| - | ====== Google Summer of Code 2007 ====== | + | ====== Google Summer of Code ====== |
| - | The Etherboot Project is applying to participate in Google's 2007 [[http://code.google.com/soc/|Summer of Code]] project! | + | The [[http://etherboot.org/|Etherboot project]] has been participating in [[http://code.google.com/soc|Google Summer of Code]] since 2006 and has been generously accepted again for 2010. |
| - | ===== Student Information ===== | + | {{ :bootroms.jpeg?350×190|Some boot ROMs}} |
| - | Here are some links to information for students interested in our project: | + | ==== General Information ==== |
| - | * Here is some [[soc:background | Background Information]] about our project. | + | We (the [[http://etherboot.org/|Etherboot Project]]) create network booting code (gPXE) that allows computers to load their operating system from a network. gPXE can be stored in a number of places, including BIOS Flash, EPROMs, floppy, CD, HD, or other bootable media. The project has been around since about 1993. |
| - | * We have assembled some [[soc:student_info | Student Information Resources]] you may find helpful. | + | |
| - | * Here are some [[soc:ideas | Project Ideas]] for Summer of Code proposals. | + | |
| - | ===== Mentors ===== | + | We have a number of areas we can use help with. Since our focus is on creating network boot code, it is important that you be comfortable with low-level programming -- that is, C and possibly some x86 assembler (though this is not essential for many projects, and you can pick it up as you go along). You should also understand that efficiencies of code size, runtime size, and execution speed are important to us. Low-level, or "bare-metal" programming requires patience and focus, but the sense of control and deep understanding of what is happening, and why, can be very exhilarating. |

Please feel free to drop in and ask questions, discuss ideas, etc. We talk to all applicants individually as part of the selection process and, if we accept you as a Summer of Code student, we'll expect to talk to you in the IRC channel at least every couple of days. | ||
