - Winlogon/GINA. an actual login and multi-user
implementation
[15:39] <Alex_Ionescu> - Any windows application a student might want to
clone. MMC would be a good one.
[15:39] <Alex_Ionescu> or a set of cmd-line apps
[15:39] <Alex_Ionescu> - The explorer enhancements i wrote in 0.3.0 "wow
factor" stuff, plus other explorer enhancements to make it more like windows
[15:39] <Alex_Ionescu> - UXTheme support
[15:40] <Alex_Ionescu> - Sound architecture (the stuff silverblade was
working on. wdmaud.sys/drv, ks.sys, etc)
[15:40] <Alex_Ionescu> - Improving WIDL so we have to stop relying on
MIDL (for RPC stuff, this is CRITICAL for ROS services)
[15:43] <Alex_Ionescu> oh and another one, if grtlord is ok with it, directx
[15:47] <Alex_Ionescu> oh yeah
[15:47] <Alex_Ionescu> fixing NPFS

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu

I would just be happy with some foss network card drivers. 3com
905x/95x, Intel Either Express and Nvidia, etc. Networking works well
enough now, we just need more drivers.

Oh and a UDF driver for DVD support although that is low on my
priority list. The network card drivers are much more important to me.
