-====== Google Summer of Code 2006 ======+====== Google Summer of Code ======
  
-The Etherboot ​Project is pleased to be participating in Google'​s 2006 [[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 Candidate 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. ​
  
-Our Mentors for Google Summer of Code are:+==== Project Ideas ====
  
-  * Marty Connor, Project Leader, Developer  +Our project ideas page is [[soc:​ideas|here]].

 +We generally hang out in the ''#​etherboot''​ channel on the FreeNode IRC network (irc.freenode.net). ​ 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 studentwe'll expect to talk to you in the IRC channel at least every couple of days. 
 + 
 +Our mentors for Summer of Code (with their IRC nicknames) are: 
 +  * Marty Connor [''​mdc''​] (Project Leader, Developer, Etherboot Project) 
 +  * Stefan Hajnoczi [''​stefanha''​] (Developer, Etherboot Project) 
 +  * Gene Cumm [''​genec''​] (Contributor,​ Etherboot Project) 
 + 
 +You can reach the mentors directly ​via e-mail using <​soc-mentors@etherboot.org>​.  There is also the [[https://​etherboot.org/​mailman/​listinfo/​gpxe|gPXE mailing list]] (you must subscribe before posting).
