Ok, the DRI application for summer of code just went in (at the very
last minute). Thanks to those who joined in and filled our project
page, and hopefully talk to you when discussing projects :)

Ok, anyone else interested (ATM it's Jerome - Idr - Alex - me) ?

The deadline for project applications is wednesday so we'll have to
write the proposal for DRI quick now. Hopefully it works out.

There's a straw-man project page on the wiki.  There's only one project
listed, which probably won't get Google too excited. :(

 The X.org board treats GSoC as an opportunity to teach new developers
 rather than a chance to get a pile of free code. With this perspective,
 if, in two months, the student actually has learned how to contribute to
 DRI, that's a huge step forward. Creating a project which guides this
 process with a maximal chance of success is the only tricky part.

Beautiful!

I'm a student interested in gsoc and I've looked at this list for a little
while now.  I'm no expert, but I do have a bunch of ATI R500, R400, and R300
hardware around, familiarity with C, and time.  If not through GSoC I am
interested in contributing to this project this summer anyways.

DRI Summer of Code ?

2008-03-02 Thread Stephane Marchesin
Hi,

I often hear DRI developers talking about how we lack contributors.
Well, this is the occasion, I think we could get together and try to
propose DRI as a separate organization for the google summer of code
(it's also good to have DRI seen as a separate project from the
outside, and not just another TLA, for the exact same reason).

I also don't think there is enough room that DRI should/could be part
of X.Org, seeing how X.Org got, uh, 2 slots last year.

So ? If enough devs are interested, I could write a proposal. But we
have to act pretty quick.

Stephane

Well i think you need some things sexy enough to get student motivation,
and as you said this is the tricky part. Will try to think of somethings
that sounds reasonable and realist. Beside i totaly agree with the aim of
attracting new people :)
