1 I am not a developer yet, but I would like to suggest some idea possibilities:
2
3 Minix port of Gentoo
4 Illumos port of Gentoo
5 LLVM/Clang System Compiler Support
6 ICC System Compiler Support (probably easier than LLVM/Clang)
7 Port of Gentoo/FreeBSD to amd64 (or other architectures)
8 Gentoo/FreeBSD KVM port (we don't have to let upstream have all of the fun)
9 Gentoo Prefix --as-needed support on one or more architectures that
10 currently lack it
11 Gentoo Prefix Cygwin support
12 Gentoo Prefix Minix support
13
14 I might be too inexperienced to serve as a mentor this summer,
15 provided that the recruitment process finishes in time. I would
16 appreciate it if anyone interested in being a mentor for any of these
17 ideas adopted them.
