Hi, I am interested mainlining of the Allwinner A80 SOC in Linux kernel as a part of Google Summer of Code project.
GSoC is a project by Google that runs every year since about ten years ago, and provides financial support for work on open-source projects. It requires different open-source projects to apply as "organizations" so that they can then accept students to work for them (the open-source projects) over a period of three months during the summer. The students get US$5500 and the mentor from the organization gets US$500. In 2014, Emilio applied for GSoC through the organization "Linux Foundation" and had Maxime as his mentor, http://linux-sunxi.narkive.com/VYmpmy4Q/improve-allwinner-socs-support-on-mainline-linux In 2015, the Linux Foundation was not accepted as an "organization", so there was no work related to linux-sunxi was done as a part of program. linux-sunxi has never applied itself to be a GSoC mentoring organization in the past, so I would request if there's a will, we can do it. It'll need to be done quickly though, as we're currently in the org. application period. The hard deadline for organizations to apply is 19 February, 2016. Talking about the project, looking at - http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort http://linux-sunxi.org/A80 I find there is still much work to be done. I have a pcDuino8 board with me which I would using for the same. Regards, Saket Sinha -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
