| 3 | 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!* |

| 5 | 2 | Jeremy Rand | h2. Advance the Optimus Black U-Boot and Linux mainline ports |
| 6 | 1 | Jeremy Rand | |
| 7 | 13 | Jeremy Rand | The Optimus Black is an interesting potential target for Replicant, since it has the ability to use a free bootloader. Paul did some initial work on getting U-Boot and mainline Linux running on it, which would lay the groundwork for a future Replicant port. You can help by picking up where Paul left off, and getting U-Boot and mainline Linux running on the Optimus Black. |

| 29 | 5 | Jeremy Rand | h2. Access Point mode for RepWifi |
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 11 | Jeremy Rand | 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. |

| 77 | h2. Implement the missing features of Samsung-RIL |
||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 12 | Jeremy Rand | Samsung-RIL is the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) that many Replicant devices use to communicate with the modem. It is a free, reverse-engineered replacement for the proprietary RIL that the Samsung phones ship with by default (which has been found to have backdoors). Right now, Samsung-RIL mostly implements only the protocol features that are absolutely necessary for the phone to be operable. As a result, many more rarely used protocol features are unimplemented, which decreases functionality compared to the proprietary RIL. You can help by implementing the missing features of Samsung-RIL. |
