Re: Ideas for Summer of Code 2018 anyone?

[Gábor Boskovits]

I've checked last the list from last year.

It seems to me that the RISCV port might be more important than ever in the face of Spectre.

The shepherd systemd semantics would be also nice to have.

I consider the syntax less important.

It would be also nice to create a service or set of services to make administration experience

similar to a systemd sytem. For example the functionality of journalctl would be nice to have.

Even a howto on configuring guixds to have the equivalent services of systemd would

benefit adoptation, and it could point to functionality missing in our system compared to

systemd.

Hello Guix!

It’s time to prepare for GSoC again!

We need to collect ideas, presumably based on
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2017>, in a new
“GSoC-2018” page on that wiki.

Let’s add new ideas to
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2018>!

Does someone want to take care of coordinating with Giuseppe Scrivano
and others at address@hidden?  (Essentially sending them the URL
of the idea list and monitoring the list.)

Subject: [IMPORTANT] Ideas for Summer of Code 2018
Hi!

Google is accepting applications for the next Summer of Code and as
usual we are going to apply for it. José, Darshit and myself are going
to manage the presence of GNU.

We should start thinking about a list of ideas for the next Summer of
Code and potential mentors.

This is the list of ideas we had last year:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2017.html

Is there anything left undone that can be reused this year?

Please start sending ideas to add to the page and link them to the
potential mentors that can help with it.

Please send the html snippet for the ideas page, something like:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<h3 id="foo"><a href="" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/foo" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/software/foo";>GNU FOO</a></h3>

<p>GNU FOO maintains their list of ideas for GSOC in an external
  webpage: <a
href="" href="http://foo.org/wanted.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://foo.org/wanted.html";>http://foo.org/wanted.html</a>.
</p>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so that it can be embedded in the page as it is.

Regards,
Giuseppe
