Traditionally, PSU (Portland State University) handles a number of Linux kernel related projects for GSoC due to the Linux kernel developers who are mentors for them, and the faculty who are very clued into the kernel and x.org and general open source development. Also, the way that PSU handles the projects, is it relies on the students to propose the projects, not the other way around. Due to that, the success rate is very high as people do not generally propose things that they do not have some kind of interest in :) So if you have a kernel related project you wish to do, feel free to submit it to the PSU group. thanks, greg k-h p.s. I've been a mentor for the PSU GSoC group for many years now. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
