Google Summer of Code 2007: Update
Playing an MP3 over NFS on Haiku
Yesterday, Google has assigned 7 preliminary student slots to us, which is as many as we wanted to have. Haiku would like thank all the students that have applied for projects and those that have assisted in this step of the program. Overall, we received 42 student applications. In the next days we will finalize the list of accepted student projects for Haiku.
At 0:00 UTC on April 12, 2007, the list of accepted student applications will be posted on code.google.com. As some of you might have noticed, Hugo Santos, one of our student candidates, couldn't wait anymore and already started improving our network stack. Recently, he fixed a bug in our UDP protocol module which prevented the NFS module from functioning reliably. In the screenshot you can see Haiku playing an MP3 file over NFS.

Hugo is a powerhouse
Looks like there's a new basement dweller... Hugo has been pounding out the commits!
He also made some changes to the DHCP earlier on that seemed to fix the last remaining issues I was seeing with my xDSL router here.
Thanks Hugo!
Seven GSoC slots sounds extremely generous - we are fortunate to have gotten such a good response this year.
Congrats Haiku team!
Woot
I'am so glad to resfresh the activity stats daily :)
Sweet mother of code! Seven
Sweet mother of code!
Seven paid devs! This is totally awesome. I may have to reconsider Google being a rising magalomaniac evil empire that plans to enslave us all. :)
With this boost I'm tempted to believe in a R1 or at least a RC this year.
I'm quite thrilled!
Seven devs...
This news is soooo good I had to read it TWICE.
Seems like every time I visit haiku-os.org I find myself congratulating the Haiku team!
Congrats.
Sweet news! Can't wait to
Sweet news! Can't wait to see the progress. To bad all 42 aren't that eager to work on Haiku (for free) :)
When are the 7 expected to be chosen & begin working?
