Outreachy IIO - mentor wanted

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Does anyone want to mentor an intern for the Outreachy program?
https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyIntro

IIO drivers are very good tasks for such an intern, I have been a mentor
for the last 4 or 5 editions while working on:

* cleaning up drivers and moving them out of staging
* enhancing the IIO dummy driver and moving it out of staging
* creating drivers from scratch for simple devices

and it was a nice experience.

What a mentor should do?

In the pre-internship phase (14 February - 16 to March 30)

* review patches and guide applicants on how to find small kernel fixes
* create small tasks for IIO [this can be mostly borrowed from last years] [1]
* create a small description for the project and find a small
device(s) for the project.

In the internship phase [ 3 months starting around May ]
* help the intern with the setup and hardware
* (bi)weekly meetings for guidance or just answer interns questions on email.
* provide feedback to Outreachy on how the intern is doing.

Please let me know or Julia (Cc-ed) if you are interested.

The project doesn't necessary to be IIO related but it must be doable
by a 3rd/4th
year CS student with light kernel knowledge and good understanding of C.

thanks,
Daniel.
