<br>
1. Coreboot and OLPC [North Carolina, USA]<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; Also requests: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Serial_adapters">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Serial_adapters</a><br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Project Objectives:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Investigate Coreboot firmware looking from the angle of
debuggability;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; particularly related to standby/resume, or other challenges.<br>
<br>
2. [GeneralCompute] Project Proposal - Request for platform.
[Cambridge, UK]<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37347"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37443">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37443</a><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/GeneralCompute">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/GeneralCompute</a><br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Project Objectives:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Most computing device in the market have more that one<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; processor i.e. CPU, GPU (programmable/non-programmable), DSP etc.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; These processors are supplied by different or same vendor. But to
take<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; advantage of these processors, vendors usually supply different set
of<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; APIs for each of these processors. There is a publicly available open<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; standard that defines a common API to take advantage of these<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; heterogenous computing devices. The OLPC laptop already has a GPU.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Hence it already is hosting atleast two computing devices. It will be<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; beneficial to support a "General Compute" API for the developers who<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; can then take advantage of these devices in a uniform manner. This<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; proposal will benefit the programmers who develop middleware or<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; applications.<br>
<br>
3. Apache Proxy CRCsync Project and Finger-painting Interface - USA,
Belgium<br>

<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; Project Objectives:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; FingerPaint Project<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Integrating a chosen paint application with TinyMCE editor as a
plug-in.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Profiling of the software stack that is used by the fingerpaint<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; application so that the performance can be improved:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; RProxy Project<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Performance testing of RProxy modules .(Stability testing, surf
the<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; internet through the proxy to collect compression rate statistics
in<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the logs from real-live usage in stead of artificial test
scenario's, etc)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Development and testing of required Plugins for XO School server
to<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; integrate PaintWEB and RProxy module in the latest version of XO
Engine.<br>
