Hi. I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code - 2014 with Linaro and working on two of the ideas from Ideas page [1]:
AArch64 porting of Free Software Packages - I am amazed going through the details mentioned at [2] about the use of assembly in packages. I would like to discover more, and figure out where I could contribute.
Port UEFI to Low-Cost Embedded Platform - Although I have not used a system with UEFI before, I want to know more about the low level interaction that occurs between the kernel and the hardware.
Please help me get started and gain a better understanding of what implementing each of these ideas would involve.
Welcome!
Just so that you know, the Summer of Code timetable is arranged separately from Linaro conferences and the next conference starts in a few days. Please do not be surprised if you don't get a response in the meantime - I'm about to head off to the airport after I send this myself. Others more directly involved in the projects you mention may already be travelling / in-flight.

You can participate in the conference remotely too:

Once Connect is over (7th March), the next Linaro conference isn't until September, so this is just a one-off issue for the start of GSoC14.
