Hi all, Please take a few minutes to read this email.
First of all, I'd like to make a request to students and mentors that status reports come in on the Monday of each week, detailing what the last weeks' accomplishments were and explaining what will be coming up in the following week. This was in the GSoC sheet I sent out to everybody at the beginning of this year's endeavor, and it is becoming very tedious for me to figure out what is going on in the entirety of the Plan 9 SoC world (I imagine others are having a more difficult time). PLEASE SEND STATUS REPORTS ON MONDAY! It will make everyone's life easier. This is the last time I'm requesting this publicly; I'm going to start being a major asshole and emailing students and their mentors twice a day (morning and evening) each day a report is late or missing. Mid-term evaluations are to be begin in TWO WEEKS and to be submitted no later than THREE WEEKS from Monday. If you are behind on your project, catch up. Quickly. We don't want to fail anybody, but that's not up to us. Finally, I only know where to find code for two student projects: 9null and gitfs. The former is at: Iruatã Souza, 9null: http://gsoc.9vx.org/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/9null/ Manzur Mukhitdinov, gitfs: http://github.com/manzur/gitfs/tree/master I do not have locations for code for any other students. We NEED to know where your code is so that we can provide feedback on it as your mentors. For my student specifically, it's been somewhat difficult to give suggestions because I can't see the work as a whole; in the network stack things go on everywhere (especially for TCP). I imagine the same is true for most other people. Please please PLEASE get code checked in somewhere (I really don't care where) publicly accessible and let me know by Monday. I will start being an asshole and emailing mentors and students twice daily if I don't see this by Monday. (We're starting on having the coding part of the project active for a month now, and I think the lack of repos is kind of ridiculous). So far, we've received the following status reports (Week 4 is the next week's upcoming work). This is as I understand it. With the general chaos that has been this year's GSoC, I may be wrong, but please correct me if I am so I can fix this list. Manuel Franceschini: o Week 1: unproductive, mostly busy with exams and wrapping up the school year. Some look into the network code. o Week 2: adding hooks into ip{i,o}put, hashing src/dest ip/port. o Week 3: working on checksumming rewritten packets. o Week 4: going for successful TCP packet NATting; finish up checksumming. Priyanka Sharma: o Week 1: Installing glendix on a VM and native hardware, removing root user requirement from clone and unshare. o Week 2: unproductive, relocating. o Week 3: Get a working rfork(2) o Week 4: ??? André Günther: o Week 1: vx32 porting work o Week 2: Work on 9vx; discovered memory management methodology used in vx32 doesn't work for 9vx, so back to the drawing board with that. o Week 3: Getting mmu.c running on Windows, add some assertions to get other things working. o Week 4: ??? Iruatã Souza: o Week 1: Missing report. (Or I can't find it) o Week 2: Beginning work on PBS o Week 3: Finish PBS work o Week 4: ??? Manzur Mukhitdinov: o Week 1: Missing report. o Week 2: Basic functionality for interacting with old git versions? o Week 3: Checking module consistency, diff trees, compatibility issues, excluding mechanism, log viewing, commit tree work with env variables, and some other stuff. o Week 4: Work on fileserver infrom nextterface. Alex Shinn: o Week 1: Unicode support in chibi-scheme. o Week 2: Missing report. o Week 3: Garbage collection; some stack/heap issues with that, so we'll revisit this area later when some other things are taken care of. o Week 4: ? Gabriel Diaz: Missing all reports, not sure of status. Have had some contact. Erik, can you give us more information on the status of this project? Again, my apologies if this status digest is not entirely accurate. Starting this week, I'll be sending weekly updates at the end of each week. If you are blogging your status reports (e.g. Alex Shinn), please ALSO email the list to let us know there's an update and provide a link to the updated blog post. This list is not entirely accurate because we are actually coming upon our FIFTH week of coding. So starting from next week, I'll be starting from a fresh slate in the digest. Monday guys, let's get cracking! --dho --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
