Renaming the org sounds like a painful exercise with no real gains. +[12:23:17] <Lyude> we could definitely start with the social media if folks are alright with that! +[12:23:25] <ivyl> I think it makes a lot of sense to refocus all the public presence on freedesktop.org. There's enough confusion about X.Org == X Server and X Server only. +[12:24:05] <ivyl> And that would definitely help since fdo is a home to much much more than just X :-) +[12:24:16] <Lyude> yeah definitely, that's the big reason we want to do this +[12:24:24] <rg3igalia> re: rebranding social media: in the last meeting we reviewed if that went against the bylaws or not; I quickly skimmed through them and didn't find any issue about it +[12:24:33] <rg3igalia> we could vote over email and that would get my +1 +[12:25:05] <Lyude> sounds good to me, although I think we've got enough people to vote on it now ( btw cmichael ^ ) +[12:25:19] <rg3igalia> +1 in any case :) +[12:25:24] <alyssa> +1 obviously :p +[12:25:42] <alyssa> [If the resolutioon passes, I'll do the rebrand I guess.] +[12:25:53] <rg3igalia> obviously :P +[12:26:03] <ivyl> +1 +[12:26:21] <cmichael> +1 +[12:26:36] <Lyude> alright, that's approved then :) +[12:26:48] <cmichael> rebranding the social media sounds like a good first step to me +[12:26:55] <anholt_> +1 +[12:27:31] <Lyude> That just leaves the board positions, cmichael and ivyl have you guys decided on what you would be interested in helping out with btw? we currently need someone to head GSoC/EVoC stuff in the future, and also I'm pretty sure anholt_ would very much appreciate someone taking over treasurer work :) +[12:28:05] <ivyl> I can tackle the treasurer work :-) +[12:28:07] <anholt_> I heard ivyl was interested in treasurer, and we talked briefly.

part, you should send a single patch and a patchset (minimum of two patches in the patchset). You are free to send any patch to any kernel subsystem that you prefer; however, to increase your chance to get feedback and your change merged, we recommend the following: + +1. For your first contribution, we recommend something simple but useful. For this reason, here is a list of potential contributions in order of importance: + + 1. Compile your kernel with `W=1`, capture all kernel logs in a file, and try to fix them (try to make a real fix, not simply silencing the compilation warning). + + 1. Compile the kernel documentation, take a look at all warnings and errors and try to fix some of them. + + 1. Run `kw codestyle` and try to fix some of the issues. If you try this type of contribution, do not improve things blindly. Find a problem, understand it, evaluate if we really need it, and then make your patch. Please, try to be very critical of yourself if you try this type of contribution because many of the complaints generated by the kernel codestyle are ignored for a reason. + +1. We recommend you use the drm-misc repository: [[https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/]]. As it will be the repository you will be working with during the GSoC project. + +1. You can focus on any part of the kernel that you want, but we recommend you to work on `drivers/gpu/drm/` since we will work on these helpers during the GSoC project. + +## Project Idea + +The main idea is to increase the test coverage of the DRM core helpers by adding more KUnit tests to it. KUnit is a lightweight unit testing and mocking framework for the +Linux kernel. + +At XDC 2022, Magali Lemes broke down the test coverage of the DRM core helpers [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvKf4bBz74o]], and we can see that there are plenty of DRM helpers that are not fully covered yet. So, in the project, contributors will introduce more unit tests to the DRM core helpers. + +For writing your project proposal, we recommend you to read the following links to learn more about this topic: + +* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing]] + +* [[https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/kunit/]] + +* [[https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/introduction.html]] + +* [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools]] + + +## How To Prepare Your Project Proposal + +The [warm-up](#warmup) section is mandatory for everyone; for this reason, your final project proposal should have one section per assignment with two or three paragraphs that describe your experience with each task. Additionally, including screenshots demonstrating that you've completed those activities (e.g. showing your VM running with your custom kernel) is a plus. + +Finally, make sure that you have the following sections in your application: + +* Basic info about you (Name, preferred pronouns, GitLab or similar, your blog page, your website, email, and IRC nickname); + +* One or two paragraphs about you; + +* A section that describes how you achieved each of the warm-up pre-requisites; + +* Sections that describe your interaction with the Linux kernel (your first patches); + +* Add a section that describes your understanding of the project. We recommend you include something about KUnit and a basic overview of the DRM graphics stack; + +* A section that breaks down how you plan to execute the project proposal while following the GSoC timeline. As previously mentioned, the project's primary goal is to introduce more KUnit tests to the DRM core helpers. Project proposals outside of this context will not be accepted. Although the scope of this project is well defined, contributors need to demonstrate they also understand their skills and boundaries. Therefore, contributors should build a project proposal based on their knowledge, acquired skills, as well as their own ideas. Besides that, make sure to add two main milestones (i.e. it should match the GSoC evaluation dates). + + +_NOTE:_ Feel free to share your draft before submitting the final version.
