Subject:   exfat driver as a gsoc project: mentors wanted
Message-ID:  <Z46FNL6M_U9xRAE9@fuz.su>

Greetings!

With ExFAT being a common file system on external storage devices
and the patent situation being less bad than a few years ago, it
seems interesting to have a native ExFAT driver.

The driver could be maintained out-of-tree and hosted in Europe
(where the software patents are not enforceable) until we can
merge it.

This seems like it would be a good fit for GSoC.
Is there anybody here who would be interested in (co)-mentoring this
project?  I would also be interested in mentoring, but I have too
little experience with the VFS subsystem to do it alone.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
