Hi, Alexander, thanks your for your advice. We were thinking of finding a "mentor" in the GSOC way, but we understand that it will be more productive and surely more educational to just ask our questions on the mailing list. We will do so. We've had some time to look around the links and ideas everyone proposed, and we are strongly interested in working in the networking area of the system. "SCPS, Space Communication Protocol Standards" is our first project choice for now. We believe this project to be suitable for a 2 years student project, and low level network programming is a really interesting domain. The current user-land implementation seems enough, however, we hope a SCPS protocol implementation in the FreeBSD kernel to be useful. It would be one of the first OS to support these protocols, and a kernel-level implementation is still better than a user-level one. We will keep you posted on our project's approval, Bye, Matthieu Hauglustaine On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 6:24 PM, ss griffon <ssgriffonuser@gmail.com> wrote= : > On Sat, Jan 14, 2012 at 5:38 AM, Matthieu Hauglustaine > <matt.hauglustaine@gmail.com> wrote: >> Dear all, >> >> We are a group of french CS students at Epitech, currently in 3rd year. >> As part of our formation we have to start working on our end of >> scholarship project.
