This is what we have, through some brainstorming on IRC and a few e-mails with a few people. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009#802.11_Wireless The application deadline was last Friday, March 13, 2009 so I suppose that went in as-is. I volunteered a few people but if there are others willing to help mentor some of these projects please just go right ahead and add your name to the list or let me know and I'll add you. So there are three GSoC project ideas listed there: * Add AP support to Network Manager * Improve wireless roaming * Integrate GeoClue to help with regulatory compliance The last one is the one which I hope to be able to mentor the most on but will also obviously need some help from Dan. That one is also being reviewed in conjunction with a similar project idea for GNOME GSoC: http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2009/Ideas Seems GeoClue is welcomed for many reasons onto the desktop. Whether or not these GSoC projects get picked up by Google I still think its worth to put this out there and see if people are will pick some of this work up. OK so as for the question about roaming -- I'm up to help mentor it. Anyone else?
