Hi folks,
As a follow-up to my work in LEG on assembly scanning and optimisation for AArch64, we're considering applying as a mentoring organisation for the Google Summer of Code [1] this year. There's quite a lot of code out there that may benefit from porting (whether for support of AArch64 or for better performance) and I think we could usefully get some students involved to help with this. I'm planning on doing the bureacracy for the SoC application in the next few days.
So, the reason why I'm posting about that here: is anybody else interested in joining in? Are there any other projects in/around Linaro where:
a) a student could do some useful work; b) we have somebody prepared to act as a mentor
? If so, please let me know. The more ideas we can suggest for summer projects like this, the more likely we are to be accepted as a mentoring organisation by Google.

Ping? I've had some questions from a few people about this, but no suggested projects or proclamations of interest as yet. We've got until the end of next week to apply as a mentoring organisation, so please get back to me ASAP if you have an interest in the Summer of Code.
another topic might be ports to support OpenGLes. Starting point would be an analysis of the current build failures on armhf, and select some high-profile packages for porting.
