[Milkymist-devel] GSoC 2010

[Sébastien Bourdeauducq]

Hi,

Google did not like our GSoC application and rejected it. However, looking at 
the list of accepted organizations, some might be interested in supporting 
Milkymist and thus there are still ways to get work done through GSoC:
- QEMU (simulation models for the various peripherals)
- LLVM* (LatticeMico32 backend)
- RTEMS (Milkymist BSP)
- SimpleDirectmediaLayer (SDL) (TMU2 acceleration support)
So if you know students who are interested in both GSoC and Milkymist, I 
encourage you to tell them about the possibility of submitting Milkymist-
related applications to the above organizations. It is allowed to submit 
proposals not related to the organizations' idea lists, and only the 
organizations choose the students and projects.

Sébastien

* GSoC lets organizations impose a license on the produced code. In case of 
LLVM it will probably be a license that allows using the code in proprietary 
applications. LLVM is backed by Apple Inc., a notorious patent troll and 
advocate of aggressive measures to protect "intellectual property". You might 
have concerns with these facts.
