Port gRPC to one of (Free, Net, Open) BSD platforms and create packages for them. Add kqueue support in the process. -2. Fix gRPC C-core's URI parser. The current parser does not qualify as a standard parser according to [RFC3986]( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). Write test suites to verify this and make changes necessary to make the URI parser compliant. -3. HPACK compression efficiency evaluation - Figure out how to benchmark gRPC's compression efficiency (both in terms of bytes on the wire and cpu cycles). Implement benchmarks. Potentially extend this to other standalone implementations -- Java and Go. +We want gRPC to be the universal protocol for all computing platforms and +paradigms, so while these are our ideas of what we think would make good +projects for the summer, we're eager to hear your ideas and proposals as well. +Try us out and get to know the gRPC code and team! + +**Required skills for all projects:** git version control, collaborative +software development on github.com, and software development in at least one +of gRPC's ten languages on at least one of Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. + +------------------------------------- + +gRPC C Core: + +1. Port gRPC to one of the major BSD platforms ([FreeBSD](https://freebsd.org), [NetBSD](https://netbsd.org), and [OpenBSD](https://openbsd.org)) and create packages for them.

Evaluate the port of gRPC's Python implementation to PyPy. Investigate the state of [Cython support](http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/pypy.html) to do this or potentially explore cffi - 2.
