EVoC/GSoC email to students to drum up interest: Work in progress.
* My name is Matt Dew and I work on the X.org project. X.org[1] is the X windowing system for Linux, BSD, UNIX. If you run a GUI on linux or one of the BSDs or UNIXs then you most likely are using X.org.
* Google Summer of Code[2] is approaching and X.org is looking for bright, capable students who are interested in working on the Linux graphics stack. Google hasn't officially announced GSoC for 2012, but now is the time to start looking around to see if you're interested. For those who aren't aware, GSoC is a program where google pays students to work on open source projects. X.org has a complementary program called Endless Vacation of Code[3] (EVoC) for students whose schedules don't fit with GSoC. We have work in OpenGL/Mesa, graphics shaders, graphics drivers, state trackers, code refactoring, multi-touch and gestures work, automated testing, documentation, color management, etc.[4] You'll get to work with developers at AMD, Intel, NVidia, ?RedHat, Canonical, as well as others. I won't kid you. The work is challenging, not everyone's application is accepted and you will have to work hard to pass. But the people on the project are very smart and willing to help people who are genuinely interested in learning and wanting to participate and contribute. Any and all interested students, please contact either me or hop on the irc channel at: irc.freenode.net #xorg or #xorg-devel
Sincerely, Matt Dew, X.org
