Open-source is all about sharing code. Getting involved with open-source is committing yourself to share all the code you write and let everyone else use it, mostly free charge (I’m not gonna go into a license-type here). With this project I want to take that commitment one step further: sharing code is one thing, sharing knowledge something totally different. My intention is to share all the knowledge I gain with this project with the rest of the world. And with ‘all’ knowledge, I really mean ALL knowledge, including the parts that don’t seem directly relevant to the core goal of the project itself. If I learned it somehow in relation with this project, I’ll share it with you. And what better way to share free knowledge is there than through a dedicated project blog? Right.

It’s been nearly two weeks now since I’ve been accepted into GSoC and I’m still not entirely over the huge excitement, but maybe that’s beacuse I don’t really get much time to be excited while I’m reading all the porting-minix-arm-architecture-stuff. Not that the literature isn’t exciting, it’s just another kind of excitement, if you know what I mean…

It’s also been nearly two weeks that you’ve been waiting to read a bit more about myself, which is actually awfully long… I know, I should blog more often, mea culpa.

Hey everyone!

So as you mat have guessed I have been accepted into the Google Summer of Code program, edition 2008. I’m going to work with the Computer Systems Research Group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to port their well-known MINIX operating system to the popular embedded ARM platform. As a mentor for the project I got this great guy who calls himself Bert Thomas, which is the next best thing to a guarantee for success!

Of course, whoever says MINIX also says Tanenbaum, and yes, indeed, the project is supervised by the one and only Prof. Dr. A. S. Tanenbaum.
