[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello list, I need a term project for a grad school OS course, and the "POSIX Compliance Testing" project listed at https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage resonated with my professor and I. We both like the practical flavour of the idea; there is no need for a hypothesis or any academic fluff (beyond my own submitted report). I'm sending this email to see if anyone is already working on this, and also to open this to any feedback/guidance others may have. Ideally, the main outcome is a PR into https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci/>; which implements a compliance test/report that can be run automatically. I am open to suggestions if there is a more useful outcome. My goals are to simply "do something useful" for the FreeBSD project before the end of the term, and pass my course :) -Troy Denton [-- Attachment #2 --] <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css" style="display:none;"> P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;} </style> </head> <body dir="ltr"> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof"> Hello list,</div> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof"> <br> </div> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof ContentPasted0 ContentPasted1"> I need a term project for a grad school OS course, and the "POSIX Compliance Testing" project listed at <a href="https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage" id="LPlnk552120">https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage</a> resonated with my professor and I.
