The planned work includes completing HCI commands, improving pairing and Link Key persistence, and handling disconnection and timeout events. ### Source excerpt Hello! I'm Mohammed R. Attia, a 2nd-year Computer Science Student. I've been accepted into Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026 with Haiku, with my proposal titled "Modernizing Haiku's Bluetooth Stack: HCI Completion and HID Profile Implementation." About Me I consider myself a competitive programmer and a software engineer. I haven't decided on a specific specialization in software engineering just yet; rather, I'm interested in systems development and low-level programming. You can check my GitHub for more information about my latest projects. I go by the handle mohammedrattia in many places on the internet, so feel free to reach out :). How did I get here? I first learned about Haiku while searching for GSoC organizations to contribute to. It was my first time learning about a desktop operating system other than the famous trio: Windows, macOS, and Linux. So, I started by reading the GSoC guide and joining IRC. I remember that the process was smooth because the guide contained everything, and people on IRC were welcoming and supportive. Then, I started working towards building Haiku, and I got my first commit merged into Haiku after several days. Current Goals The main goal of my proposal in GSoC is to modernize the Bluetooth stack. Currently, the Bluetooth stack in Haiku can't communicate effectively with modern Bluetooth devices because of the outdated standards it uses. However, making the Bluetooth core perfectly align with modern standards won't benefit Haiku users because it would still need a Bluetooth Profile to perform a useful task. One of the most common uses of Bluetooth is Human Interface Devices (HID) (e.g., keyboards and mice). Accordingly, this project will build the HID Bluetooth profile to provide useful functionality for Haiku users. The following three sub-sections contain a brief specification for the goals of the project from my GSoC proposal. Modern HCI Event & Command Handling Build upon the recent SSP/EIR groundwork by implementing the remai ## The Journey Begins: Meet the 2026 GSoC Contributors!

Haiku was especially helpful during ReactOS' successful application to Google Summer of Code 2011, providing advice and feedback on ReactOS' application efforts, and the ReactOS project remains grateful for the assistance. ## ReactOS Google Summer of Code Progress, Kernel Testing, and lwIP Integration DevFeed: [ReactOS Google Summer of Code Progress, Kernel Testing, and lwIP Integration]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2011-08-30T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Front Page on ReactOS Website]() Topics: [ReactOS](), [Testing](), [Kernel](), [lwIP](), [Benchmark](), [networking](), [Windows](), [WINE]() Tags: [benchmark](), [free](), [google-summer-of-code](), [kernel](), [lwip](), [networking](), [open-source](), [os](), [react](), [reactos](), [testing](), [win32](), [winapi]() ### AI overview This ReactOS newsletter reports progress on its Google Summer of Code projects, including a completed kernel-mode test framework and the integration of the lwIP networking library as a driver. It explains how kernel tests can compare Windows and ReactOS behavior and notes reported improvements in network stability and speed during testing. ### Source excerpt Google Summer of Code Progress Of the six projects ReactOS entered as part of the Google Summer of Code, four are well on track to completion. Each of the completed projects will greatly help increase ReactOS' usability and provide a foundation for future enhancement. Many of the successful projects will help make ReactOS more usable from both a stability and UI perspective. The deadline for final submissions is already over and the project and Google are currently evaluating students. ## Google Summer of Code 2011 DevFeed: [Google Summer of Code 2011]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2011-03-20T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Front Page on ReactOS Website]() Topics: [ReactOS](), [Development](), [Operating system](), [Google]() Tags: [developer](), [free](), [google-summer-of-code](), [open-source](), [os](), [program](), [react](), [reactos](), [student](), [win32](), [winapi]() ### AI overview ReactOS was accepted into the 2011 Google Summer of Code program. The project planned to use the opportunity to develop new features and share knowledge about operating system development and Windows internals with participating students. ### Source excerpt We are proud to announce that ReactOS has been accepted into the 2011 Google Summer of Code program. It has been a few years since we were last a part of the program, so we are keen to use this opportunity not only to benefit ReactOS in hopefully gaining new features, but in passing on our knowledge to bright and prospective students with an interest in operating system development and especially Windows internals.
