Student Kernel Projects

"The kernel newbies community often gets inquiries from CS students who need a project for their studies and would like to do something with the Linux kernel, but would also like their code to be useful to the community afterwards," explained Rik van Riel in a posting titled "WANTED: kernel projects for CS students [1]". He offered a link to a Kernel Newbies wiki page titled "KernelProjects [2]" adding, "if you have ideas on what projects would be useful, please add them to this page (or email me)". Rik explained that he was assembling a list of projects on that page that meet the following criteria:

"Are self contained enough that the students can implement the project by themselves, since that is often a university requirement; are self contained enough that Linux could merge the code (maybe with additional changes) after the student has been working on it for a few months; are large enough to qualify as a student project, luckily there is flexibility here since we get inquiries for anything from 6 week projects to 6 month projects."

The kernel newbies community often gets inquiries from CS students who
need a project for their studies and would like to do something with
the Linux kernel, but would also like their code to be useful to the
community afterwards.

In order to make it easier for them, I am trying to put together a
page with projects that:
- Are self contained enough that the students can implement the
  project by themselves, since that is often a university requirement.
- Are self contained enough that Linux could merge the code (maybe
  with additional changes) after the student has been working on it
  for a few months.
- Are large enough to qualify as a student project, luckily there is
  flexibility here since we get inquiries for anything from 6 week
  projects to 6 month projects.

If you have ideas on what projects would be useful, please add them
to this page (or email me):

http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelProjects [3]

thanks,

Rik
