RTEMS Accepted in Google Summer of Code 2022

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

I am pleased to be able to announce that the RTEMS Project has been
accepted into the 2022 Edition of the Google Summer of Code (
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/).

There are a few changes this year which everyone should be made aware of
that are discussed at
https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/11/expanding-google-summer-of-code-in-2022.html
:

+ Participants do not have to be students. They only have to be new to open
source.

+ Projects can now be large or small.

+ There is some flexibility in the timeline

We use our ticketing system to track potential projects. There are keywords
like SoC, small, large, kernel, ecosystem, BSPs, etc. These are used to
generate our Open Projects page (
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/OpenProjects). If you have a project
idea, feel free to put it in Trac.

Mentors are always needed and appreciated. You don't have to be an RTEMS
expert to be helpful to a student. Often just being a regular RTEMS user
who has already done some work is enough to be able to help someone newer.
Also you may have experience in some domain or with some hardware that does
make you the right person to mentor. Please let myself or Gedare know if
you want to mentor or just have questions.

But, of course, this would not work without students and new contributors.
Please recruit those who might enjoy a GSoC project.

Thanks.
