Hello, I'm a student and I want to participate in Google Summer of Code (Gsoc) in project related to Linux kernel development. I've read that kernelnewbies is one of Gsoc project groups [1]. So I want to know what criteria should I fit to be good enough for taking part in Gsoc in kernel development project? 1. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/gsoc/google-summer-co...

Great!

The problem with kernel projects in GSoC is that they almost never lend themselves to good projects. There have been exceptions in the past, but note that you are going to have to provide your own proposals for a project, there will probably not be any kernel projects created by anyone else for people to wish to take on. Do you have something in mind that you wish to work on that might be a good project proposal? thanks, greg k-h

Unfortunately, I don't have particular project ideas. But I'm interested in memory management and device drivers. My kernel programming experience is limited with academic needs and I want to improve my skills. That's why I want to take part in Gsoc. Thanks, Maksym Planeta.

What about making kmemleak [1] available on not yet supported architectures? thanks, Daniel. [1] http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.37.3/Documentation/kmemleak.txt

This sounds interesting. There was written that
Only the ARM and x86 architectures are currently supported.
Does it mean that there isn't support for x86_64 architecture? Thanks, -- Maksym Planeta <mcsim.planeta@gmail.com>

Hello Maksym, The old i386 and x86_64 archs where unificated and called x86 to reduce code duplication. So basically they are the same.

Also uml (user mode linux) doesn't work on many architectures. Actually I've started porting it to PowerPC... On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 6:46 PM, Javier Martinez Canillas <martinez.javier@gmail.com> wrote:

That's a _huge_ range of interests :)

There are plenty of things you can do today, without needing GSoC to improve your skills with working in the kernel. See the kernelnewbies wiki for lots of ideas and suggestions on this. Best of luck, greg k-h
