Hi Oleg,

Thanks for your quick reply :-)


 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.


Your absolutely right. What I'm doing is trying to implement communication
over different nodes that use different protocols (BLE, Z-Wave, Zigbee)
using IPV6 packets. That not exactly Thread but, we work with what is at
hand ^^

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.


Sure, I've already read it. And I was asking for informal things, to
better get in touch with Riot community ;-)

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
 HA:
 Martine, can you confirm that C-Base is reserved again?


Yeap, I'll try to attend.


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

 Ok, so I will contact them directly. To start, Hauke, Martine, can you
give me some pointers about the network stack ? Ideas and suggestions you
already have had ? I read Martine's RIOT network presentation about
refactoring, what's the current state of that ?

Cheers,

Alexis

[riot-devel] GSoC 2015 Introduction - N1 BLE Project

[Alexis DUQUE]

HI RIOT Developers !

I'm Alexis, from Lyon, France, student in Telecom Engineering.
I'm fond of IoT, embedded development, FOS Projects,  and
I'm currently doing a master thesis in Barcelona, wich focus on Thread (
http://www.threadgroup.org/) protocols stack.

I will be really interested to take part of RIOT community as developer,
starting working on BLE Project.
Even if I've no experience with RIOT development (I just use it on MSP430)
, I well know BLE at different level of the stack : I've worked on Nordic
nrf1822 eval board, nrf8001 with Arduino, Android API, and Bluez driver on
Unix system.
Obviously, I'm familiar with C/C++ and embedded development, on different
platforms such as Arduino, STM32L0, MSP430 or M2M Gateways (arm poky
toolchain with Yocto builded distro).

As this is just an introduction and presentation post, I've not yet
technical questions (but they will come :-) ) But if can someone introduce
me the community, core developers, processes, to know you a bit more, that
will be great !
Some questions: When are next virtual meeting, or call (18/03) ? the next
Hack'n'ACK (26/03)?
Who is the potential mentor for N1 BLE project (or the dev that best known
RIOT network implementation) ?
In my point of view, implementing complete BLE stack is a huge work for 4
month project. What do you think about that ? Which is the priority
 (central, peripheral roles) ? For you, what's better for the community :
unachieved work on bigger project, or reduced but well tested and
documented keys functionalities ?

To conclude, I've participated (with success :-)) on GSoC2014 with OpenMRS (
openmrs.org) on Atlas project. And I'm currently the lead dev and
maintainer of OpenMRS Atlas server (atlas.openmrs.org), and OpenMRS Atlas
Module (https://dev.openmrs.org/#/show/atlas/).

Cheers,

Alexis DUQUE
