Hi Alexis!

Welcome to RIOT!

May I ask you what exactly you're planning to do there? To the best of my
knowledge the Thread specification will be only released to some members of
the partners in June.

Sounds like excellent prerequisites!

I think just reading through the Wiki [1] and the mailing list archives [2]
will already help to get a rough understanding of how the community works.
Particular [3] might be interesting to read.

Usually both, next call and Hack'n'ACK would happen next week (see also the
calendar on the web page). For the call, we might provide an additional
session this week for GSOC applications. We'll let you know ASAP. For the H&A:
Martine, can you confirm that C-Base is reserved again?

Probably Hauke and Martine know best of the new network stack and will most
likely mentor this project.

In general: a solid, well documented and easily extendible implementation is
usually better.

Cheers,
Oleg
