Hey everyone, I have been working on the project for the past two weeks and would love to share my update here as well.
My first task is to create an empty file system module and test the same on fs_shell. As fs_shell provides an interface to build and test the file system in a commandline tool, it will be easier to test the file system module.
I made an XFS image file using the following commands:

This is my first progress report. Following are the things I did in last couple of weeks:
Set up the Environment. Started on Dynamic Tracker Menu. Had a nice chat with my mentor Stippi. Learnt how to build Haiku on Haiku. Especially, building and running the Tracker module. Faced few difficulties in Dynamic Tracker Menu. Solved them with some help. About Dynamic Tracker Menu Dynamic Tracker Menu lets addon add items to the popup menu of Tracker based on the files selected.
Hey folks! here’s the updates of past two weeks on the project!
I have cloned the latest haiku source and built the image file. With the generated image file I have emulated sdhci-pci device successfully. Following are the instructions to be followed:
Cloning the source code git clone https://github.com/haiku/haiku.git git clone https://github.com/haiku/buildtools.git Compiling Source Code Create a directory where you are going to save the build image and related files

32/64 bit hybrid support Let's start with the most exciting developments this month: Korli started work on a 32/64 bit hybrid. The idea is to run a 64bit system, but allow 32bit applications to run on it. While we are just at the very first steps, it is a good thing that this is being worked on, as it will allow us to move more smoothly towards 64bit support.
Hello everyone! My name is Abhinand and I am really happy to say that I am one of the people who has been selected for GSoC 2018. And more importantly, I will be working on adding support for XFS.

I would like to begin with a short introduction about me and the work that I did so far.
Hello everyone! I am B Krishnan Iyer(irc: krish-iyer, telegram: krish_iyer trac: krish_iyer, github: krish-iyer), currently pursuing bachelor's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Amrita University. I am one of the three GSoC participants with Haiku. I am greatful to everyone for accepting me as an intern. This summer I will be developing SDHCI MMC driver.
About Me My area of interest lies in Embedded system, apart from academics, I work on developing drivers for microcontrollers.
Hie, I’m Hrishikesh Hiraskar (IRC/Trac/Github: hrily) from India. I will be working on TrackGit, a git addon for Git version control for Tracker under GSoC 2018. I’m really excited to be a part of Haiku community and for doing this project. I’m currently doing my B.Tech. in Computer Engineering at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. You can find more information about me on my website or my blog.
About TrackGit The proposed project focuses on implementing an Addon for Tracker to support the Git version control system.
Welcome to the third monthly report for 2018!
This report covers hrev51833-hrev51872.
System Hrishi Hiraskar (one of our GSoC applicants) reworked the management of the shutdown phase. This revolves around both launch daemon and the BRoster, which collaborate together to coordinate system shutdown. Things must happen in a specific order to make sure all apps are properly terminated (leaving the user a chance to save his work if not done yet), and only then, system servers are stopped.

Infrastructure There is a lot of invisible work in progress on getting the Haiku infrastructure migrated to a new server and streamlined to use containers and standardized setup. This will eventually allow to better share the work of system administration in a larger team, allowing to scale up the infrastructure.
Part of this work is updating our Pootle install, which will soon have a new version up in production.

Switch to Gerrit The Haiku git repository is now running Gerrit. Gerrit is a tool designed to help with code reviews. The idea is to review the code before it is integrated in nightly builds, instead of reviewing after the fact as it was done for Haiku until now.
This should make it easier to track pending patches, and increase the stability of the nightly builds and development branch.
