| | 129 | == Task : Compare and Contrast Google's Dalvik VM and Parrot VM |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | '''Potential Mentors''': |
| | 132 | |
| | 133 | '''Difficulty''': Easy |
| | 134 | |
| | 135 | '''Category''': Research |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | '''Background''': Technical writing |
| | 138 | |
| | 139 | '''Details''': We would like a short paper that compares and contrasts the Dalvik VM to Parrot VM, describing which characterists each shared, what things are different, how optimizations are done and which ideas Parrot can utilize from Dalvik. This paper should be in an open source format, and can take the form of a blog post or a POD file that can be included with the Parrot documentation or on the Parrot website. |

| | 152 | |
| | 153 | '''Category''': Outreach |
| | 154 | |
| | 155 | '''Background''': Vector Graphics |
| | 156 | |
| | 157 | '''Details''': Parrot would like a really cool T-shirt so that Parrot developers and users can show their pride. The result needs to be modifiable in in an open source tool and be in a vector graphic format. |
| | 158 | Any of the current Parrot logos can be used as a starting point, or a totally new graphic can be created. |

| | 160 | '''Links''': http://parrot.org |
| | 161 | |
| | 162 | '''Benefits''': Currently we do not have any Parrot T-shirts. As Google Summer of Code has shown, T-shirts motivate open source developers and make them happy :) |
