Google Summer of Code Publicity

Hello,

We are delighted to have been accepted into Google Summer of Code, and even more so when you consider that OpenInkpot was founded only three months ago!

OpenInkpot was founded in order to create a free alternative to the often proprietary and closed operating systems present on the various e-ink devices out there. In the short period that OpenInkpot has been active, there has been remarkably rapid progress with the Jinke Hanlin/lBook V3 hardware - to the point where we already have our own firmware booting on the V3. But we still have a lot ahead of us!

We are always in need of more people and ideas, and Google Summer of Code offers us, and you, a perfect opportunity to be part of the future of reading!

We welcome students to assist us in furthering the development of a free operating system for e-ink devices.

Ideas can be found at http://openinkpot.org/wiki/GSoCIdeas but below is a brief summary of what you could do for us!

• Port OpenInkpot to another e-ink device
• Add wi-fi capability to e-ink devices (via a SD wi-fi card)
• Add text-input capability to e-ink devices.
• Your idea here! We are open to any new and/or innovative ideas you come up with!

Many thanks for your interest!

The OpenInkpot Team!
