Hey Everyone,

So Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is fast approaching, and I wanted to
gauge interest in having the MinnowBoard project participate.  There's
two things that we would need to start figuring out about now: who is
interested in mentoring a student, and what projects do we have that
students could work on.  Some general ideas I've had that might be of
interest:

- Integrate iPXE into the firmware load for the MinnowBoard MAX
	Means pulling the existing Realtek driver out, integrating iPXE
	into the existing Tianocore build system and making sure that
	all works

- Work on a kernel proposal to help make GPIO numbering more stable by
adding dsdt support and alternative names for gpios

We've actually got a fairly broad range of things we could mentor for,
it's mostly a question of - what are people interested in seeing get
done for making MinnowBoard easier / better to use, and are their folks
interested in stepping up and mentoring?
