| 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. | We have a number of areas we can use help with.

| 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 student, we'll expect to talk to you in the IRC channel at least every couple of days. | We generally hang out in the ''#etherboot'' channel on the FreeNode IRC network (irc.freenode.net).
