Thomas Cort - Unix Domain Sockets

Thomas is going to be mentored by Thomas Veerman (yep, two Thomases!) in implementing unix domain socket support for Minix. This is a valuable addition to Minix, as it's often a sticking point for porting applications.

Gautam Buccapatnam Tirumala - pkgsrc

Gautam is going to be mentored by Arun Thomas and Ben Gras in porting NetBSD's pkgsrc portable package porting infrastructure to Minix, finally giving Minix a mature package management system, and probably many more ported packages out of the box to boot.

Feiran Zheng - multiboot

Feiran will be mentored by Erik van der Kouwe, and will work on making Minix multiboot compliant. This means Minix will no longer depend on its own boot monitor in order to boot, circumventing boot monitor limitations where necessary, being more grub-friendly, and most likely smoothing the path for booting on an embedded system in the future.

Stefano Cordio - firewall

Stefano will be mentored by Cristiano Giuffrida, and will implement or port a modern firewall / packet filter in Minix' inet server.

Ezek igen izgalmasnak tűnnek. Az utolsó segítségével valószínűleg a gyufaskatulya méretűnél is kisebb FW-t lehetne összehozni.
