[Mesa-dev] Regarding X.Org Endless Vacation of Code
I looked through the project ideas at http://www.x.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas/ which seemed doable to me. I would like to know more about the following projects - 1. Add support for performances counters in the profiling view 2. GL/GLSL tests for GL 4.0 and newer I have worked on projects using C and OpenGL as a part of coursework in college. Hence I feel I'll be able to work on these projects if I put enough time in it. I am also proficient in Java, Php, Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 so if there are any projects using these, I would love to look into them as well. I plan to work on a project through EVoC during June and July if my application gets accepted. So till then I would like to spend one month in understanding the project, solving bugs and preparing a good application. Kindly help.

Personally I think that going for another project will be better, although others might feel otherwise. 2. GL/GLSL tests for GL 4.0 and newer This topic has come across multiple times. The task entails that you pick up an GL extension (or a few) that are used by GL 4.0+, read through the spec test and write small piglit programs [1] which test the applicable functionality. One is expected to confirm their tests against another GL/GLSL implementation - i.e. run the programs on a GL 4.0+ capable hardware using the Nvida/AMD binary drivers. Note that there is a bit of a hurdle here on the patch review front. So you would be expected interact with the community and find a person interested in mentoring/reviewing your work. I have worked on projects using C and OpenGL as a part of coursework in college. Hence I feel I'll be able to work on these projects if I put enough time in it. I am also proficient in Java, Php, Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 so if there are any projects using these, I would love to look into them as well. I plan to work on a project through EVoC during June and July if my application gets accepted. So till then I would like to spend one month in understanding the project, solving bugs and preparing a good application. According to the EVoC page [2] the student is expected to put three to four months of work. Regardless I would encourage that you try and get a better feel about the projects listed [3] and observe the direction of the current X development. Chilling out in #dri-devel (at FreeNode) and skimming through the dri-devel and mesa-dev mailing lists will help you out. Once you have a better feel on the projects (or idea for another one) just follow the guidelines [4] and submit a proposal. I believe this information is enough to get you in the right direction.

It may have been at one point, but not any more. So before submitting an application, I understand that I need to understand the code base and submit patches to show my programming proficiency and problem solving skills. However, before I begin doing so, I would like you to answer few queries - 1. Can a proposal have only one 'easy' project idea (or will one have to club two easy ones)? 2. Could you point me to the necessary resources which will help me understand the project? It's not really a software project that you can just quickly understand fully. :) Lots of us have been working on it for years and aren't even interested in understanding it fully. 3. Could you also tell me how to set up the development environment for setting up this project? I've been meaning to create a wiki page. Hopefully I can do this soon. ___ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev

There is some basic developer info in the docs folder devinfo.html (provides some tips to new developers) and sourcetree.html (has an excellent overview of the source code directory structures) are two files I found helpful. 3.
