Howdy, Now that I think about it, porting Factor to the Android platform may be a great project if y'all can find a suitable student and be sure that it will get "reasonably finished" within the alloted time. Slava, would this even remotely be possible in 3.5 months? The actual program spans from now until a "pens down" date of sometime in August, with an additional "community bonding" period before the official start date. Project and students are of course allowed to start working on code as soon as they want.
So it would be more like 8 months if work started now on the port. Your thoughts? PS: From what I know, the Google Android HTC G-1 is basically an ARM box with 5 processors, 2 specialized for sound processing (DSP), 2 for graphics (GPU) and then one low level processor that is dedicated to radio/voice transmission that extremely sandboxed. dukeleto On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:55 PM, Bill Sun <[email protected]> wrote: > I would be happy to see Factor running on my Neo Freerunner! > > On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 11:43 PM, Adam <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Perhaps restore the ARM port and get Factor ported to Android? >> >> The ARM parts are just stale as Factor used to run on Windows CE. >> >> The VM is ~12,000 lines of clean C that should be easy to build and >> the OS specifics would end up in Factor. >> >> -Adam >> >> On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM, Jonathan Leto <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Howdy Factor folks, >> > >> > I just wanted to let everyone know that Google approved a Summer of >> > Code for 2009, and organizations are already starting to recruit >> > students for the program : >> > >> > >> > http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-discuss/browse_thread/thread/31e618ed693ed5 >> > >> > http://leto.net/dukeleto.pl/2009/01/perl-monger-parallelism.html >> > >> > What kind of Factor projects would be good for this year?
