I am ASHER.B.I am a student doing my undergraduate engineering course in
Information Technology at MES College of Engineering, Kuttipuram in Kerala,
India.
I have just come across the GNU Hurd project being listed as a mentor
organisation in Google SoC 2008.
I have a proposal to work on the "installer part" of the GNU Hurd. A
few of my seniors did work on this project (GNU Hurd LX Installer)
last year co-ordinating with Philip Charles of New Zealand. Our work
has been listed at
http://gnu.ethz.ch/hurdThe LX installer project was also listed by Sourceforge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hurdlxSince GNU Hurd doesn't have a native installer, the LX project made
use of a stable surrogate installer for the purpose of installation
and went ahead right upto the features of getting X console after
installation – which was unique.
This time around, our plan is to extend these features further :
(a) incorporate latest stable surrogate installer
(b) get a gui installer part working
(c) work with the latest release of Hurd – equivalent to K16 or later
Since the guides of this project is here (C K Raju, Raghesh A and
Badharudeen P), it would be possible to carry the work forward.
The proposed team members (all classmates) are
(1) Subin M
(2) Manoj K M
(3) Binu J Raj
We are awaiting to hear from you,
Yours truly,
ASHER.B
