Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for twelve previous years!
.. admonition:: BeagleBoard.org background
BeagleBoard.org is a volunteer organization that seeks to advance the state of
`open-source software <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software>`_ on `open-source
hardware <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware>`_ platforms capable of
running high-level languages and operating systems (like Linux and Zephyr) in embedded
environments. Born from taking mobile phone processors and putting them on low-cost boards to build affordable
desktop computers, BeagleBoard.org has evolved to focus on the needs of the "maker" community with greater focus
on the I/O needed for controlling motors and reading sensors to build things like robots, 3d printers, flying
drones, in-car computer systems and much more. BeagleBoard has `inspired creation of the Raspberry Pi <https://web.archive.org/web/20120302232755/www.linuxuser.co.uk/features/raspberry-pi-interview-eban-upton-reveals-all>`_, built over 6 million computers and made PocketBeagle available world-wide for about $25, but is more than a throw-away computer. It is an instance
of true open hardware, exposing users to the broader world of electronics, demystifying computers and fostering an environment
of clones that have changed the industry for good.
