00	Chris Tyler	http://blog.chris.tylers.info/	ctyler	chris.tyler	Professor	libgcroots	gdb (add reverse debugging support for AArch64)		libgcroots (garbage collection root library) is used by sigscheme and uim (multilingual input library) and looks like a moderate task - needs arch/OS specific information about finding stack base. gdb reverse debugging support (which is currently unmaintained) works only on x86 at present but the porting work looks heavy but reasonable.

01	Hunter Jansen	http://rawkamatic.github.io/opensource			Student	jsl	snort	fio,	Snort is a weird case in that it doesn't seem to actually have any assembler code in it, so it could potentially be small; requires more investigation. JSL's asm looks to mainly be for a few platforms. CT: Snort is dead.package in Fedora since F14. Why?	CT
02	Linpei Fan	http://linpei.blogspot.ca/	Lilyaj	lfan9	CPA Student
03	Adam Sharpe	http://adamsharpe8.blogspot.ca/		ansharpe	Student
04	Omid Djahanpour	http://odjahanpour.wordpress.com		odjahanpour	Student	siege
05	Kieran Sedgwick	http://sedgestuff.wordpress.com/		ksedgwick	Student	unrar-free	LAME		unrar-free presents more of a challenge, since it definitely has ASM code that needs to be made portable. LAME's debugger ASM code needs more research to understand. CT: LAME is not included in Fedora or Debian - why?	CT
06	Gabriel Castro	http://blog.gabrielcastro.ca		gcastrolondono	Student
07	Edwin Lum	http://edwinlum.wordpress.com/	Lumed	elum1	Student	eigen3	drbd8			CT
08	Brendan Henderson	http://paracr4ckbeginnings.wordpress.com/	paraCr4ck	bdhenderson	Student
09	Emmanuel Ho Fidelino	http://sylask.wordpress.com/		ehofidelino	Student	krb5	polarssl		CT: testing krb5 will require a lot of setup. Likewise, polarssl is a library and is not used directly but accessed by other software (power DNS, dislocker). How are you going to test your changes to these packages? Do they include test suites?
