Hi everyone, Thanks to the amazing work Rodrigo does mentoring students (which introduces them to GNU/Linux in general and X.Org/fd.o in particular) it looks like we might have some potential GSoC candidates this year.
The last time we ran an X.Org GSoC, back in 2020, our amazing student, Melissa, not only passed her project with flying colours, she continues on in our community to this day as a co-admin of the VKMS driver. Several other members of our community came to us via GSoC and are also still with us making significant contributions. Rodrigo and Melissa have put together a project they are excited to mentor: https://www.x.org/wiki/AMDGPU2022/ . Daniel Vetter has also agreed to mentor; perhaps a drm-related project. I've agreed to be the admin on behalf of X.Org for our participation in GSoC. If anyone else is interested in volunteering we would certainly appreciate the help. We're always looking for mentors and project ideas. Our current list of projects/mentors is found on our Ideas page: https://www.x.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas/ If you have any questions or interest please get in touch! Best regards, Trevor
