[edk2-devel] Possibility of working on task - "Add Network Block Device support"

[Sahil]

Hi,

I have never contributed to Tianocore. While I am comfortable with C and Python, I don't have much experience with firmware development and UEFI. However, I wish to learn and gain exposure in these areas. I was going through the list of tasks[1] and I came across the "Network Block Device Client" project[2]. I am currently going through the related resources and sub-goals[3], and it seems to be very exciting.

Is this project still open for development? If so, I would like to work on it.

I look forward to hearing from you

Sure, I don't think anyone's working on it. While those tasks are
"more destined" towards GSoC, we didn't even have GSoC this past
summer (no idea about further summers?) so you should be all clear to
work on that.

Hi,

Thank you for the prompt reply. I'll continue reading through the related 
resources
and will plan out a roadmap for the project.

I will keep the community posted in case I have questions or there are 
developments.

Thanks,
Sahil
