I don't see any change from the past few years when this has come up in
the past with regards to projects relating to the kernel.  Do you know
of any?

Also, please note that Portland State University has traditionally
sponsered a few kernel projects every year for quite some time now with
very good results, so there is some competition there...

(ob disclosure, I'm a mentor for PSU's GSoC group.)
