h1. Google Summer of Code 2018 Replicant intends to apply to GSoC 2018 as part of the FSF umbrella. This page lists suggested projects for GSoC students. *This list is a draft!* h2. Advance the Optimus Black U-Boot and Linux mainline ports (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Paul (confirmed) h2. Advance the Kindle Fire first generation U-Boot and Linux mainline ports (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Paul (confirmed) h2. Access Point mode for RepWifi RepWifi is Replicant's app for using an external USB WiFi adapter. RepWifi is useful for Replicant because there exist USB WiFi adapters with free firmware, while the built-in WiFi chipsets in mobile phones do not have free firmware. Right now, RepWifi doesn't support acting as an access point (e.g. for WiFi tethering purposes); you can help by adding this functionality to RepWifi. (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: Easy to Medium *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Fil? h2. Port Replicant to a newer LineageOS version (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Wolfgang? h2. OS Updater (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: Medium to Hard *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Wolfgang? h2. Implement a fully-featured QMI-RIL (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Wolfgang? h2. Implement the missing features of Samsung-RIL (Project description: TODO.) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: Wolfgang? h2. Debug metallic sound in many 3G calls (Project description: TODO) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: TODO h2. Optimize power consumption in external WiFi adapter firmware (Project description: TODO) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO *Possible Mentors*: TODO h2. Projects mentored by other organizations h3. llvmpipe ARM optimizations (Project description: TODO; can probably be adapted from https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GraphicsResearch#llvmpipe .) *Difficulty*: TODO *Requirements/Prerequisites*: TODO *Expected Outcomes/Deliverables*: TODO Mesa would probably be a good organization for mentoring this project. If interested in working on this project, please propose it to Mesa. (We're happy to help.)
