Hello everyone, I'm Josef Lusticky and I'd like to write a Bachelor thesis about operating systems. I'm student of Faculty of Information Technology in Brno, Czech Republic and I have been using Linux since 2006 and Archlinux since 2008. I'm enthuasistic user of Arch and Linux in general and I'd like to help this project by improving or creating some stuff. I'd like to implement some driver or port of app. I know C, assembly and some scripting languages. Yes, I know there is the pacman package signing feature missing, but I do not consider it work for one person and I would rather work on something like userspace tools needed for kernel (e.g. filesystem tools, etc.). Can you recommand me something good for my skills?

Best regards, Josef Lusticky

Ahoj Pepo :)

I just remembered your email from yesterday when I was crying about the fortune of kmobiletools.

It is/was a great tool, but the development has ceased. Please see my wish: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270266 and consider if you would like to work on that project? :) It's developed in C(++?), can touch driver issues (if you want), and definitely is highly popular and has good promises for the future. The old hackers are still around, so they should be able to help you with some details if you needed.

It just crossed my mind so I gave it a try and pass the idea to you.

Have a nice day, cau, Marek --

I've heard btrfs is still missing a proper fsck

Also NILFS filesystem development is very slow and the project has a long todo list including some gui tools.

Thanks for suggestion, this sounds good to me. I will definitively look at NILFS. Cheers.

Fsck for btrfs seems to be a rather complicated for one person to study and implement. Nevertheless I will consider it. Thank you Thomas.
