20 BeagleBoard.org was approved to mentor six (6) students during this year's Google as they execute their projects.&nbsp; The students, projects, and mentors are:<br />
\r
21 <ul><li>Christopher Friedt's project is NEON Support for FFTW.&nbsp; He is being mentored by Mans Rullgard.&nbsp; I'm proposing Philip Balister as a co-mentor. Christopher attends C.A.U. Kiel, Germany.&nbsp; You can follow his work at http://perpetual-notion.blogspot.com/.</li>
\r
22 <li>Tobias Arrskog's project is Optimizing rendering of XBMC and aiding the port to ARM.&nbsp; He is being mentored by Mike Zucchi.&nbsp; I'm proposing Mans Rullgard and Søren Steen Christensen to assist as co-mentors. Tobias attends Lunds University, LTH. Sweden.</li>
\r
23 <li>Yaman Umuroglu's project is RPC-like POSIX wrappers for DSPEasy. Yaman is mentored by Katie Roberts-Hoffman.&nbsp; I'm proposing Laine Walker-Avina and Frank Walzer to assist as co-mentors.&nbsp; Yaman attends Middle East Technical University in Turkey.</li>
\r
24 <li>Varun Jewalikar's project is a High level interface to exploit the Pulse Width Modulation abilities of the BeagleBoard.&nbsp; Varun is being mentored by Søren Steen Christensen.&nbsp; I'm proposing Cristina Murillo to assist as a co-mentor, but I'll be looking to see if we can add a co-mentor in India.&nbsp; Varun attends Delhi College of Engineering in India.</li>
\r
25 <li> Nicolas Boichat's project is a USB sniffer on Beagle Board.&nbsp; Nicolas is being mentored by Hunyue Yau.&nbsp; I'm proposing Laine Walker-Avina and Frans Meulenbroeks to assist as co-mentors.&nbsp; Nicolas is finishing his Masters at EPFL (Switzerland).</li>
\r
26 <li>Pramod Poudel's project is OpenCV DSP Acceleration.&nbsp; Pramod is being mentored by Leonardo Estevez.&nbsp; I'm proposing Katie Roberts-Hoffman and Luis Gustavo Lira to assist as co-mentors.&nbsp; Pramod attends University of Texas at Tyler, Texas, USA. </li>
\r
27 </ul>Thanks all for each of the roughly 60 proposals submitted to BeagleBoard.org!!&nbsp; I hope that you'll continue to participate and will consider submitting a proposal again next year.&nbsp; There's been a bit of a lag in the <a href="http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/contest#Sponsored_Projects_Program_.28Contest_.233.29_projects">weekly sponsored projects</a>. Boards should be in the GSoC students' hands this week, so I hope that you register your project there to still have the opportunity to get a board and execute your idea.<br />
\r
29 From the <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline">GSoC timeline</a>, we are currently in the Community Bonding Period and very close to launching our projects:<br />

41 Every student should be in contact with his/her mentor and co-mentors on a regular basis.&nbsp; This Monday, May 17th will be an all-hands meeting on <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=beagle">#beagle</a> at <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&amp;month=5&amp;day=17&amp;hour=14&amp;min=0&amp;sec=0&amp;p1=179&amp;p2=136&amp;p3=195&amp;p4=771">14:00 UTC / 10AM EDT</a>.<br />
\r
43 P.S. Mentors registered with GSoC, please contact me if I don't have the roles defined adequately--I don't mind adding additional co-mentors.
