| = Why work for coreboot =
| | If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please send them to the [[Mailinglist|mailing list]] or join us in [[IRC]]. |
|
| |
|
| Why would you like to work for coreboot?
| |
|
| |
|
| * coreboot offers you the opportunity to work with modern technology "right on the iron".
| | The coreboot project also hosts payload and flashrom projects. |
| * Your application will be available to users worldwide and promoted along with all other coreboot projects.
| |
| * We are a very passionate team - so you will interact directly with the project initiators and project leaders.
| |
| * We have a large, helpful community. Over 100 experts in hardware and firmware lurk on our mailing list, many of them waiting to help you.
| |
| <br /><br /> | | <br /><br /> |
|
| |
|
| == Some Caveats ==
| | [[Previous GSoC Projects|Previous coreboot GSoC projects]] |
|
| |
|
| * Google Summer-of-Code is a a full (day-) time job. This means we expect roughly 30-40 hours per week on your project, during the three months of coding. Obviously we have flexibility, but if your schedule (exams, courses) does not give you this amount of spare time, then maybe you should not apply.
| | = Call for Mentors and Project Ideas = |
| * Getting paid by Google requires that you meet certain milestones. First, you must be in good standing with the community before the official start of the program. We suggest you post some design emails to the mailing list, and get feedback on them, both before applying, and during the "community bonding period" between acceptance and official start. Also, you must have made progress and committed significant code before the mid-term point.
| | Google has announced the 2013 GSoC program. coreboot had been a GSoC participant in the past, but was not accepted in 2012 and we would like to change that this year. The GSoC project acceptance has become much more competitive and the project ideas and student recruitment pages has become key in getting accepted. Our project ideas were not flushed out enough in the application process and we didn't have a complete mentors list/assignment for those projects. |
| * We require accepted students to have a blog, where you will write about your project on a regular basis. This is so that the community at large can be involved and help you. SoC is not a private contract between your mentor and you. http://blogs.coreboot.org/
| |
|
| |
|
| Note that "regular basis" in the last item does _not_ mean "3 days before evaluation deadlines". You should be "around" all the time (reporting your feedback, sending in partial successes, discussing problems in IRC).
| | I think that coreboot has some extremely talented people involved in the project and students should be attracted to the experience of working with our mentors as much as the potential projects. |
| We don't expect our students to be experts in our problem domain, but we don't want you to fail because some basic misunderstanding was in your way of completing the task.

|
| == Student requirements ==
| | What we need to apply for GSoC 2013: |
|
| |
|
| We will only accept your proposal if you have demonstrated that you can work with our codebase. For that, you have to send a patch to the list which is acceptable. Just ask for simple tasks on the mailing list or on IRC. | | Project Admins - We need a person or two to be the main liaison between coreboot and GSoC. This person(s) register the project, fills out the application, leads and organizes the projects and mentors. |
| <br /><br />
| |
|
| |
|
| = Contact =
| | Mentors - We need a pool of mentors willing to support students on a number of levels; Helping them from the very beginning with project ideas and writing their applications, project and development time management, research, communication, documentation, drive deadlines. |
|
| |
|
| If you are interested in becoming a GSoC student, please contact the coreboot mailing list or visit our IRC channel on irc.freenode.net: #coreboot
| | Mentor biographies - To improve out GSoC recruitment, i would like to have a one paragraph biography for each of our mentors. It should contain what your coreboot experience and contributions. Something about your work and/or education experience and maybe some other personal information. Maybe where you are located. It helps to have mentors can be matched with the students culture. |
|
| |
|
| If you need to contact someone directly, [mailto:marcj303@gmail.com Marc Jones] is the GSoC admin for coreboot.
| | Project ideas - We also need complete project ideas with pointers to background data and what the expected outcome would be. We need a list of potential mentors for each project idea. |

| Please look at our [[Project Ideas|project ideas page]].

| |
| | |
| == flashrom ==
| |
| | |
| The flashrom project is somewhat independent of coreboot and has its own website and wiki. You can find project ideas for flashrom [http://www.flashrom.org/GSoC here].
| |
| <br /><br />
| |
| | |
| == Your own Project Ideas ==
| |
| | |
| We have come up with some ideas for cool Summer of Code projects. These are projects that we think can be managed in the short period of GSoC, and they cover areas where coreboot is trying to reach new users and new use cases.
| |
| | |
| But of course your application does not need to be based on any of the ideas listed below. The opposite: Maybe you have a great idea that we just didn't think of yet. Please let us know!
| |
| | |
| Feel free to contact us at the email address or IRC channel above, and don't hesitate to suggest whatever you have in mind.

| We successfully participated in Google's Summer of Code in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. See our [[Previous GSoC Projects|list of previous GSoC projects]] or [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google's archive]. | |
