Writing an open source GPU driver without the hardware
I've got a CS degree and of all the things that I studied, including OS design, nothing gives me that feeling of black magic like Kernel hacking and driver building. It's like being told your gonna learn how to draw an owl you start with some ovals and then you have a completed owl.<p>Low level stuff has always been interesting to me, I just have no clue how one would even get started with it, or who would even pay me to work on it.
