Hi Alex, I think that porting the gigabyte platform could be at least part of a GSOC project. The port by itself probably wouldn't be enough to be considered a full project, since much of the work can already be done automatically by autoport.
I'd probably discourage the HP port due to the age of the platform and the possible difficulty with the embedded controller, but wouldn't strictly rule it out as a gsoc project.
