Oh, its ok. I like the GSoC idea. I just don't think I'm GSoC material, I'm hardware type, even if I will be a uni student this year going forward - "If it draws blood, its hardware" as the old maxim goes.
The Parallella board is US$99, a far more modest investment in hardware than a GizmoBoard as I had previously suggested, and packs more power for the price, in terms of coding value. Whether it could be accepted as a coding project of the type for GSoC, a mentor for it found, and other logistical concerns are a issue for the GSoC organisers, but I suppose, could it happen? An abstract topic for the time being. On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 5:06 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thoughts? Comments? Critique?
