Seeing that Garrett has applied to Mentor it then your perceived problem
is solved as he is not a Sun person.
Personally I place the emancipation project very highly, it's only one
part of a much bigger issue but as the saying goes... you eat an
elephant one bite at a time.

Hey, Just to clarify
One of those emancipation projects is mine, and if any of them are
going to be accepted in a useful way, a mentor who isn't tainted by
license issues needs to be found. So ideally, someone outside Sun, but
practically, anyone who's not involved in ON should be fair game ( ask
your manager! )...
Sucks if me & the other emancipation proposals don't get accepted
because the only potential mentors are tainted by the old code, but
I'd rather not be accepted & end up doing it for free over a longer
time scale, than be accepted and have the code thrown out because of
inability to prove that there wasn't NDA violations.

Hey,
Thanks to Rob, we're already starting the process of being able to
rate the
submitted student proposals. We have some pretty tight deadlines of
deciding the
best ones, and assigning mentors.
We are still looking for mentors for these, particularly as point of
contacts
for various projects. We cannot realistically accept student
proposals if we
have no mentors for them, so *everyone* loses out.
Here's a list of project titles we've received -
BPF for Solaris
i18n Emancipation Project
Freedom! OpenSolaris Emancipation
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools to OpenSolaris
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools
Porting Racoon to OpenSolaris
IPfilter and IPSec Configuration GUI on OpenSolaris
RACOON2 PORTING STRATEGY DOCUMENT
Ext2fs read/write driver for OpenSolaris
Porting Racoon IKE to OpenSolaris
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools
Virtual Window System for BrandZ on OpenSolaris
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools
Camera based HCI System: libraries and accessibility tool
Camera Based HCI system
Port mprime, etc to OpenSolaris
A Camera-Based Human Computer Interaction System
Porting Fast Fourier Transform Tools to OpenSolaris
IPFilter GUI using GTK+
Enhancements to LiveMedia & BeleniX Projects (Update)
Retriever - Java port of Beagle on OpenSolaris
More options of open systems.
IPsec and IPfilter Rules GUI application
DTrace Probes for ksh93
Profiling Firefox with DTrace
IPsec and IPfilter Rules GUI
Let retrieval on the System more efficiently
Centralized Software Repository Framework
Port of libburnia to OpenSolaris
Optimizing ZFS for 32-bit Architectures; Implementing Resizing
Support for
RAIDZ1/2 Pools
Virtualization and X
Converting any filesystems to ZFS
A camera based HCI system for the Solaris OS
NYou Tube-this what i propose
Dynamic Load Balancing In Decentralised environment
Centralised Multi Client Data Access And Security
Human computer Interface
XFS driver for OpenSolaris
Porting Fast Fourier Transform tools to OpenSolaris
ALGORITHM TO FIND AND VALIDATE THE ORTHOLOGUS AND PARALOGOUS
SEQUENCE FOR
PHYLOGENTIC ANALYSIS
Ants and Algorithms (new idea)
It gives you a rough idea of what projects may make the final list. The
following is the rough list of order that we now need to figure out -
o Find reviewers
- By my reckoning, we'll need people who are familiar
with security, livemedia/belenix, desktop/firefox,
ZFS, BrandZ, HCI and general kernel awareness in
the case of the emancipation ideas
o Review current project proposals
- We have signed up for about 8 slots. We may not get
all of them. Projects are rated on whether they are
good quality, or spam.
o Assign mentors
- In some cases above we already have a mentor assigned
o Google decides how many projects we get, and the highest rated
are accepted
Please, if you are interested in mentoring a student or reviewing
proposals this
summer, please join [EMAIL PROTECTED] or contact me
directly. I'm not
going to mail opensolaris-discuss about it again. Please also feel
free to
forward to interested sub-communities or colleagues.
thanks,
Glynn
