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.
