Hi everyone,
On Monday, GSoC students were informed about which projects were selected to
participate in the program. Here is a short overview of the students who
have been
selected to work with the X.org foundation:
== DRM Render/Modeset Nodes ==
Student: David Herrmann
Mentor: Dave Airlie (airlied)
Blog: http://dvdhrm.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/drm-render-and-modeset-nodes/
== Add Xv support to Glamor ==
Student: Chuan He
Mentors: Arthur Huillet (ahuillet) & Alex Deucher (agd5f)

On a related note, Francisco Jerez (curro) has also been accepted to
work on a TGSI
backend for LLVM, mentored by Tom Stellar (tstellar). This effort will
likely bring support
for openCL to Nouveau and could also bring support to r300g, freedreno,
etc...
Proposal: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-April/060917.html
The project list looks pretty interesting, I hope the results will be
just as good :)
