I am a BTech 4th year student at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India.
I will be working on implementing a FUSE based filesystem for BFS so that BFS partitions can be mounted natively in Linux and other POSIX operating systems.
I enjoy building systems like these where the final outcome is really interesting to watch and useful. I will be keeping the community updated regarding the progress in this blog.
These two weeks I’ve been quite busy with other things, so the project didn’t move as much as I wanted. However, I managed to get the catalog engine to internationalize an app for the first time. It’s not a big application, just a very simple Hello World test program. And the lack of a tool for translating catalogs means I had to edit them by hand to get the translation done.
I got the kernel to boot “a bit” ;) but since u-boot does not pass the kernel arguments when loading with loadelf I had to fake some kernel arguments etc.. So it’s not realy a working system but serial out works ;) (input does not work yet :( ) and I can see some stuff on my screen.. The kernel runs on a emulated gumstix verdex since there is no emulator for the gumsitx overo we will use and the beagleboard emulator did not really work (no sd card support for example)
Hi, I’m Ankur Sethi. I’m a first year Information Technology student at Indraprastha University, New Delhi. I will be working on a full text indexing and search application for Haiku Code Drive 2009.
I use Mac OS X as my primary OS. Before I switched to the Mac, I had been an Ubuntu user for four solid years. I first read about Haiku on OSNews back in 2007 (my profile says my account is 1 year 36 weeks old), and I was hooked.
Hello Haiku World, I’m Tom Fairfield and I’ve been chosen to work on a project for the Code Drive this summer. You’ll see me around IRC and elsewhere as fairfieldt or AntiRush. I’m a 4th year computer science major at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I’ve been interested in operating system development for quite some time and Haiku is a great looking project in that regard.
The project I proposed and was chosen to complete is a Network Services Kit for Haiku.
The work on the Locale Kit as part of the Summer of Code has already started :) This week we have been working on proper integration of my work in the Haiku tree. So you can now checkout Haiku from svn and get the Locale Kit as part of it. Of course, some parts are still broken (or not yet written), but some of the tests seems to be already working.
Just thought we’d let you know that, Haiku-Files is now hosting GCC4 builds of Haiku in both RAW and VM image formats.
You can obtain these builds in the usual directories and we’ve updated the RSS feeds as well.
We’ve also fixed the VMX file that is distributed with the pre-alpha images to have the correct virtual hard disk name. Sorry for this oversight, I wasn’t aware of it, until I was playing around with VMware Fusion last night.
Greetings one and all! I am Obaro Ogbo, one of the students selected for GSoC 2009. I also use the name nastee on irc and on Haiku Bug Tracker. I am a 3rd year student of Computer Science and Technology at Bells University of Technology Ota, Nigeria, and it appears I’m the first ever Nigerian GSoC student :-).
I began programming with Java, then learnt C before studying C++. I’ve done little PHP and Perl coding, however I’m learning Lisp presently.
I live in Honolulu Hawaii, I enjoy Surfing, Swimming, Sun and Code. I am working on my BS in Computer Science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and minoring in Geography. Next year will be my senior year. I have taken courses in concurrent programming as well as networking. Next year I will be taking an operating systems course. I also have some experience in machine architecture and optimization. My current side project is writing an application for the Geography Department, that is a complete suite of tools for stereogrammetry.
Personal Profile Ma Jie Brief bio My name is Ma Jie, And Jie is my given name. I'm a senior college student from China. Although not majored in Computer Science, I still love to do computer programming in my spare time. I have a National Computer Rank Examination certificate on computer network technology and got third prize of a national Java programming competition. The PoorMan server of Haiku is my first contribution to the open source world.
