GSoC 2016 : QRCode in BootLog
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:54 pm
Hello All,
I am Utsav Chokshi[Developer Chat Id : Utsav_Chokshi]. I am currently pursuing my masters from International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad [IIIT-H] in Computer Science and Engineering. I want to contribute to KolibriOS as GSoC 2016 aspirant.
I had done assmebly level coding in my bachelor's and developed program for large number factorial. I have good understanding of OS concepts and I have developed Mini Shell as part of my operating system course. I have experience working with PintOS [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintos].
Following are few questions I would like to ask :
1)
I went through projects' idea list and liked following idea :
"QRCode in BootLog"
What I understood by idea is : I need to implement QR Code Generation Algorithm from scratch in Assembly Language.
Is my understanding correct ?
2)
GSoC idea page suggests that "submit a small bug fix/improvement to SVN".
Can I get some test task to work upon ?
3)
From where I can start understanding KolibriOS code ?
Any documentation on workflow would be great.
4)
What is best way of installing KolibriOS from developer's perspective ? I mean I want to develop and run KolibriOS side by side. Any specific emulator for that ?
I am using ubuntu 14.04.
Thanks & Regards,
Utsav Chokshi
