I'm not really involved at all in this, just a fellow newbie concerned for other ones. If it's appropriate I can surely add some info, but I'm not sure if I'm the right person? BR, Sima On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 10:46 AM, Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi,
the best would be if you or Greg edit the page. It is a Wiki page and to edit it you need a Linux Foundation account (you can easily create it by clicking on the upper right of the page) and membership in the GSOC group (simply request it and I will confirm it). Then you can add any missing contacts, project ideas, and/or some text motivating potential students to come with their ideas for the kernel.

Hi Till,
I'm guessing you're the author of this
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/gsoc/2014-gsoc-kernel-...
which points to #kernelnewbies. Right now there are a lot of people coming in and asking for info or help etc. It would be helpful if you could add some more detail there.
For example Greg K-H has stated he's the one to ping (or email, according to himself) - that could be something to add. Also, as far as I understand, applicants have to have an idea/suggestion of their own for projects (according to chats by Greg). Could you add information about that as well?
Right now everybody else in that channel are more or less clueless, which imo isn't a good first impression for applicants =)
