Hi! I'm a CS student from Belgium and I'm interested in participating in Google Summer of Code as a FreeBSD contributor. I've been using FreeBSD for a bit over two years and I've already upstreamed a few patches over that time, but I'd like to give back in a little more of a meaningful way :) More specifically, I was thinking of proposing work on the Linux KPI for compiling network drivers on FreeBSD once the applications open (see SummerOfCodeIdeas: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas#Add_support_for_building_Linux-only_network_drivers). I see netlink was the subject of a previous SoC project by Sean Ng (and their mentor melifaro@), so it would seem at least some part of this has already been done. Would someone potentially be interested in mentoring such a project (perhaps mmokhi@ or melifaro@)? Is there maybe something you'd like to add on top of what's currently on the ideas page wrt to this? I'm posting this message is mostly to gauge overall interest in this idea in particular or if I'd be better off focusing my efforts on something else... Personally I'd be very interested in working on this if only for personal use, but maybe there's something I'd be equally interested in which is more useful to more people ;) Kind regards, Aymeric
