Hello FreeBSD community,
I am computer science student in the last year of graduation at University of Campinas (Unicamp) and have interest to contribute with something in device drivers or ports areas, like these items in the ideas list [1], [2] and [3] . I already sent an email to soc-admin[4] and talked with Mahdi Mokhtari which advised me to send this message. I'm looking for a mentor to help me with ideas and evaluation of thoses.
I do not have a specific project in mind because I never worked in a kernel before and not have enough knowledge to choose a project suitable for my qualifications.
Being these qualifications: 5 years and a lot of projects in C, a little knowledge in linux devices drivers, theory of O.S. and processor architecture.
If it is possible I would like to work with something related to Power architecture or device driver, mostly because of my personal interest and undergraduate research with IBM, but I'm totally fine to contribute with more easily or different thing to.
