Welcome - we're glad to have students showing interest in our GSoC projects, and got official confirmation today that X.Org has been accepted as a mentoring organization into the GSoC program this year.
I've cc'ed the xorg-devel mailing list, since you'll have a much easier time connecting with the developers there than on the general end-user support mailing list of xorg@... Those projects probably also cross over into the area covered by the dri-devel mailing list as well, since the DRI/DRM drivers on the kernel side are covered there. -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System On 03/16/11 03:42 PM, Антонов Николай wrote: > Hello, all! > I am Antonov Nikolay.
