Great! Remember today is the deadline to get the Google application in with
the PDF of your proposal. Do your best and we will work to fine tune it
assuming you meet the Google deadline.

Please update the table of students (you need a Trac/wiki account to do
this) and include a link to your proposal in Google docs.

The Pi2 should be an interesting project. Last year's student got stuck on
SMP support. That is important to get working so we have a cheap 4-core ARM
reference target,
