File systems?! Well, we could probably find something for you there. I would probably suggest we work on your own filesystem (to solve a specific problem) rather than bug hunt in fossil and venti. I think you would get more out of it and quite frankly it's core to how Plan 9 tends to approach most problems. Doing this on an rpi would be the same as any other CPU server, so you could potentially combine the two for some extra fun. > I know these are all super vague -- I'll probably have more fleshed > out ideas after a bit more poking around the docs and the mailing list > :-) Anyways, I'm really excited to hear that Plan 9 will be applying > to GSoC! Not at all. If you'd like to chat some more about a potential proposal, please feel free to bug anyone. I'm glad to see some genuine interest this year! Steve
