I'm studying computer engineering and would like to participate in gsoc2011. I'm especially interested in your embedded project of creating a "NAND Flash driver support". Originally, I wanted to apply at the NetBSD Project and suggest to port it to a new plattform (SheevaPlug). But as I've seen there's already a lot of code in the CVS and as it's not possible to run any of the BSDs from flash, I would like to apply for this project. It would still be a necessary contribution to the efforts of porting them to the SheevaPlug. I would like to discuss this Project in my diploma thesis. So what i need to know is whether it's still an undone task and whether it would be enough work to cover it in a thesis. And as I've already written to "imp" and he told me that he doesn't have time this year, i would be very grateful if someone could be my mentor. Kind regards Erik
