It's Official: Eight Students to Code for Haiku at GSoC 2007

News posted by koki on Thu, 2007-04-12 02:10

Google has given their final word, and we are now pleased to announce that Haiku has been assigned 8 student slots for the Google Summer of Code 2007, which is one more than we had initially hoped for. Here is a list of the accepted applications, also as a way of introduction of the eight students that were selected from a total of 42 applications.

Update: Added usernames and linked to user's page.

Implement ICMP error handling and propagation

Student: Ivo Vachkov (ivo), blog
Mentor: Axel Dörfler
Abstract...

Implement a precache algorithm along with aging policy for the file system caches

Student: Krishna Kishore Annapureddy (k.kishore), blog
Mentor: François Revol
Abstract...

In the next weeks the students will have time to get in touch with the community and prepare their work. On May 28th, the official coding period starts.

Please, give a warm welcome to all the accepted students, as well as a big thank you to both the Haiku mentors who have committed their time to the success of Haiku's debut in the Google Summer of Code and, needless to say, to Google itself for making this happen in the first place.

Great news!

Any plans been made about inviting these guys (those of them who want) to blog via the Haiku Blog-O-Sphere during the summer? Would be interesting to follow their work.

indeed - this is amasing and important moment...

after Zeta episode has finished, this is really important moment for all of the remaining BeOS folovers and new enthusiasts to come together and help Haiku reach R1 by the end of 2007

Welcome aboard Y'all, and grats on your placements. I am really really looking forward to seeing your work bear fruit on the Haiku tree :o)

Yay! Rock on, and all that....

Who said it was finished ? I have a feeling the end might not be what everyone is expecting...
Oh well, time will tell, and it's not the place.

Yes, that is the plan. I'm currently adding them to the bloggers group, so they can get started.

Hi all,

Great to see you are able to work on Haiku for your studies .. under the umbrella of Google Summer of Code ... Google is so much cooler than MS ... MS aint cool anyhow ... it would be great if Bernd could donate some sources to Haiku .. but dont think this is wise atm .. the pureness of haiku source is holier than thou ... imho .. imagine for example MS buying BeOS IP from ACCESS and destroying Haiku's efforts because of contaminated code .. linux is also very concerned about keeping the code clean ... and for good reason .. the likes of MS are always looking for good chances to crush their competitors .. i only see one way .. Zeta and BeOS sources might be shared .. the BeOS IP has to be bought by a BeOS foundation .. which would then be a not for profit organisation which sole purpose would be to stimulate the further development of BeOS in an opensource environment (albeit under a MIT license) so lots of other people can benefit from such a cool new BeOS .. off course the IP is expensive .. but with the right donations it might be possible to achieve this .. if ACCESS is willing to go along with it .. off course its more daydreaming than reality that this would ever happen .. but there are examples where this has happened .. with some software .. whatever will happen in the future .. i am looking forward to a cool Haiku R1 running in about 9 months on my PC ... at the moment i am already running a testrelease on my own hardware .. and it runs well .. it has limited functions now .. but for a test release this is normal .. wish all of you students all the best .. i guess this wont be the last google summer of code .. for haiku ... i applaude google for making all these cool things happen ... google you rock .. now make haiku rock as well ...

Cheers,

Johnbon
