Hello,
despite of our unsuccessful attempt to apply to Google's Summer of Code, there are some very good news: The HelenOS project has been accepted as mentoring organization and has prepared a joint topic with Genode.
If you are a student interested in advanced OS-level development in the context of Genode, please have a look at the following description:
HelenOS as a Genode platform http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/419
Because of the advanced level of this topic, you will be working in close collaboration with the main developers of both projects HelenOS and Genode. The mentoring role on the Genode side will be filled by Stefan Kalkowski and me. On the HelenOS side, Martin Decky and Jakub Jermar have shown interest in mentoring this work.
I would be excited about a student brave enough to dive into this realm and about the opportunity to bring both projects more closely together. If you are interested, please let us know!
Cheers Norman
