Develop a read-only ext2 filesystem driver. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2
- Difficulty: Medium ... Hard
- Language: C
- Mentors: Mike Kinney and Bret Barkelew
- Suggested by: rsun3
- Status: Completed ✔️ as GSoC2021 project by Pedro Falcato (@heatd).
- Available at: edk2-platforms/tree/master/Features/Ext4Pkg
LLVM support in EDK II is currently limited to Linux builds. Getting LLVM running on Windows would enable the TianoCore project to support Clang and the LLVM toolchain more robustly. Microsoft Windows 10 should be the primary target.
- Difficulty: Medium
- Language: C, Python
- Mentor: @shijunjing
- Suggested by: @shijunjing
- Status: Completed ✔️ as GSoC2021 project by Yuqi Chen (@alyssachne).

Optimize cursor motion sequences; support Linux/UNIX standard (xterm/konsole/gnome-terminal/etc.) key codes and line-drawing characters (currently one must set their terminal emulator to use code page 437 for correct line drawing.)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Language: C
- Mentor: @nate-desimone and Rocio Hernandez Fabian
- Suggested by: bjjohnson, @nate-desimone
- Status: Completed ✔️ as GSoC2021 project by Caden Kline (@Pokemod97).

Add Xen specific support in OVMF to improve boot & runtime performance. http://www.xen.org/
- Difficulty: Medium/Hard
- Language: C
- Mentor:
- Suggested by: andreiwarkentin, Bei Guan
- Status: Implemented via https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1689
Port EmulatorPkg to Microsoft Windows (32/64 bit), as a replacement for NT32.
- Difficulty: Medium
- Language: C

Microsoft Visual Studio will be released March 7, 2017. Add VS2017 build support to EDK II.
Intel Firmware Engine adds UserExtensions in the SDK to describe connections between modules and module parameters (as "Patchable In Binary" PCDs). This enables binary distribution of configurable firmware components. Porting these extensions to a branch of OVMF would allow development and testing of these concepts on a virtual platform.
- Status: This application has EOL'd as of Aug 2019
- Languages: C, Python
- Mentor: @jcarsey
Get Xen to boot UEFI with OVMF.
- Difficulty: Hard (depending on tasks taken on)
- Language: C
- Mentor: andreiwarkentin, @jljusten
- Suggested by: andreiwarkentin
- Status: Available in main edk2 tree

- Difficulty: Medium
- Language: Assembly, C
- Mentor:
- Suggested by: @jljusten
- Status: Available in EDK II tree
Enable Link-time Code Optimization on Linux for either GCC or LLVM/CLANG. http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LinkTimeOptimization
This feature hopefully would significantly reduce code generation size for Linux based builds.
