If you have systems programming experience, I would encourage you to not be afraid to take on some projects that push you into the C programming. I saw the two you picked are more Python oriented, but maybe you will have more fun hacking in the kernel?

This is fine for the proof. Note that we limit code line lengths to 80<br>
characters in practice:<br>
<a href="https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/eng/coding-formatting.html#eighty-character-line-limit" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/eng/coding-formatting.html#eighty-character-line-limit</a><br>
<br>
Please add your info to <a href="https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/2021#StudentsProposals" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/2021#StudentsProposals</a><br>
and start to investigate which open projects you might like to<br>
consider. You will need to engage on the devel mailing list with the<br>
potential mentors about those projects, as some of the projects may be<br>
no longer available or suitable, and in general the projects need to<br>
be scoped appropriately. This engagement is best done in a separate<br>
email thread dedicated to the proposed area(s) you want to investigate.<br>
